VERY WELL SAID! I couldn't agree more, being open and honest is always the best way to go! At least, it never worked for me any other way!
Society indeed has it's ways and means of not allowing you to express yourself, and indeed if your seen outward in anyway and afraid of repercussion such as name calling and the like, you are more than likely not to carry it over into a realtionship. I have found through a long and arduous process by my own default that if your like that then you're screwed.
You gotta do what you want to do. Tell people what you want, then at least they can come into your world with eyes open wide and a mind filled with the knowledge as to what you are about.
Life is short enough, what is the point of going through it unhappy?? I learnt this through so many events on my journey thus far. I dare say there is a lot more to go through but at least now I am starting to find people honest enough to ask and be open with myself.
Thoughts well thought again P. xx
The hardest part is learning to honest with yourself first. Acknowledging the fact that you do have certain desires is the first step. Very well written, Patrick.
Well done Patrick! I'm loving your BDSM Thoughts. 
Well written P, as always. Tack one of those P for pervert, scarlet letters on me. And i will be starting a recovering Catholic support group over at yahoo ~grins~ since my family seems to fancy themselves even more religious than the Vatican Council. As for revealing my black-sheep self to MJ, it was not easy, as i did so well after we were married. i tried to hide it from Him, and it just ended up in my being unfulfilled and He being bitter. Finally i took a jump and bought Him a book about SM, and to my delight, He is taking too it like a fish to water. Tada, we have reached marital bliss! LOL, or are getting closer anyway. i am going to be a blog robber and go write my own post on the subject, hope you don't mind P ~tossin you a kiss over her shoulder as she prances off~ take care
Well written, as usuall and so true Patrick, I fell into the trap of not wanting to tell him what I really wanted. My current partner knows what I want, lol....in some cases She tells me what I want. *smirks* either way because its out in the open it's great.
Great article, as always! You are a gifted writer indeed...
Society is indeed a interesting creature and I am studying it. I look at society as a closed door. Only some people have the courage to open the door and walk out into the world, past what's comfortable and accepted, into a world that can be a scarey albeit amazing place.
Patrick dear, you'll have an e-mail coming your way here shortly... otherwise, I'm always excited to see what you're going to write about next!
Excellent post, Patrick. I've been thinking about this for a while, and plan to comment on it myself soon. Oh, and don't forget that it's only 50 or so years since it was socially acceptable to put your wife over your knee if she got out of line - we're NOT very far from a society where that's deemed "normal".
I loved this post. Thank you for the link. I saw many things about myself as your wrote. Scary? yes!.
I think I am pretty open, I just seem to have met people who are not on my wave length. Maybe I am surfing the wrong wave here..lol
