Power Exchange

pleasurewhore:

It’s making the doctor’s appointment I don’t think I need, because he told me to.

It’s taking a bath, or a nap, when there are a million things waiting, because he takes better care of me than I do.

It’s making a healthy choice at lunch, when a cheeseburger sounds awfully good.

It’s turning out the lights at midnight, even when I don’t feel tired.

There is power to be exchanged through sex, but power exchange isn’t only about kneeling and cock sucking. Like reducing the universe to the stars you can see, there is so much more to it than that. Power exchange is about surrendering your will to the will of another. It’s the little decisions… the ones that aren’t fun, or pleasurable. It’s knowing that you’re capable of making the decision yourself, and allowing him to make it anyway. Every concession is a piece of power pushed over the line, and your clothes never need to come off for you to be left standing naked.

Beautifully said, and absolutely true.

How much do you trust your partner?

Does this image make you nervous? 

This is not exclusive to D/s relationships, but trust is fundamental for many reasons. 

you are trusting that your partner will respect your limits. 

you are trusting that your partner will stop when you safe word. 

you are trusting that your partner knows what they are doing. 

you are trusting that your partner is not going to leave you. 

you are trusting that your partner understands you. 

That is a lot of trust, and it must be earned. 

If that trust is broken, it can be irreparable. 

Not only for that specific partner, 

but anyone they try to play with from that point on. 

If you cannot uphold that trust, stop. 

If you cannot trust your partner. stop.

Here’s a fun game to play. Gag your sub, cuff their hands
behind their back and tell them they’re not allowed to cum unless they use
their words to beg for it. Then you have fun. Tease them, play with them, make
them buck their hips and drool around their gag. Edge them as long as you like
and every time they’re about to cum, tell them to use their words and when they
can’t, watch them squirm and cry and fight for more, just a little more, it’s
all they need after all.

You can play with them all night if you like. You can have
mercy and take off the gag, let them have a fair chance to finally cum for you,
messy and shaking and ready to drop. Or not, let them squirm, let them cry, but
don’t let them cum. It could even be a punishment if you like, or a reward.

Men are using a powerful hashtag to fight back against emotional abuse

According to NCADV, 4 in 10 people have experienced some kind of coercive control from an intimate partner. Sadly, #MaybeSheDoesntHitYou is raising much-needed awareness for a widespread problem.

All right pals. I know people are going to roll their eyes at this and see it as an MRA thing, but this really isn’t about undermining abuse suffered by women. It’s about acknowledging that men can be abused, because people of all genders are capable of being abusive and some men have abusive partners. It’s about emotional abuse, which is notoriously hard to speak up about, affecting men, a group who are notoriously loath to speak up about being in an abusive relationship. So this is #important honestly.
Emotional abuse is serious and real and can happen to anyone. It can be perpetuated by people of ALL genders, regardless of wider social dynamics, and absolutely no one deserves to go through it.
I’d have preferred the hashtag not to be about straight relationships and to acknowledge that abuse can be perpetuated by people of all genders, but nonetheless, this is really important.

abuse is abuse regardless of gender identity

Shit if these aren’t relatable
