Sometimes I wish that we could stand up and admit to our way of life. I wish that we could say, "Yes, I like to be spanked."
Or we could proudly announce, "My man is completely alpha and I love it!"
I wish that people could admit, "Nothing is sexier than having a strong man be in charge of my heart. Be in charge of my body, and be in charge of my soul."
I wish that we could declare our love for the submissive and the dominant. We could declare the love for the dynamic of true passion.
I wish...
Yet, we hide. We hide in fear of the judgment. We hide in fear of the negative. We hide....

So stop hiding and be who you are. Let others judge you, but be confident.
I find that the less we hide, the more people come forth to declare their desires. I think the success of certain books has shown that, writing skills notwithstanding, the idea of the dominant male is more in vogue and desirable than anyone ever believed. Stand up for what you want, or you'll get less than you deserve.
Keep writing. Keep being you! Your words will inspire others not to hide behind the doors that society closes on their lives. Instead, they will break the door down, smash the lock, and declare their sexuality as *theirs*.
My sexuality is mine to judge, mine to hold, mine to explore. If people have a problem with that, then they suck. Period.
I agree and I find it particularly ironic since it seems that everyone is reading 50 Shades of Grey and raving about it, when many of us have known about such things for years.
I'd hide with you. :)
Alta,
I can't believe no one has commented so I will:). Recently I shared with a real life friend about TTWD and it turned out not to be a good thing. She wrote me an email about her concern for me.
Which was nice, but not an acurate picture of things. Anyway, it has made me leery to discuss TTWD. So, I echo your sentiments in that I wish we could say "Yes, I like to be spanked". Always love to read your posts and love the picturs you select, too.
Wow! Such great comments everyone. I love hearing from all of you!
If I could add another comment without hogging the discussion...As a writer, there is a certain amount of freedom in anonymity and that's even sort of fun. Sometimes when I'm doing something ordinary, like chatting w/someone I know at the grocery store, I think "Woulnd't she just crap her pants if she knew about the stories I write?" and it makes me feel a little extra naughty. :)
Because the real world is not as easy or as black and white as the lovely stories you write. Because real women have been abused and marginalized by "alpha" men who don't have a clue what it really means to lead a relationship. Because women finally do have freedom to be however and whoever they want to be, but for some of us to admit that what we really want is to be submissive feels like a giant leap backwards. Because there are still plenty of neanderthalls out there who believe that women are "supposed" to be submissive.
But, yeah, I wish the world was smart enough to realize that a woman saying "I want an alpha man" does not mean that she wants to turn the clock back to the days when women were not taken seriously in the professional or political world.
