Happy Belated Wednesday

It's molting time, Gemini. If you were a bird, you'd lose your worn-out feathers and sprout a fresh batch. If you were a snake, you'd shed your old skin to make way for the new. If you were a lobster, you'd slough off your exoskeleton because it was constraining your ability to grow, then replace it with a bigger version. So what's your personal version of molting? Maybe some aspect of your persona needs to be cast off. Or maybe some armor that previously shielded you has begun to cramp your style. It won't happen overnight, and you'll feel vulnerable during the transition. But the process is perfectly normal; indeed, it's essential for your health.

On that note, does anybody want some lightly-used bondage equipment? No, no, not all of it. For starters, some of it doesn't qualify as "lightly used". There are just a couple of specific bits I'm getting rid of. Oh, plus an ugly, massive, hand-carved chair :-)

Oy. I need to clear out the shed now that my room's done. Unemployment has been good for getting rid of needless junk.

Does that include the leather comfortor? What are you looking to get rid of?

Not getting rid of the leather comforter. I retain my existing mental paralysis regarding it ("can't use it, can't get it dirty, can't give it away, there's nothing to do with it, argh!").

Getting rid of an egg vibrator with variable control, two collar-type things, and something that bills itself as a hogtie restraint -- though it'd be a fairly awkward one unless the person you're restraining has very small wrists and ankles, which is why I'm getting rid of it. It's a loop of nylon webbing with four partial cuffs on it. Each is basically a fold of leather with faux-fur padding inside, and is probably two-thirds the circumference of an average wrist. So a person with normal-diameter wrists would have two-thirds contact with padded surfaces, and one-third with bare nylon webbing.

Color me interested (except for the tiny-wrist thing). :-)

I've got fairly small wrist and ankles. Very interested party right here. I'll pay for shipping if you are willing to just send it.

You haven't taken a good look at my wrists have ya honey?

[angelbob.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm also getting rid of it because I have other restraints that do the same job better. I hadn't realized I was frustrating a desire on your part to have me hogtie you, but don't worry -- I'm still quite thoroughly equipped to.

Oh good, lord forbid I should loose my chance to experience being Hogtied. I mean how many "sweet and supportive and dominant and sadistic" (boot_slut, 2004) men do I know?

[angelbob.livejournal.com]

Well, again, I didn't figure I was frustrating any particular desire on your part -- which is one reason I didn't bother to think about your wrist and ankle diameter before getting rid of a hogtie restraint... Which was, y'know, your original complaint :-P

So yeah, it's not that I'm unaware of your wrist and ankle diameter, it's just that that's not a major concern when it comes to keeping that particular object. I have other, better objects, and I didn't figure you were just itchin' to be hogtied. And yes, you know plenty of other such men that would cheerfully do the same thing for you anyway.

[angelbob.livejournal.com]

We'll compromise -- I'll color you interested, but use different restraints :-P

[japlady.livejournal.com]

Ok, point taken... And jee, your no fun!

But how many of them do I currently trust enough to ALLOW them to do that to me, in particular on my virgin run when I'm not even sure I do want it? This is not so much a particular itch that has to be scratched as an exploration of the unknown on my part, and a willingness to accept that this may be a developed taste ... Which is why I'm going to the 'training session' next month....

So, either of the B's perhaps, but neither has shown any such inclinations, nor am I all that sure they are even into that (one for sure isn't and definitly not with me, the other... yet to be seen but it doesn't seem his style, correct me if you know different). So which other such men were you thinking of?

While I too can think of any number of men that happily would -- heck, princeofwands has already "volenteered for hazardous duty, sir!" (although I'm not sure if he's into hogting) and teamnoir would I'm sure be more than willing .... the big thing is I have to trust them enough to let them.... and as of right now your the only truely kinky person I know who I would trust enough to even try going there with... All your own fault you know, you've just been too G-d damned supportive.

[coyotegrrrl.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a plan!

[angelbob.livejournal.com]

And jee, your no fun!

*pout* Okay, maybe I *will* hogtie you.

:-P

I was thinking of R. Don't specifically know about B's inclinations (neither one). Or possibly princeofwands. Or people I don't actually know such as teamnoir. You were bragging just a few posts ago about how many dominant, supportive, etc men you know :-)

and as of right now your the only truely kinky person I know who I would trust enough to even try going there with... All your own fault you know, you've just been too G-d damned supportive.

Awww... *blush*

Go back and re-read that... maybe it was the Yiddish phrasing that confused you.... the comment was: "how many "sweet and supportive and dominant and sadistic" ([info]boot_slut, 2004) men do I know?"

Point being, NOT MANY, as in ONE, as in YOU!!!

hell, even boot_slut goes on and on about what a rare commodity you are, and she's got a much better handle on the breath and depth of the kinky community than, I can honestly say, I would ever HOPE to have.

As to R.... well thats a thought. But he and I have drifted apart recently due to lack of contact, and as long as he and B are rocky I just ain't going there. I mean, if I hook with you, and then with R.... next thing you know I'll be working my way through all of B's guys.
