HA! I bet ya' thought it was some new trendy pervy thing. :p


Anyway now that you are here... do you pine?
I do...too much sometimes and mostly for the wrong reasons.
Or maybe because I'm a masochist?
How about you?
 
I do, especially when I am away from her.

Yes, I do pine... a lot. I'm not sure if pining is a good thing or not, but I know I pine for Master when he is away too long...

If I answer yes for the Fjords and I am not Norwegian or Blue your going to get mad at me right ?

Actually on a more serious note . I have. Sometimes its good old fashioned pining and other times I think a slight version of sub frenzy providing that which your pining for is your Dominant .

I did a whole lovely 6 months of pining once , accompanied by tears , nausea and that which follows. Its not good for your health long term in my opinion.

A few cures as I know myself

a) good reality check that what your pining for is realistic, followed by what ever course of action is going to be best
b) distraction/change of routine and exercise
c) making sure your Dominant is aware, communicating clearly that said 'pining' is taking place and ask for his thoughts on the issue

Softer versions of pining generally are symptoms of lurvvvvvvve. Anything you need to share Miss KC....... :D I would agree that also in this 'softer' version there is a small feed into masochism , its not going to stop there however. Next step is challenging yourself for being weak blah... blah....Next thing your 'topping' yourself in the self torment stakes........semi laughs

Might I just add when I read the definition I am more likely to think "something unattainable ' is currently unattainable , not that the one suffering is delusional but rather anticipating some aspect projected into the future from previous experience and or expectations. Clear as mud huh.........smiles

I do. When K was gone I had to force myself to eat, to bathe myself, etc. It was a matter of 'who cares?' I barely slept, I didn't put any effort into meals, etc. I made myself go throught he motions cause the kids needed a parent, but I really struggled to see the point.
 
Yes I pine. I pine for April 25th before 7:30 pm.

I can't pine for a man at this point. I have more important issues to deal with.
 
Can someone pine to be played with or played on?? If so I will most likely suffer this alot, but not tonight got a good flogging to sate me for a time.
 
I always pine over people. Probably because I let myself get too emotionally attached sometimes .. and I have to kind of pry myself away for a while.

I think I depend on others too much .. and I'm thinking it's about time that changed. *shrug*

Pining is such a typical thing for people to do. You just have to learn to function normally again .. make a routine .. then life can start to get back to normal.

I get snuggly when I pine .. I grab lots of blankets and pillows. I get into a nice warm pair of jammies, with slippers, and a big mug of hot chocolate with a WHOLE pack of Tim tams just for me ;)

Pine men tend to be a little flammable. But oh, that woody?!


Seriously though, life is suffering. Desire causes suffering. Eliminate desire, and what's left?
 
Yes.

See sig line.

With apologies, no details will be forthcoming. Suffice it to say, I haven't stopped yet.

Clear vision.
 
I not only pine but I moon as well. It doesn't last long but it's awful.

Looks like somebody had his bowl of Nietzche-O's. "One bowl of Nietzche-O's, and you will believe God is dead." :D

you mean He's not?????
 
My heart beats against my chest like a moth against a heated bulb.
Where is he?
Why has he been gone so long?
He'll be back.
I have to believe that.
I do believe it but I've been left so many times those scars open up and bleed profusely.
Do I pine?
Yes, today, I do.
Today feels like one day too many.
The wings begin to singe then burst into two small flames
I know this feeling.
I know this pain.
At least it's familiar and warm, I think, as I bleed and burn deeply within.

*Sings*

"Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
It's not warm when he's away
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
And he's always gone too long anytime he goes away

Wonder this time where he's gone
Wonder if he's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime he goes away

I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, know, know, know, know
I know, I know
Hey I ought to
I ought to leave him alone
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone

Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
Only darkness everyday
Ain't no sunshine when he's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime he goes away"

I have always pined for her.

I pined for her in fantasy before i knew she existed.

Some parts of me only pine for her when we're apart,while other parts of me will likely pine forever.........
 
Pining for a relationship that has a hope in hell of going anywhere.

Pining for a woman who won't immediately put me into the "Safe Guy" category, negating any chance at the above..

Nothing too outrageous... Just so low a probability as to approach impossibility.
