ORIGINAL: zakkan Perhaps I'm still not old enough to ask this, but what will happen to your D/s relationship when you're like, 70 years old? Most people here seem to be in their 30s and 40s, and many have happy and fufilling relationships. Barring any incidents, accidents, break-ups, and so on, how do you think your relationship will develop 20, 30 years later? Or is there a certain age where both parties will decide to end it? No matter what, it probably won't be as intense as it is right now. This has been on my mind for a while, and I will appreciate comments. I am 53 years old. I enjoy wielding a flogger and a belt and a paddle as much as I did when I started 10 years ago. I can still dry a straight or a curved line with a pinwheel and I can still wax pretty pictures with the candles. There are so many aspects of BDSM that will stay long after some of the more intense, physical things can no longer be done by myself...at least not without some recovery time. But the D/s? The mental and emotional aspects of control and domination over the one who serves me at that time? Hopefully, I will have interwoven that along with the loving relationship I want to have so that the D/s never gets in the way of the love and the love never gets in the way of the D/s, they just each fill their place in the way that they should. I hope I retain those skills but there again, I hope to retain most, if not all, of my mental and emotional and spiritual faculties. I would hope that, as time goes on, that the love I share with my sweet one will be so interwoven with the D/s that one never gets in the way of the other but instead, lifts each other up. I would hope that if I die in the next two years or when I am 90, that the dominance I have given that has been good will be retained within a warm memory and the bad will be, if not forgotten, set aside. Just as the love I have given that has been good will be retained and the love that was distorted by bad things I did, they did, we all did will be set aside. We can't know all that life will bring us but we do know it will bring us this...an end to life as we know it. But I know and I believe that the love I have been lucky enough to have shared in will build my heart when loved ones depart and I hope they know that it will strengthen me rather than take away just because they are gone.
