A study has finally revealed why men are more forgetful than women <br /> <br /> A study by Aston University has finally revealed why men are more forgetful than women<br /> <br /> By Nicola Harley <br /><br />12:27AM BST 30 May 2015 <br /><br /> <br /> Men forgetting to wash-up, putting the bin out and picking up their clothes might sound familiar to some women but scientists have discovered why. <br /><br />Research has revealed that men are not as good at remembering. <br /><br />A 100 men and women aged from 15 to 40 were given memory tasks over two minute periods, 15 minutes and 24 hours. <br /><br />Researcher Liana Palermo, of Birmingham’s Aston University, discovered that women were better than men at remembering to perform future tasks that were linked to events. <br /><br />Though both struggled to remember events in the distant future. <br /><br />Writing in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, Dr Palermo said: "The fact that in addition to work responsibilities, women also have more responsibilities at home. ... As a consequence of this social role, in daily life women might perform tasks involving prospective memory/planning skills more than men, thus enhancing their performance in remembering to remember." <br /><br /> She said examples may include a woman remembering to buy milk rather than the man. <br /><br /> Also gender differences due to hormones or brain structure may be a factor, she added, as the brain’s memory hub shrinks in men, but not in women, between the ages of 20 and 40. </div>

I have had people ask me why I haven't been to a munch yet, or gotten involved in the scene where I live.<br />
Part of the reason is that I'm an introvert. I actually enjoy being alone. I'm not in any rush to find someone to be in a relationship with. When it happens, it happens.<br />
Another reason is the way people treat each other on BDSM message boards, forums, etc. I constantly see more experienced people looking down their noses at "newbies" for asking what they consider a stupid question. I see people nitpicking at people's choice of words. I see people criticizing what the person has done (or not done) or asked, instead of actually answering their question. I see people treating inexperienced people as if they're stupid for not knowing everything there is to know about any particular subject.<br />
In general, I see the more experienced people sitting on their high horses, acting as if inexperienced people should be grateful that they're so much as acknowledging their existence.<br />
Gee, I can't imagine why I wouldn't want to be a part of that in real life.MorriganAradiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01808773054560242270noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204074465592321557.post-90282853151317048022012-09-05T04:39:00.000-05:002012-09-05T04:39:30.744-05:00Wholesale male chastity devicesI recently came across a wholesale website called <a href="http://www.dhgate.com/">DHgate.com</a> that has male <a href="http://www.dhgate.com/wholesale/male+chastity+device.html">chastity devices</a> (they sell other things, not just chastity devices), and they were amazingly cheap. I was very intrigued, but was also wondering if they're amazingly cheap because they're amazngly poor quality, or if they're cheap because it's wholesale.<br />
Has anybody ever bought a chastity device from this website? Can you tell me if they're good quality or not?<br />
<br />
I unfortunately don't currently have a submissive to lock up in a chastity device, but I'm keeping this site bookmarked so that when I do, I know where to get one.MorriganAradiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01808773054560242270noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204074465592321557.post-82898227016499496122012-07-21T03:17:00.000-05:002012-07-21T03:18:26.299-05:00Based on IQ tests, women are now officially smarter than men<blockquote class="tr_bq">
It’s official. Women are smarter than men. <br />
For the first time in history, western women are scoring higher than
men on IQ tests, according to Professor James Flynn, a widely recognized
authority on intelligence quotient testing. <br />
Both genders’ IQ scores have improved over the past century, yet
women’s scores typically lagged four or five points behind, Flynn told
the <i>Star</i>. <br />
But in the last few years, women’s scores have risen faster and
surpassed the men’s results by about one point, according to data Flynn
compiled from testing agencies and academics in Australia, New Zealand,
South Africa, Estonia, Argentina and Israel. <br />
“Where women had a full opportunity to embrace modernity, women now
either equal or slightly surpass men,” said Flynn, emeritus professor of
psychology and philosophy at New Zealand’s University of Otago. He
spoke to the Star by phone from Oxford, England. </blockquote>

<br />
I wouldn't get too excited just yet. The author of the study says that women's average IQ is one point higher than the men's average. One point really doesn't make any difference at all. If the study claimed that women's average IQ was 10+ points higher, then that would be something. Maybe if they revisit this subject in 10 - 15 years, that will be the case.MorriganAradiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01808773054560242270noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204074465592321557.post-6668765206910819392012-07-19T05:28:00.000-05:002012-07-19T05:28:46.580-05:00Ejaculation, prostate cancer and long-term chastityI'm sure you've all heard that ejaculation helps prevent prostate cancer. It was all over the news a few years ago (along with smirking male news anchors). Well, it turns out, it might not be true.<br />
<br />
In the article "<a href="http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/cupids-poisoned-arrow/201007/ejaculation-how-often-good-health">Ejaculation: How Often for Good Health?</a>" by <span class="submitted">Marnia Robinson on </span>Cupid's Poisoned Arrow, Marnia writes:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Curious, my husband and I began digging around for the answer. We
learned that the medical profession considers ejaculation frequency <em>irrelevant </em>as
far as prostate cancer rates are concerned. That's right, ejaculation
frequency is not a risk factor for the disease. Research studies on the
matter have gone both ways. The most recent study we saw found that men
who had masturbated very frequently had slightly higher rates of prostate cancer later in life."</blockquote>
<br />
She also writes: <br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Primates are a funny bunch. Even the sexy bonobos and their cousins the macaque monkeys frequently don't ejaculate
when they engage in sexual activity. It seems primates need sex for the
social bonds that soothe their brains—rather than mere ejaculation. In
fact, comforting contact may be even more vital for pair-bonding brains like ours. In any case, too much sexual stimulation can actually leave people less contented."</blockquote>
<br />
In the article, she also writes that a man's body will take care of its own needs via wet dreams. A urologist is quoted as saying whatever a man's rate of wet dreams is, that's how often he should ejaculate.<br />
<br />
A search for scholarly articles on Google Scholar has also turned up nothing confirming the myth that ejaculation prevents prostate cancer.<br />
<br />
I'm not at all surprised that this hasn't been covered in the news. I can only imagine how many women have been duped into getting their husband or boyfriend off more often, and when she doesn't particularly feel inclined, claiming that it's good for his prostate.<br />
<br />
So, if you're worried about keeping your man locked up in a chastity device long-term, or if you're a male who fears for his prostate if you're kept locked up, there's no need to worry.<br />MorriganAradiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01808773054560242270noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204074465592321557.post-9841227941063745442012-03-11T00:17:00.000-05:002012-03-11T00:17:10.709-05:00Thoughts on misogynyI just read a good article on misogyny titled "<a href="http://www.feministezine.com/feminist/malefeminism/The-Origins-Causes-of-Misogyny.html">The origins and causes of misogyny</a>".<br />
It states that basically, misogyny originates from bitterness due to being rejected sexually.<br />
I can't imagine anything more irrational and illogical. (And the stereotype is that men are more rational and logical than women. There goes that theory). Because not every woman you meet wants to fuck you, you hate all women? Hate the women who rejected you, fine, but hate all women because a few rejected you? How pathetic.<br />
I've been rejected by guys before. That doesn't mean I hate men. I'm intelligent enough to realize that not all men are the same.<br />
I don't even hate the guys who rejected me. I simply realized that either I wasn't their type, or they just didn't have romantic feelings for me. There's no reason to hate someone because they don't want to have sex with you. You can't expect every person you're attracted to to want to have sex with you. Neither are they obligated to have sex with you just because you're attracted to them.<br />
Hating all women because a few rejected you is pretty childish.<br />

The idea is that if a dominant starts out as a submissive, they can better understand what the experience is like for their submissive, which makes them a better dominant. Some dominants even seem to think it's a requirement before you can be a dominant.<br />
I think the whole notion is bullshit. This idea also has some arrogance behind it, because it seems to imply that the person supporting it thinks that everyone experiences things in exactly the same way they do, which of course is false.<br />
<br />
Men and women experience things differently. Even if you've had some submissive experiences, doesn't mean your experiences will be the same as his. (Or even hers, if you're a female dominant who likes female submissives).<br />
Not only that, but each individual submissive will experience things differently. You can do the exact same thing to 10 different submissives, and each of them will experience it differently. Having experienced it yourself will tell you absolutely nothing about your submissive's experience of it. Only they can tell you what the experience was like for them.<br />
<br />
Unless the dominant has rocks in their head, they'll understand why the submissive is enjoying what they're doing. You don't have to be whipped to understand that a masochist likes pain. You don' t have to be tied up to understand that some submissives like being tied up and feeling helpless. You don' t have to cross-dress to understand that some submissives like to cross-dress. And in fact, if none of these things are your kink, the experience will tell you absolutely nothing as far as what it's like for the submissives who do like it.<br />
<br />
If someone doesn't like chocolate, eating chocolate won't tell them why other people like it, or what it's like to like chocolate - because they don't like it! The same applies to starting out as a submissive in order to become a better dominant.MorriganAradiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01808773054560242270noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204074465592321557.post-76569331850247866482010-04-24T18:11:00.000-05:002010-04-24T18:11:05.763-05:00Some people don't have a sense of humourApparently, the fact that my post <a href="http://morriganaradia.blogspot.com/2010/04/y-chromosome-theory-why-women-are.html#links">The Y Chromosome Theory: Why women are better than men</a> was humour went right over some people's heads.

On the basis of recent research indicating that selected “big five” personality variables are related to expat assignment success, an expatriate composite score was computed-based on NEO personality inventory and Hogan personality inventory scale scores. Across these two personality instruments, four samples, and eight selection ratios, a greater proportion of women versus men are consistently “selected”. Statistical tests confirm that the use of personality criteria results in gender being significantly associated with selection outcomes. These results are consistent with arguments that women are dispositionally advantaged with respect to international assignments. These findings contrast sharply with extant evidence indicating that women hold relatively few expat positions.<br />

While it has been previously declared that what determines gender are the "X" and "Y" chromosomes found in male sperm, this is only partially true. As it turns out, the "Y" chromosome is, in fact, a defective "X" chromosome with one of the legs missing. At first this discovery baffled scientists, but further research has determined that this mysterious missing leg physically manifests itself on the outer body of a male, resulting in what is commonly known as a penis. It has also been determined that human intellect is stored in this part of the chromosome, resulting in the male of the species commonly using his penis (the physical manifestation of the missing part of the chromosome) to make many decisions.<br /><br />Once the genetic defect was discovered, scientists were determined to find out what other effects it may have on its victims. Unfortunately, since the penis, although technically part of the male DNA, is on the outside of the body, it deteriorates at the same rate and sometimes faster than the body of the male. This discovery led to scientists quickly finding a way to keep the penis (and thus, the male brain) functioning. The result is drugs for what is being called "erectile dysfunction." Another sign of the deterioration of the external part of the chromosome is what is widely referred to as a "mid-life crisis," during which a male will frequently search out younger women (even if he already has a perfectly lovely woman) and faster, phallic-shaped cars. He may sometimes quit a steady job and then attempt one strange get-rich-quick scheme after another, or, in extreme cases, use the time to "find himself." This is all in a subconscious effort to convince himself that he is a young, virile man; the reasoning being that if he believes it, his body will cease deteriorating.<br /><br /><br />Full article: <a href="http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/254228/the_y_chromosome_theory_why_women_are.html?cat=47">http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/254228/the_y_chromosome_theory_why_women_are.html?cat=47</a>MorriganAradiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01808773054560242270noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204074465592321557.post-19353281073749529232010-04-03T16:35:00.001-05:002010-04-03T16:37:39.788-05:00Women fight off disease better<p class="first"><b>Men really do have an excuse for supposedly being wimpy about coughs and colds - their immune systems are not as strong as women's, research suggests.</b></p><p>A Canadian study indicates that the female sex hormone oestrogen gives women's immune systems added bite at fighting off infection. </p><p>Oestrogen seems to counter an enzyme which blocks the inflammatory process. </p><p>The McGill University study appears in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. </p><p>The researchers focused on an enzyme called Caspase-12, which is known to put a brake on the inflammatory process, the body's first line of defence against harmful invaders such as bacteria and viruses. </p><p>They worked on mice that lacked the Caspase-12 gene, and were thus extremely resistant to infection. </p><p>The human Caspase-12 gene was implanted into a group of male and female mice, but only the males became more prone to infection. </p><p><br /></p><p>Full story here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/8047321.stm<br /></p>MorriganAradiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01808773054560242270noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204074465592321557.post-63618540361811633492010-04-03T16:24:00.000-05:002010-04-03T16:26:25.729-05:00Women manage money better than men can<div class="asset-meta"> <span class="byline"> March 11, 2010 1:38 PM<br /><br /></span> </div> <div class="asset-body"> <span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image"></span><b>It's official - women are best at handling the family purse strings, according to new research.<br /></b><br />The female of the species are better at budgeting and keeping track of their spending and are also less likely to build up debt on a credit card or through a loan, it emerged.<br /><br />Fewer women than men also turn a blind eye to their finances and ignore mounting debts, pay bills late or forget to pay them altogether.<br /><br />And they also make more of an attempt to chip away at debts while men prefer to make minimum payments.<br /><br />Maybe these superior budgeting skills somehow explain how they can usually afford a new pair of shoes. </div> A quarter of men polled admitted to regularly paying their credit card bills late, or even forgetting them altogether but women are much more organised with just 17 per cent making the same mistake.<br /><br />They were also more likely to take out a loan, with six out of ten applying for one compared to just five out of ten women.<br /><br />A spokesman for lovemoney.com, which carried out the study of 3,000 people, said: "For years, women have been thought of as the big spenders, splashing their cash on clothes and shoes.<br /><br />"But it seems men are gaining their own reputation when it comes to managing their finances while women are learning how to handle their money.<br /><br />"As more gadgets become available, guys are spending their hard-earned cash to keep up with their mates in the technology stakes, but it seems many are relying on credit to cover the costs."<br /><br /><br />Link: http://newslite.tv/2010/03/11/women-manage-money-better-than.htmlMorriganAradiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01808773054560242270noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204074465592321557.post-17004615590642589932009-08-08T14:30:00.002-05:002009-08-08T14:49:22.725-05:00It's been a long time(brushes the dust off her blog).<br /><br />I've been thinking lately about how men who wouldn't consider themselves submissive at all become very submissive and are happy doing anything to please their wives, once their wives decide to take control in their relationship. I find that very interesting. It makes me wonder if all men are submissive deep down inside, but just need it brought out of them.<br />I've read a lot of testimonials from men and women all over the net on sites like <a href="http://www.freewebs.com/ladymisato/">Real Women Don't Do Housework</a> and <a href="http://www.elisesutton.com/">Elise Sutton's Female Superiority site</a> saying that before when the man was in charge, neither of them were happy and they were drifting apart, but since the woman took control, both of them are a lot happier and closer than they've ever been. I can't help but think that there must be something more to it if a man who doesn't consider himself submissive in the least can be essentially turned into a slave. I can't help but think that the natural order is for women to be in control and for men to obey them. That there's some part of a man's psyche that yearns for him to be controlled by a woman, even if he doesn't realize it.<br /><br />It also makes me wonder if the divorce rate is so high because men and women are in relationships where the man is in charge and neither of them are happy. It makes me wonder... if every woman took control in every relationship, would the divorce rate be a lot lower? Maybe even nonexistent?<br />I've read a lot of testimonials that say that the wife taking control saved their marriage because they were otherwise heading for divorce.<br /><br />Another thing I find interesting is about male chastity. I've read from a lot of women who keep their men locked up in a chastity device (and the men who are locked in them) that the longer they're locked up, the more submissive and obedient they become, but once they're allowed to have an orgasm, for the next 1 or 2 days, they don't feel submissive at all. But then after a couple more days of being locked up, they're once again submissive and obedient. I find it very interesting that keeping a man locked up makes him <i>more</i> obedient, instead of pissed off and rebellious because he hasn't been allowed an orgasm.MorriganAradiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01808773054560242270noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204074465592321557.post-74552344818710264032007-08-19T02:35:00.000-05:002007-08-19T02:37:47.597-05:00Natural DominantThere are hundreds of articles and websites that talk about what makes someone a natural submissive or slave, but what makes someone a natural dominant?<br />I searched and couldn't find anything besides personal ads saying "I am a natural dominant", so give me your opinions.MorriganAradiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01808773054560242270noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204074465592321557.post-13609336355010564232007-04-12T04:14:00.000-05:002007-04-12T04:21:38.748-05:00More evidence of Female Superiority<a href="http://ec.europa.eu/research/infocentre/article_en.cfm?id=/research/headlines/news/article_07_03_22_en.html&item=Infocentre&artid=3614"><span style="font-size:130%;">Women are better friends than men, research shows</span></a><br />Contrary to what some people may think, it is women, not men, who are more likely to form long-lasting friendships. Sociologists from the Research Centre for Socio-Cultural Change at the University of Manchester conducted a study over a four-year period, and their findings suggest that men, on the one hand, are more fickle and calculating about who they should be friends with, while women, on the other hand, are steadfast in their approach to friendships: they support their friends not only during the good times, but also during the bad times.<br /><br />Dr Gindo Tampubolon, of the Centre for Socio-Cultural Change, said the findings also suggest that women typically socialise with women, and men with men. Data shows that 75% of best friends are with people from our own gender. "Friendship between women seems to be fundamentally different to friendship between men," explained Dr Tampubolon. "It's much deeper and more moral: it's about the relationship itself rather than what they can get out of it."According to the researcher, whether women friends live in the same city or are kilometres apart makes no difference. "Women tend to keep their friends through thick and thin across geography and social mobility," he said. The bottom line is that women see friendship as a means to "express themselves and form their identity," while men look at relationships in a self-seeking way, as in "what's in it for me," he said. The study also supports the view that men are likely to base their friendship on social drinking. There is a tendency for middle class people to socialise with people from different social circles, while working class individuals typically form relationships with their own kind, the data shows.Dr Tampubolon said, "The findings reflect our view that friendship is not a choice. We have contact with friends, family, neighbourhood and work which we are or are not able to turn into friendships." While middle class people are capable of expanding their friendships to comprise family and work, there are restrictions on working class people. "They are likely to form a best friend with another working class person," he explained.For Professor of Sociology Mike Savage, the findings "draw upon a tradition of inquiry known as Social Network Analysis (SNA), developed by Professor John Barnes who was based here at the Victoria University of Manchester in 1952-1953. SNA is able to analyse social structures using a series of algorithms and we wanted to explore its application in this area and others."<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.upi.com/NewsTrack/Science/2006/09/05/women_do_better_than_men_on_timed_tests/"><span style="font-size:130%;">Women do better than men on timed tests</span></a><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span>NASHVILLE, Sept 5 (UPI) -- U.S. research into the differences between male and female brains suggests women perform better than men on timed tests because they think faster.<br />In a study involving more than 8,000 U.S. males and females ranging in age from 2 to 90, Vanderbilt University researchers Stephen Camarata and Richard Woodcock discovered females have a significant advantage on timed tests and tasks -- especially among pre-teens and teens.<br />"We found very minor differences in overall intelligence, but if you look at the ability of someone to perform well in a timed situation, females have a big advantage," Camarata said. "It is very important for teachers to understand this difference in males and females when it comes to assigning work and structuring tests.<br />"To truly understand a person's overall ability, it is important to also look at performance in un-timed situations," he added. "For males, this means presenting them with material that is challenging and interesting, but (which is) presented in smaller chunks without strict time limits."<br />The research was published in the May-June issue of the journal Intelligence.MorriganAradiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01808773054560242270noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204074465592321557.post-79676328229276678602007-04-12T03:17:00.000-05:002007-04-12T03:32:16.026-05:00On April 10th, I got a message on Collarme.com from a male submissive, asking me how much experience I had with strapons, and if I had any pictures of my feet. I checked his profile, and it's empty except for some interests listed, one of which was foot worship.<br />I've been around long enough to know when a wannabe sub is just looking for jerkoff material, so I blocked him.<br />Later that day, I get another message from a male dom saying only: " honestly, what's wrong with you?" I wrote back and said "excuse me?" I thought it was some male dom who thinks that all women are submissive, and any who say they're dominant are just in denial. Or some SAM trying to draw me into an argument, which I wasn't going to let happen. I wasn't born yesterday.<br />He writes back and says "Yeah, what's wrong with you?A sub approaches You telling You he wishes to worships You like a Goddess, what You do next? Ignore and block him, how mean and sick is that?"<br />Mean and sick? Hardly. You approach a Female Dominant acting like a jackass like he did, and you expect anything different? He must be new, as his "male dom" persona says. (his nick has "newbie" in it).<br />So, of course I block the jackass again. I wonder if he'll make a new profile and message me again.<br /><br />I'm not sure what's worse. This guy, or the male subs who can't handle it when you politely say you're not interested, and just have to write you saying that you might be making the biggest mistake of your life, and that he could have been "the one" but now you'll never know. I always lose <em>so much</em> sleep over it when a male sub says that to me. He could have been <strong>The One</strong>, but now I'll<em><strong> never know!</strong></em>MorriganAradiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01808773054560242270noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204074465592321557.post-13960263850341095952007-01-18T21:07:00.001-05:002007-01-18T21:11:43.202-05:00I was recently talking to a male "submissive" online for a couple of days. We talked through collarme.com and email. Then, two nights ago, he messaged me on MSN messenger. We talked on Tuesday night and last night. Last night while we were talking, he, out of nowhere, asked me to call him on the phone. I said I didn't want to yet, since we had only known each other for a few days. I said I wanted to get to know him better first. He started asking me why I didn't want to, and saying he didn't get it.<br />Now, there's a little bit of background info that should go in here. My last boyfriend was like this - pushy, demanding, didn't care about my personal boundaries. All he cared about was what was in it for him. He didn't care about my feelings, or what I did or didn't want. When this "submissive" started acting this way, red flags and sirens went off. I recognized the behaviour immediately.<br />The conversation went silent for a couple of minutes, and then he said "Is there anything you want to know?" (In the interest of getting to know him better so we could talk on the phone). I said "actually, I don't think there's anything else I want to know." Then, he called me a phoney, so I blocked him on MSN. A few minutes later, I got an email from him on hotmail, saying that I was a phoney and I would never get a slave like him. Pfft. I don't want a "slave" like him.<br />I just love how my not giving in to his pushy demands makes me a phoney.MorriganAradiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01808773054560242270noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204074465592321557.post-84238023430472638882006-12-15T04:34:00.001-05:002015-02-15T06:06:52.302-05:00Female SuperiorityFor years now, I've been hearing from many different sources about different things that Females are better at than males. Each on their own probably doesn't mean much, but when you put them all together, they equal Female Superiority.<br />
Unlike the idea of male superiority, which is based on the fact that males have a penis, and has no evidence to back it up, Female Superiority has a lot of evidence to back it up. As far as I'm concerned, it's a fact.<br />
Here is the evidence I've collected so far:<br />

I put "involved" in quotes because most of my involvement has been online. I did have some mild bondage experiences with my first boyfriend - We tied each other up during sex. I found that I liked tying him up a lot more than I liked being tied up. The power of having him at my mercy while I did things to him was intoxicating.<br />I've read books, websites, talked to people, I've even had an online slave once. But so far, it's only been online. I still haven't managed to find a slave in real life, despite having had ads on numerous BDSM personals websites. In my experience, most of the guys on those sites claiming to be submissive are just looking for kinky sex, not a Mistress/slave relationship, or even a remotely D/s relationship. One guy even messaged me and said he was looking for someone to cheat on his girlfriend discreetly behind her back with.<br />So, I keep looking. Not finding a whole lot, but I keep looking nonetheless.<br />I was recently talking to a submissive on <a href="http://www.collarme.com/">Collarme</a>. It seemed to be going well for a while, and then out of the blue - nothing. I haven't heard from him now for about 2 or 3 weeks. I'm not sure what happened. I guess maybe I said something he didn't like. Oh well, his loss. I continue looking, and talking to other submissives on Collarme.MorriganAradiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01808773054560242270noreply@blogger.com5
