We dare, we excite, we seek new experience, to test our own limits.<br /><br />From the beginning of self, none of us have sought these kinky tendencies: nobody chooses what turns us on, at the very core of ourselves. These experiences, this lifestyle - are what we want and choose now, yes, but also what we need.<br /><br />How many people, and quite particularly in Ms. Stickhttp://fetlife.com/users/30956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3771730470771017640.post-89663207195398868822009-05-29T20:44:02.585+01:002009-05-29T20:44:02.585+01:00Living out of Ireland as I do I have avoided the h...Living out of Ireland as I do I have avoided the horrible details & the endless press comments so I count myself lucky that this did not effect my as it has you.<br /><br />Before the report was released we all knew I think exactly what was going on.

I think Seano is onto something, though. And in the end, you don't get to choose what turns you on. You can choose to supress it, turn away from it, deny it, but it won't ever completely go away.

It is important, however that we continue to do so (try explain ourselves). I see my kink as a lovely side of my personality thats developed over the past 17 years.

Seano gives us a very good rationalisation but, like you, I can't help but shiver a little bit right now. For me, there is an unwanted and unsexy frisson in this being the weekend that I summoned the courage to go to Nimhneach for the first time. I am still elated from the experience (see http://masterfulstrokes.blogspot.com/ ) and my head is Master Retephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04311695282682721027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3771730470771017640.post-4977021023718899362009-05-26T22:26:49.143+01:002009-05-26T22:26:49.143+01:00Hi Emma

I'd imagine you're into self discovery through the theatricisation of those elements of your personality which are deepest and most visceral, therefore the most powerful.
