I is for Intentional Family

Intentional families are common in both kink and poly circles. An intentional family is a group of people who have decided, intentionally, to act as a family group. An intentional family possibly prepares and eats meals together, they might go to events as a group, have a movie or game night, or just hang out together. 

Intentional families, like good traditional families, are available for help and support, to give advice and share life experiences while making new family traditions together.

Someone might look for an intentional family if they are in the closet with their sexuality, gender choices, relationship styles, or kinks. Often times they don't feel sustained, supported, or free to be themselves around their biological family so they seek out people who they perceive as more like them.

Control

In my ongoing quest to find another D/s relationship, I've talked to a lot of men who identify as submissive online. A lot of these men view submission as a fetish and are therefore only interested in being submissive when it will get their dick hard, which is valid, but not what I'm looking for. The problem with that is that some of them are either very good at hiding this fact or have so little self-awareness that they don't realize it themselves and think they are ready to be submissive inside and outside the bedroom. It's hot to think of giving up control of your orgasms. Being required to ask for permission to orgasm or being locked in a chastity device appeals to a lot of submissive leaning men. The thought of performing oral servitude for hours seems hot in theory as well. He thinks " surely if I go down on her she'll reward me with an orgasm too" or "it would be so hot to feel myself pushing against the binding of a chastity device" b...

Poly Problems

In polyamourous realtionships, the partners of your partner (that you aren't romantically involved with) are referred to as metamours. Also, in polyamorous relationships feelings of jealousy or envy often cause hiccups. So it feels odd to complain about a metamour. If someone complained to me about their's, my knee jerk reaction would be that they're jealous of their partner's other relationship or feeling insecure about their own relationship with that partner. But, guys, I don't like one of my metamours! I do occasionally feel jealous of or envious of this person's relationship with my partner but the root of my dislike for them is due to their behavior toward our shared partner. There is a lot of dishonesty and untrustworthy behavior in that relationship and I detest both of those things in any relationship. But since I care about my partner, it bothers me more that this person is causing pain through a lack of honesty. I try really hard to not comment ...

My mental illness has been winning the fight for control of my brain for the last 7 months or so. I would win a battle now and then, but the war raged on, and not in my favor. Then, I received new weapons which seemed to turn the odds to my favor. This grievously offended the monster I was fighting, and it doubled down on its attack. Over the last weekend, the fighting was very bad, and I was literally fighting for my life. When I woke up this morning I listened to see what the asshole who lives in my brain had to say and it was quiet. I spent some time looking for it (it likes to hide and ambush) but it wasn’t anywhere nearby. I think it may have finally retreated to the little black crypt in lives in when it’s not trying to kill me. I know it’s still there and it will come out and attack one day when it senses weakness from me. While it licks its wounds, I’m in charge of the brain and with no evil whispers in my ear, I’m ready to be myself again. I realize now that I shut e...
