The untruths hurt, sometimes.
Embarassing observations
Stories and pictures themed around female domination and male subjugation and servitude. Unsuitable for children, for alpha males, for hard-core practitioners with an interest in the politics of bdsm and the mechanics of complicated rope work. Of interest to perverts like me, basically.
Those vows of poverty, chastity and obedience are indeed the most important ones.
Of course, there are commitments on both sides. She has sworn to take responsibility for household management, financial arrangements and even – rather selflessly on her part, I thought – his behaviour. It’s going to be a lot of work but she has energy and determination, not just love and affection, which is so important for any marriage’s success (mutual respect, in contrast, being somewhat over-rated in my view: respect that goes only one way, but is sincere and profound, works just fine).
Many thanks for your comments, Diane.
