Courage is gritting one's teeth; it is simply doing that and pushing ahead, paying no attention to the circumstances. - Hagakure
(NSFW 18 and up only!!)
It is such an interesting word when you consider that as a verb it’s such a postive: To arouse the curiousity or interest of; fascinate.
As a noun however, quite the opposite: The secret planning of something illicit or detrimental to someone.
There is something to be learned from this.
If you were perfectly content with everything in your life you would soon find the monotony of satisfaction to be frustrating.
We all must always have things for which we strive.
you’re my prisoner, but
Your gaoler shall deliver you the keys
That lock up your restraint.
It can be the littlest thing that goes undone but not unnoticed, especially in a BDSM relationship.
Be diligent.
While subtle gestures of caring are always appreciated when noticed, one shouldn’t be afraid to express their feelings outloud.
If they’re true and genuine just the expression of them will be pleasing.
It is a manacle of love; I’ll place it
Upon this fairest prisoner.

How old are you?
The structure of anything is its support system allowing the thing to exist and stay in place. It is no different in a D/s relationship.
Provide a sturdy structure and you can build anything you wish around it.
It is very often the case, particularly in terms of BDSM, that what we fear is not the thing itself but rather the idea that we will be so drawn to something when it has been tried and the fear of not knowing has been removed.
Craving and fearing are two sides of the same coin and that is why being on the edge of that coin is so incredibly arousing.
