So I was talking to someone about BDS&M stuff the other day... actually mostly just about bondage. And at some point I said that I think most people are a little bit attracted (or turned on, more like) to a small amount of it. Not necessarily in a way that would be expressed regularly, but just kind of in the back of the mind.

Anyway, talking to tanaise about it, she said this... "And I think that probably everyone has a little S/M side to themselves because everyone simultaneously wants completely control of their lives and total bossing about by someone else." And I think she makes a valid point...

It's like a couple of days ago with Miss Vorpal Hair. She demanded that I get some work done before tomorrow, despite its relative unimportance. It wasn't the unimportance that bothered me -- it was the demand.

I don't mind being taught, or shown a better way, or even asked to do stuff. But if someone demands something from me willy-nilly, I tend to balk in a big way. (The bedroom screams of "fawk me now!", "get down there!", etc., are the exception, of course. :))

I wouldn't worry about the mellowness too much -- I'm far too mellow generally speaking, and yet this is a part of me.
