The butterfly effect

I cherish the wonderful moments when I have the opportunity to feel the ‘butterfly effect’. It happens just before I am physically taken in hand or reminded that there is a very good possibility that I will be if something doesn't change. It is both emotional and physical. Emotionally, there is apprehension – the slight trepidation associated with submitting to correction. There is a deep desire to give up control, and apprehension about what will happen. There is also a deep sense of security – the feeling that comes when Race shows he cares enough to do whatever needs to be done for me to be happy and ‘in the zone’ as we call it. This is connection – both souls connecting to become one. Physically, there is that feeling in the pit of my stomach, the adrenalin of fear and sexual arousal. It's a physical rush that makes some people shake. This is the butterfly effect.

Race and I have been married for thirty years this month. We were married when I was 16. We have always been close and had a good life together. For us, taking this Taken in Hand journey has raised the bar in all areas of our relationship. Now that we have experienced this level of connection there is no going back. Anyone who has experienced this knows what I mean.

The butterfly effect one of the wonderful benefits for me of our Taken In Hand relationship, and I truly hope that if you experience this feeling, it continues and you cherish it. For those who do not experience this but want to, I hope you will experience it soon, because it is tremendously connecting.

Butterflies

Perhaps a desire to experience those butterflies could be a rather good indicator that a Taken In Hand lifestyle might be right for you. If you can achieve at least the start of that sensation by just thinking about it: his strength, your willingness and choosing to submit, the words, the look, the very tone of his voice when he says your name; if these cause the butterfly effect when you're NOT in a relationship, it's very likely that you will thrive in one.

And yes, I know full well, even though right now it's just in my imagination, just how he will look, how he will sound, how my skin will tingle, how I will tremble with that unique combination of fear and longing, of heat and cold, how I will want to run both away and into his arms, how parts of me will clench in anticipation and parts of me will clench in avoidance, how I will hate him for taking me in hand, yet knowing full well I would despise him if he didn't...

Oh, yes, it's all there.

If it's that good in my mind, the real thing must be close to Heaven.

Sigh. ;-)
