ORIGINAL: LotusSong Sometimes I don't think it's a good thing. Have you insisted your partner (slave/or dom/mme) tell you the ABSOLUTE truth about something and they did.. and you wish you never asked because of what you were told? Now I'm not talking about a relationship issue.. I mean. like "what actually did you DO at the strip club" I've learned.. some things just don't NEED to be known. I disagree, whole-heartedly. I have found that, for me, total honesty is the only way to go. True enough, I'm also polyamorous, which demands that I be rigorously honest with my partner but, even before that. I learned, a long time ago that people may feel badly, when I tell them the truth but, they feel violated, when I don't. Some people feel the need to employ degrees of honesty but, I believe that we can be honest without hurting some un-necessarily. One of my favorite quotes: "Honesty without compassion is brutality." I don't need to tell her that her dress is ugly. When she asks: "Does this dress make me look fat?" I can say: "You know what? It's not your best look. I think the blue one is much more flattering." There's no dishonesty and I haven't been a brutal prick. All I know is: I demand and I give absolute honesty. There's no other way for me. Peace and comfort, Michael
