Absolute and Total Power Exchange by midnight
Filed in: relationships, d/s, tpe
"Total Power Exchange" infers that every thought, deed and part of the partners' lives is affected by and reflects the absolute power exchange in their relationship, and the power exchanged is formidable; those in a TPE have spent a long time building up their strengths and dissolving weaknesses - power and independence have to be known before one can relinquish them or accept them from someone else, and benefit from the results. It takes determined characters to know exactly what you want out of such a relationship and build towards that.

Emotional Safety by Bluedeacon
Filed in: relationships, health and safety
One of the elements of a good relationship that many people either overlook or are unaware of, is emotional safety, what it entails, and how to create it. My hope here is to explore first what it is within a 'normal vanilla' relationship, and then to expand that to some possibilities within a bdsm relationship.
