The balance of power exchange and romance...

Dating Kinky

Today's writing and my Throwback Thursday podcast and LIVE are on the same topics. I'll go live at 1pm today on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and mōn, talking about shaping our lives through power exchange and romance and how challenging finding (MAKING) that balance is.

In the "My Power, Your Power" event we held last year, I was part of a discussion about mixing power exchange and sex. I was one of two for. There were two against.
This past weekend, I had the opportunity to attend a class presented by Master Taino (@MasterTaino on FetLife). The ABCs of M/s.
And he said something that really meshed with some thoughts I've been having, and made me think that power exchange and sex was not the real thing we were discussing, but instead power exchange and romance.
Master Taino said (and I'm paraphrasing) that when you have power exchange relationship with romance, you actually have two relationships:
- Power exchange dynamic
- Romantic
And that when there is romance and power exchange, the power exchange is the most likely to slide.
Which I've noticed over the years.
