First come, first served. I'll mentor and edit for a new and struggling writer in the name of a legend on Lit that I care very much for; LadyCibelle, who is painfully absent.

drksideofthemoon said:Exactly how does an RF signal trespass on your property?
AsylumSeeker said:That was my way of trying to explain that my return to Lit is precarious at best. Hence, here today, possibly gone tomorrow. Although I'm fairly confident that I'm on the fringes of the city's free wireless network anyway. I didn't want people to think I was hacking into personal networks just to get here. I can spell hacking, but beyond that I'm a complete novice.
drksideofthemoon said:More than likely you are on someone's unsecured wireless network, and probably quite close as most WIFI doesn't really have much of a range...
AsylumSeeker said:OK, your point being ???
Do you offer any assistance (assuming you're capable of it, although that remains in great doubt) to what happens here, or is your only goal to aggravate those who do ?? Have you put forth any effort to help those who ask for it ??
I'm simply not certain what worth you're attempting to interject.
Ahh! I see it now. You've wormed your way under my skin. LOL. Enjoy.

And yes, it says Linksys... cringe.
Sorry for miscontrueing your intent. In hindsight, thanks for the concern!
Have you really considered what her reaction will be when (not "if", "when") she discovers this deceit?AsylumSeeker said:... But I feel like a heel. My spouse never approved of my association with Lit, and I begrudgingly canceled the internet per her request. ...
It isn't OK, and the female is not always right. Some mutual agreement is needed. Perhaps she does something you don't like and will give that up in compensation?AsylumSeeker said:It may admittedly turn out to be something else I've learned to regret. But why is it okay for her to keep me from doing what inspires me? Why does she have the trump card?
Why do we assume the female is always right ??

Khukuri said:I've never understood why so many women try to discourage pornographic material within the relationship and feel that it is their duty to use sex as a means of gaining control. These are the worst things you can do in a relationship.
My husband is encouraged to not only keep his magazines, movies, and other sexual trivia, but to feel that he can ask that I participate without feeling loathsome. In this manner I get the closeness that so many females search for and my husband gets a chance to experiment with some fantasies he has. Sex is never used for disciplinary actions or to prove some ridiculous point. If I am upset about something, my husband knows on his own that sex is unlikely for the following night, but only because I'm not willing that night---not because I withheld sex from him as punishment. Often times he finds that I am just as willing as he is, and all he has to do is ask. There have been times when I've been denied because he wasn't in the mood (e.g. long day at work, injured, or just needs a break, etc.), and I respected his choice.
To deny a man a chance for sexual relief and exploration is closing yourself off from a very important aspect of a man's life. If you try to regulate when, where, why, and how a man is to have sex with you then you are just encouraging him to seek sexual freedom elsewhere. True, men do not think about sex all of the time, but when they do, they should be allowed to do so freely and without shame.
Just my two cents.
cloudy said:I agree with a lot of your post, but to be honest, in tone it sounds like something out of the 1950's: "we must give a man whatever he wants, or he'll find it somewhere else."
That I object to most rigorously. Women have just as much right to expect satisfaction from their partners as men do.
C'mon, move up to the next millenium.

cloudy said:Read what you said again.
Of course I regulate how/when/etc. a man has sex with me. I am an individual, not some man's sex toy, no matter how much I love him.
Khukuri said:This can be interpreted in more than one fashion. I was going at a more negative and totalitarian approach. It is not wise to give your partner a schedule of what, when, where, and how your partner is to have sex---whether or not they agree with you. You wouldn't appreciate your mate telling you that you will have sex every night at such-and-such time and do the following things only.
True, I might not be in the mood and my husband will just have to wait until next time (and vice versa). This is not intentionally denying him sex as a method of control though. It does not serve to prove some point other than I'm simply not in the mood.
He and I both have the option to explore new sexual techniques as long as the other person is willing. There really isn't any list of regulations; just a pattern that develops over time that we both can agree on. Once more, it's an attempt at compromising for the sake of keeping the relationship fair and enjoyable.
Intentionally denying sex or granting sex as a disciplinary tool is wrong in a relationship and can eventually lead to the relationship's undoing. Removing sexual paraphernalia from your mate will deprive you of the option to explore your partner's sexuality and could possibly stifle your sex lives together.
This was my point---not to belittle women or claim that one gender is better than the other.
A relationship functions better when it is balanced. This balance can only be established through fairness and compromise. That includes both mates bringing forth what they like and what they do not like in an effort to find a fair compromise that enables both parties to have some of the things they want (but not all). Assuming control over what the other can and cannot do to the point of sexual deprivation is not compromising. Threatening them with loss of sexual privileges is not compromising.
I understand not wanting to be a sex toy or lose one's individuality, but I don't believe that your mate would want to be a sex toy or give up their individuality either. By "regulating" how/when/where a man has sex with you, you are assuming control. You can ask how/when/where a man would like to have sex with you, but you cannot tell him. The same holds true that he cannot tell you how/when/where you will have sex with him. There is a level of respect needed if the relationship is to work. He asks and you decline, then he respects your decision and presses the issue no further. There wasn't any need to "tell" him. If you ask and he declines, then you must respect his decision and press no further. This was the idea I was trying to express.
I hope this clarifies things. As always, I strive for equality and fairness. If my husband is happy, then I find that I am happier too because we both get what we want without oppressing the other.
