I knew that I was choosing the right man for me when my male cat Jojo, who is the worlds biggest fraidy cat, came out of hiding five minutes after he walked in and adopted him. This from the cat who hides if the door rattles a bit from a change of pressure.

Wow. That is the most beautiful display of sarcasm that I have ever seen. (No I'm not being sarcastic. I'm actually rolling on the floor laughing so hard I feel like I'm going to pee.) Its too bad that there will be those who take you seriously. I hope Heather gets as much of a kick out of your response to Aurora as I did.

Heather, you are a darling. I love your posts and wish you'd do them more often. However, I fully understand the pressures of that lifestyle. My future Bro-in-law is a pilot and I hear often about his scheduling. I dont envy you. I do respect you. And I will admit, what I've read here has definitely made my flights (few and far between as they are) much easier. Thank you.

Wow. THere are alot of guys on this board with REALLY insecure ladies. And alot of women with REALLY insecure guys. Alot of the points in this article are applicable to male and female for the exact same reasons. The practice of blaming it on one sex or the other is ridiculous. A solid relationship involves a balance of give an take. She introduces her girfriends, he introduces his "bros". He talks about his ex. She talks about hers. And so on. The result: A good, secure relationship that lasts a life time. A partnership. But it takes work, every day. Its not easy. Nothing is simple. The first step: Be secure in yourself. (This is from someone who battled with alot of self esteem issues and did alot of painful soul searching.) WHen you are secure in yourself, you have something to offer to a lasting relationship and, most importantly, a partnership. Its the hard times that test your relationship, that make it stronger. Its the good times that are the reward if you do things right. No one can tell you what is the right way and what is the wrong way. That leads to insecurity. But the only ones to blame, are the people who let the insecurities of others infect them. You cant control other's insecurities, but you can control and deal with your own.
Sorry. Didnt mean to preach. Just speaking from personal experience.

Have you ever tried dancing and singing at the same time for an hour and a half straight? Anyone who's ever tried it knows that its bloody difficult for longer than a few minutes, and nearly impossible to keep on key. IF you want the singer to sing, then have her stand still. If you want more then accept there will be lip syncing. Common Sense and Practicality, people. Common Sense and Practicality.

I have no problems with spanking. I encourage it and I know my parents do. I got spanked several times, always when I deserved it. I was never smacked without clearly understanding why. The last one I got was with a wire hanger after my father caught me stealing at the grocery store. He didnt leave welts and I love my father a great deal. I actually take after him more than my mother. It set the lines for me and for my younger sisters not to cross. As a result I am a healthy, happy, creative, confident and intelligent young woman who has carved a stable life and career out for herself with out depending on anyone. If I had dropped down and put my parents in a position to drag me, playful intent or not, I'd have been picked up put back on my feet and told to stand up. A second infraction would, and has, resulted in swats. And I hated getting a swat from my mom more than spanking from my dad. She knew how to swat and leave a sting!

Not entirely true. My guy has a large stash of porn. Some of it is on his IPod. I'm not threatened by it. In fact I've found that if we watch it together, even while not pawing or doing anything else sexual, the sex next time is amazing. And he usually initiates. I have my own stash of porn (You're silly if you think women dont watch it too.) and he knows what kind of things I like. We've watched it together too. Theres nothing wrong with fantasy and nothing threatening...as long as you have a woman secure in herself.

Acturally Carol, its out of pride that she is doing this. She's proud of her body and clearly wants to show it off. She's actually got a rather nice one. Not movie star quality, but a nice one. If she didnt cover her genetalia, I admit I'd have problems. Too many pervos these days, but just walking around topless? And to previous posts that say she shouldnt because its a family event, it doesnt surprise me that this country is so neurotic if we cant even teach our children to accept the basic human body with dignity and calm. Vicious cycle people...And dont tell me I dont know what I'm talking about. I am a mother. Have a blessed day

I have read the comments and seen many people stating that this woman is degrading herself and sick to wear a leash. From the point of view of a submissive, let me point out that she isnt degrading herself. She's got all the power in the relationship. Its her Yes or NO that allows the behavior to go on. The dominant can only do anything to her be it make love to her or lead her around on a leash if SHE allows it. She chooses to live that life style because she gets everything she desires out of it, from love to care. And gives that back to the person on the end of the leash. I doubt that I can make any of you protesters understand the joy that she feels, that I feel, but simply surrendering to my loved one. It doesnt take away my personality, free will, or my freedom. Nor does it take away hers. It gives us both and our partners both great joy and happiness. So I ask you this: If all involved are happy, where is the harm? If I want to be lead around by a leash, it doesnt mean that I am degrading myself...I'm parading my love for all the world to see.

Well yeah...We know that. It says as much in the article. I'm all for it! And if they ever get the chance to make furries too, I'm becoming a siamese cat!! Meow!

Sex can cure alot of things...
