It just struck me that the last physical human contact I had was when Penny Barber peed on me back at the start of March. It was a great scene but, in retrospect, an odd note to enter quarantine on. Kind of like the condemned’s last meal, only in liquid form. If I’d known what was to come, maybe I’d have requested a gentler and more nurturing session. Although for a masochist, genital torture and watersports is somewhat nurturing.
I am craving human contact, which is very weird for a natural introvert who’s lived on his own for 20 or so years. I’d take something wet and warm, or hard and slappy, or even a simple hug at this stage.
I’ve seen a lot of people posting about being hungry to play again, but I wonder what form that play will take? Is it going to be an explosion of pent-up kinky energy resulting in many intense scenes? Or are people going to want to ease back into it? Personally I don’t think I could do an intense scene right now. I’d enjoy the holiday from thought that pain provides, but it’d be risky to flood my brain with endorphins and adrenaline in my current emotional state. I might need some gentle warm-up sessions first. Is hugging a kink?
There’s no particular logic behind this image, other than it represents exactly the kind of playful physical contact I currently crave. This is from a series called Love Stories” by Victor Demarchelier for Numero magazine.
Great reflection. I especially love the first paragraph. The first sentence should be the beginning of a novel! Thank you for all your writing!
That made me smile. It’s not quite up there with a Tale of Two Cities, but I see what you mean. If I dropped the second word (just), it would make for a good hook at the start of a book! Glad you enjoyed the post. Always nice to get positive feedback.

Following up on a tweet exchange I had with Estelle Sinclair, I am wondering about scene negotiations in the coming months. What, if any, procedures, boundaries or protocals will you look for or expect before engaging to play with a domina?
That’s funny. I just published a post on this topic and then spotted this comment :-).
Frankly, I haven’t fully decided myself. I suspect I’m only going to be playing in Seattle over the Summer, and I typically only play with Savannah Sly in my home city. So I think it’ll really depend on what she thinks and how she wants to structure things. She has a pretty reduced group of people she plays with these days, and I’m pretty low risk, given I live alone and work from home. So maybe it’ll be fairly normal. Unfortunately I think the US has totally screwed up their response, so I would not be at all surprised cases spike up everywhere, which’ll throw a huge spanner in the works.
What was your and Estelle’s take on the situation?

In short: concern, uncertainty, wait and see.
Sounds about right. I think everyone is in that mode right now. Strange times.
