Different Strokes
February 16, 2010
It’s interesting to me the different tastes we all have. For instance, what one person finds a turn-on, to the next is a turn-off.
Some time back, I read with interest a list by Carly (Brambleberry Blush) of her likes and dislikes, or naughty versus nice.
Sweet lingerie– good. “Scanky” lingerie– bad. Paddles, belts, hairbrushes–good. Whips, canes, crops–bad. You get the idea.
Certain words totally do it for me. Others kill the mood instantly. This is the reason I don’t care for true erotica. As soon as I see those certain words on the page, I’m done.
But isn’t it interesting how we’re all so different? For instance, I love the word bottom but really could do without the word ass. The word beat conjures up all sorts of negative images, yet the word thrash pushes all sorts of buttons. Go figure! According to my thesaurus, they’re basically the same.
And although I agree with Carly about the lingerie and skanky costumes, I personally love the cane.
But I don’t care for any sort of whip– too dungeon like, for me. But certain crops are okay, although not a favorite implement of mine. Don’t like anything that leans too close to bdsm– no leather, no chains, no gags…
But tied wrists, as in this picture, I find way erotic.
So it leaves me wondering how two people find common ground? Do you let him use the whip because its his favorite toy? Do you agree to the favorite toy– which you detest– for discipline only? Or do you dig your heals in and refuse?
So many questions to consider!
