I felt such RELIEF just from reading the first page. I have been on this journey on my own for all of my conscious life. I became aware of my inclinations at age three and have felt that I had to hide them ever since. I know that my sleep issues stemmed from feeling like I needed to stay awake after my parents went to sleep in order to explore myself fully. I have been a powerful submissive bottom since long before I understood what I felt. I know that I exist in a currently confused role, but it doesn't feel confusing to me.... Thank you for the validation I feel from your site. Thank you for this site!

At 67, (Fetlife, loyalslave11) i have found myself deeply in need of the Goddess in my life and the transcendance She brings, and long for a relationship with a woman who represents this Goddess to me. Along with this, the concept of Female Supremacy is very interesting. This is not reverse patriarchy, or women's turn to oppress men. It is a fantasy of the natural order as imagined by mythologies from ancient times to today. my experience is that i could not be the male person i have become without the Feminist movement who not only brought freedom for women , but for men as well. Their persistent sense of equality has enabled everyone to seek equity in every aspect of their lives, including sexuality. An outcome of Feminism, i believe, is the sex positive culture which embraces sexuality as a beautiful truth and beauty of life, in all its forms. But prejudice, especially about kink, will continue to exist to some extent, just as anti semetism and the like have. As Gordon Allport's research on prejudice showed prejudgement is a part of human consciousness, part of a protective system and the need to identify with a group as one's "in group", and he said, every InGroup needs an OutGroup. Within ourselves we make this decison as to which in group and out groups exist for us. It is a great thing, Amy, to read of Your self definition, with strength and pride. Be well, everyone, and may Your peronal sexual mythologies continue to grow and develop contibuting to Your happiness and fulfillment. Thank You nfor this blog.

I'm a FBSM/Domme in Marin and navigating between the two is an interesting experience. Your work sounds perfect for some of the issues that come up for me. I also wanted to compliment you on your website. It's lovely, and is refreshing to see your thoughtful reflection on such a complex and wonderful aspect of humanity. Please pass on, when you're ready, the cost of the workshop and details. I just wanted my name on your attendees list. Look forward to it. Corinne Hello Galen,
