Rumi said, “In my mind, I was denying any responsibility for submitting to you. By holding on to an image of you forcing me to stop, I denied myself the pleasure of obeying simply because you asked me to. Will I ever overcome this resistance?

Yes, you will. You’re learning more about yourself all the time, aren’t you?

I am loving watching all of you, seeing how you have changed. It’s so interesting to watch this from hundreds to thousands of miles away.

Dear Lady Julia, I think I may have just actually learned something! I described the feeling of “someone” pulling my bound hands away from my erotic pursuit, then releasing me to resume. In my mind, I was denying any responsibility for submitting to you. By holding on to an image of you forcing me to stop, I denied myself the pleasure of obeying simply because you asked me to. Will I ever overcome this resistance?

Please allow me to continue on this journey with you for one more day. Far from having any ill effect on my daily life and relationships, what I have learned through your guidance seems to have enriched my devotion and love for my own Lady.

Sweetly intoxicating… yes, I like that too :)

Symbolic things, like the wrists being symbolically bound, can be very powerful, can’t they? I sometimes wonder if they can’t be more so, because the Lady doesn’t force you to stop. You stopped because she (I) asked.

Today is day 15 of my experience.

I am feeling well and would like to continue through this weekend with your permission.

Last night was sweet. Very intense. I am still smiling.

Obediently,

Mike

Touching with wrists bound was a brand new thrill for me that at first seemed pointless: I always thought of cuffs as a way to prevent me from touching, and have often secured my wrists behind the chair while watching my favorite videos, which are solo striptease. Pointless until I got to the edge the first time and paused, and vividly imagined that someone had just tugged on a rope attached to the robe sash around my wrists, pulling my hands away and up to my chest. There I sat, watching the video for a few minutes in the “begging dog” position! At some point I felt the tension relax, and my hands went back to continue their favorite activity. When I got to the edge the second time I again felt the tug of the rope, and an odd sense of relief. I say odd because I don’t think I have ever gone to the edge and stopped before, at least not because someone told me to!! Well, at least not since I found the Silken Tease. I want to talk some more about this feeling, but must hit the ground and go to work. Thanks again, Lady, for allowing me to jump in at this late date.

I’m sorry to hear of your difficulties and very glad to hear your Lady is better :)

I will reply to all the other recent comments tomorrow. You’re all doing great :)

Lace and cowboy boots. It does not get any better than that.

Very nice picture.
