The Next Chapter in Our D/s

Where We Are Now

I have sat here this evening, for the last few hours contemplating very carefully where cleo and I are at within our D/s. We have spoken several times recently as she continues to recover from the stroke, about regaining some of the true essence of our personal D/s which, by force of circumstance we had lost this past year or so.

The last few days cleo has been pushing more and more against the sub/slave thing, in a sense testing me, but also telling me that she may be ready now. I believe that the time has come. We are at a position where we could take either of two routes in our lives from here on. The first would simply be to continue as we are, doing the things we do, and simply being cleo and MG, but without too many sparks. If we choose that option I am sure we would be happy, but I am convinced that neither of us would ever be completely fulfilled: we may be happy but not fulfilled. Our needs will never be quenched, and the fact that we agreed to live as Master and slave will take more and more of a back seat.

The fact is that when cleo signed the slave contract with me she agreed to let me decide upon the course which our lives would follow: I accepted the responsibility to always act in her best interests, and up to now since the stroke those best interests have been served by leading a more vanilla lifestyle than a D/s one. There are many factors which have contributed to that decision; for example, for several months after coming out of the hospital she was emotionally quite brittle, and physically quite fragile in many ways too. Spanking, cropping and other forms of physical play were more often than not out of the question, as the results would likely have been pain and anguish rather than pain and pleasure.

Where We Are Going

Just this last few days i can see a change in her, and so, the decision is made: our D/s will now come to the fore again. Of course there are still some things where she is challenged, but i am convinced that with time and a vision of where we are going, they will be overcome, in ways we may not even know yet, but overcome they will be.

It is my intention that we will use the time we have to interact better with each other, and to further extend our D/s within the lifestyle circles that as yet we have not moved within.

I will push cleo from now on, she will accept this course as the choice, and the decision of her Master. Having said that I know that this is the right choice for both of us, and no doubt I will have more to say on this subject as we move forward in the next days, weeks and months.

Catching up....

Well...its been some time since I looked at the Seekers weblog, and much has happened since I last posted in 2005. Let me explain.

In November 2005 my cleo had a stroke. In 5 seconds both our lives were totally turned upside down. All the hopes and dreams we had were gone, and for a few awful moments I thought I was going to have to live without her....all that has been recorded in a blog which I wrote from that day, which, if anyone is interested can be found here .

So, with all that written to cover the last year or more, I have decided that I should return to my blog here, and a more D/s based view, as cleo and I try to return to some kind of more active D/s life. Much remains the same, but there is much that is different also, in that our relationship, as a result of her stroke and subsequent physical challenges has meant that we are less able to be physical, necessitating a need to try and create more of a mental Master/slave bond between us. More of that later....

D/s Seekers Website

The seekers website continues to gain in strength and popularity, and recently achieved the massive milestone of over 100,000 hits since its inception. We are truly proud of what we have created and while we have not had much chance to add new content these last few months I intend very much to start writing articles again, and seeking out new and interesting pieces for inclusion. For those who do not know the website it can be found here. It is our labour of love that we have created over some five years, but is seen by many as a useful resource for things D/s and BDSM.

So, thats where we are, i am already working on some new articles and i shall add them here as well as on Seekers site, but in here too you will find thoughts and observations about D/s, the lifestyle in general and anything else which takes my fancy along the way....
