Last weekend was spent in San Francisco, I had a wonderful time both in the Passionate Bonds Intensive and seeing friends while exploring the city. I’m extremely happy that I made the trip down and it was worth every penny. The description from Midori website can be found on her website.
The description alone intrigued me but once I heard Dart’s Domain podcast, where he interviewed Midori and Laura Antoniou I was sold. I talked to PG and unfortunately he wasn’t able to make it but we realized it would benefit our relationship and my future ones if I went. I booked my ticket, hotel and made arrangements.
The weekend was full of learning new tools and skills, tough and challenging discussion and lots of work. It was a weekend of growth and knowledge for my relationship with PG, myself and for entering and negotiating a future D/s relationship whether it’s for a weekend or long-term. It allowed me to define what I value, need and contribute and to put it on paper and examine it.
I’ve always know I was different and that my relationship with PG is unique. We don’t want to and can’t follow the “popular” protocols and the ways of acting. I love being bratty sometimes and play fighting which isn’t the way a “true submissive” acts or so I’ve been told. I also love serving him and being obedient, which isn’t that common to mix them both in. We needed to create our own protocols and coming to this weekend has given us the chance to start fresh and make sure the protocols we create work for us and produce that goofy smile. We created a unique mission statement for our relationship and all the protocols should serve that. I love the idea of having a mission statement and to review all these frequently. We have set up some protocols and started using them. Once we are confident in those, we want to create more. Our connect and desire is stronger. I’m considering making our own personal book with photos and text that would include our protocols, mission statement and transitional plans. We could print a new copy every year after reviewing it and updating it.
My fellow participates were incredible, thank you! They opened up, shared and were great people to be around. I enjoyed working with them and being with them for this journey. Parts of the workshop were really hard. PG and I have already discussed what was to happen in case one of us died so when that discussion came up, I was prepared and ready to talk about it. It wasn’t as much of a shock talking about it as the first time we did. I still remember how upset and how many tears came out of me with just the thought. It makes it easier to talk about it in advance but it’s an incredibly hard process. We first talked about it over two years ago due to our age difference and my near death experiences.
There was so much that we learned that this post could have been thousands of words however I would encourage you to go if they have another one. It’s for anyone who doesn’t want protocols just handed to them from a website, who appreciates and cherishes uniqueness and who wants an authentic, quality and hot D/s relationship. Oh and the connection, sex and play has increased when I already thought it was at the peak.
Thank you Laura and Midori for doing this intensive and asking those pesky questions. You gave us all something that we need and thank you for sharing your skills, knowledge and yourselves.
we contacted the maker and started the process. We were sent kits to make a mold out of our fingerprints and sent them back. After waiting for a bit, we got the necklace back. We were intending on waiting till our anniversary before putting it on me but were debating about him giving it to me sooner. We both missed the feeling of me wearing one and the connection when we are apart.
