The only highlight has been my introduction to a lovely new granddaughter that arrived just before Christmas, and while we were Euro-side. Having met her, we'd be more than happy to move on to our next holiday.... but, alas..... that won't be for a while. Work and clients are in our face, and we are in no mood to get out and socialize. So it's been a weekend at home, with the typical visits with aging Moms thrown in.
Fortunately, we were able to put aside all of our familial duties by around 3:30 pm yesterday, giving us time for a late afternoon nap on a rainy Saturday, and a nice "2-a-day" session in the sack before dinner time. It seems that jet lag has not interfered with the mechanics of copulation!
Mistress may be stopping over at her lover Jay's house this afternoon, while slave watches what will likely be another early exit from the NFL play-offs by our Pussycats who never seem to get over the hump in the post-season. But since his son will likely be home, she may have to defer her Jay "fix" until later in the week.
Poor girl.
A hard cock and body deferred is a hard cock and body denied!
But despite my whining, we're doing well here at the UCTMW World HQ, and maybe it's because those of us who dabble in BDSM have an edge when it comes to mental health. At least that's what a recent study that Mistress pointed out to me reports. (Here is the link to the article in the Huffington Post. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/05/bdsm-better-mental-health-study_n_3390676.html)
The study, which was published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine in May, surveyed 902 people who practice BDSM and 434 people who prefer so-called "vanilla" (non-kinky) sex. Each person filled out questionnaires regarding their personalities, general well-being, sensitivity to rejection and style of attachment in relationships. The participants were not aware of the purpose of the study.
Despite past assumptions that BDSM proclivities might be correlated with previous abuse, rape or mental disorders (research has shown that they're not), this survey found that kinky people actually scored better on many indicators of mental health than those who didn't practice BDSM, reported LiveScience. According to Reuters, BDSM-friendly participants were found to be less neurotic, more open, more aware of and sensitive to rejection, more secure in their relationships and have better overall well-being.
Andreas Wismeijer, a psychologist at Nyenrode Business University in the Netherlands and the lead author on the study, told LiveScience that people involved in the BDSM community may have scored better on these surveys because they tend to be more aware of and communicative about their sexual desires, or because they have done some "hard psychological work" to accept and live with sexual needs that are beyond the scope of what is often considered socially acceptable to discuss in the mainstream.
But feel free to share any insights you may have on why those of us into BDSM may have sunnier lives than all those vanillas out there.
e much needed worship is in order.
And to the extent that more sex makes one more happy, well I suspect we certainly have a whole lot more than the "typical" old married couple.
If anything, worrying about whether Mistress wants me to wear the cock cage to work on a Monday morning is a much more "first world" problem than a lot of my colleagues have when they confront a new work week, isn't it?
But feel free to share any insights you may have on why those of us into BDSM may have sunnier lives than all those vanillas out there.
