Knewly knewd and Knowed

AI art by me. I wanted an excuse to show off this creation. Ain’t she lovely?

I’m Okay, You’re Okay

I was going to start writing a new storyline or something when I looked and saw my last post was my rather morose poem. Someone recently tole md, intelligent kinksters feel things much more than others do because we get into the why we feel it, when do we feel it, how do we feel it questions. A consequence of this is my lows tend to get rather low. They don’t happen often but they do happen.

You know what was nice? This time I didn’t have to do it on my own. I wrote about it and lots of lovely people responded to it and I knew, once more, I am not alone and never was alone. To be clear, I’m fine. I will work on picking at old emotional scabs which is what prompted this last poem.

The Faithful and Silent Ones

Just wanted to give a shout out of thanks to a handful of faithful readers out there who I can always count on to come, read, and like. They are silent readers that don’t comment but I don’t want to call them lurkers because that sounds weird or bad. I’ll admit there are a couple of you I’d pay good money to know more about (no, that wasn’t an offer). I’m cool with it since I see your likes on other blogs I follow and you’re just as quiet there.

Some of you have been as ardent a fan as to go through and nearly read very post I have done. Thanks to Tipacanoe and jamesxmorgan for this achievenment. I’ll bad adding James’s blog link to the Reading Room later today.

I’m Actually Going to Do It!

I am tempted to lie and make it sound like I’ve been to Fet functions and Kink Conventions galore, but we don’t lie here to each other. Not cool. They are actually going to have a kink get-together in my area! I am actually going to go. Technically, I’ll have to tell them I’m new but…really? Am I? I suppose to this kind of venue, yes.

It will be on May 4th (May the Fourth Be With You) so it isn’t for a couple of weeks but I knew if I told you I was going then it is one more push to get me to go! It’s at a bar but I plan to tell them it’s a medical issue that I can’t drink alcohol. (it’s a choice). There will be door prizes, and sounds fun. It’s a fundraiser for this local group. If you think you know where I am going and what it is then feel free to let me know in comments or email (zzgreymanzz@gmail.com).

So…we’re all cool now, right? See ya in the posts.

  1. It’s good to feel – even if it feels uncomfortable it can fuel creativity as you have shown. Better to feel better though so happy to hear that.

    1. Agreed

  2. That’s exciting news!

    Sounds fun, Jon! Please don’t feel ashamed to say that you are new. If and when I ever go to an in-person kink event, I will definitely share that I am “new” to in-person. Online/long-distance experience in D/s dynamics is real, but different in some ways. Also, no need to lie about not drinking. Not drinking is cool these days, at least, that’s what the kids tell me. Honestly, as a submissive, I wouldn’t feel comfortable doing a scene with someone brand new to me if they had been drinking. I would rather be with someone who was fully present in the moment with me. I am really looking forward to hearing about your experiences! I hope you have a blast 🙂

    1. Thanks, nora. I won’t be ashamed. Geez, I even have volunteered to be a volunteer for the event now. You know me, dive in with both feet, right? What better way to get to know the crowd? We have a volunteers meeting this Sunday…I’ll be sure and report.

        Yay! I love that. This will definitely help you to make more connections😊

      2. Oh, question…should I tell them my real name or my lifestyle name? My gut feel is to go with my lifestyle name.

        Honestly, I’m not sure I am fit to advise you on this, Jon. I’ve often wondered what I would do, should I attend a kink event. I tend to be very guarded and have only shared my true identity with a handful of people in the lifestyle. If you are meeting people in person and starting to socialize with them, it may be easier to just be your authentic self, and embrace this part of yourself. Though, another way to handle the first meeting, may be to introduce yourself in this way, “Hi, at lifestyle events, I choose to go by Jon”, which alerts others to this not being your real name but your chosen name. That way, anyone that you form a deeper connection with, will not be surprised later when you share your real name. I will look forward to your posts after you’ve attended, and hearing about how it went and how you handled these various details. I am proud of you for stepping out of your comfort zone and into the life that you want.

      4. Yeah, I’ll just say I go by Jon. Thanks, nora XOXO
