I agree that if you are within the bonds of marriage and you are involved in a relationship with someone else, it is infidelity. If you are in doubt, ask the other person in the relationship if he or she would consider it infidelity. What do you think the answer will be? Just as we seek safe, sane, and consenual activities, when within a marriage, the same should apply...especially consensual. Now, if you have the consent of your marriage partner and he or she can take it, I say more power to you all. However, I wonder how long this can last. Is it ok forever and ever, amen? Somehow, I just doubt it. When I was married, my husband was not a dominant. He could top, but he didn't enjoy it. We spent a lot of days, weeks, months and years discussing my needs, his needs, and how we could find fulfillment, be it togther or seperate. At that time, we decided I could seek bdsm outside of our marriage. Together we came up with one limit...vaginal intercourse...to be kept within the bonds of marriage. This worked for us for just over 10 years. Many times, he would even come to the dungeon and watch me play. Heck, he even acted as my safe call when I met doms! In all of it I was honest with him....for *me* it was the only way it could work. I took a big risk when I approached him with my desires....I was afraid he would think of the stereotypical BDSM....and he did. That is until I showed him writings, articles, my thoughts and others on what this lifestyle means....He came to understand we are no different really...simply wired different, perhaps with extra needs. His acceptance didn't take place overnight....but it did happen, with education and patience. Our marriage did *not* dissolve because of my bdsm...( nor will I go into the reasons for it) But even now he acts as my safe call sometimes, and has met many in the lifestyle who are still his friends.
