In 1997, a chance meeting in a vibrant club marked the beginning of a journey that would redefine the boundaries of love and intimacy for a couple. From the moment they met, they intuitively knew they were destined to be together. Over the years, their partnership evolved into a dynamic and adventurous exploration of each other's desires, ultimately leading them to a profound understanding of themselves and their relationship. More than two decades later, they discovered that their unique approach to intimacy aligned with the principles of BDSM, specifically the concept of "free use."
Their relationship was characterized by a loving and exploratory sex life that both partners cherished. The woman experienced a powerful physical response to their encounters, even when it did not culminate in an orgasm. This connection fostered a deep bond between them, encouraging the man to often initiate intimacy without prior discussion. Over time, the woman granted him blanket consent to sex, unknowingly embracing what is known in BDSM communities as "free use."
In the early years of their relationship, they did not label their sexual practices. Even though they were unfamiliar with BDSM terminology, their sexual encounters reflected many of its elements. However, family commitments, including raising children, led to a temporary shift in their intimate lives. During this period, they did not engage in the same type of adventurous sex they had enjoyed when they first met.
As their children grew up and left for university, the couple found themselves revisiting the intimacy that had initially drawn them together. With renewed energy and curiosity, they began to explore their sexual connection once more. It was during this resurgence that they realized the nature of their sexual practices aligned with BDSM dynamics.
Over 25 years, their shared experiences cultivated a deep understanding of each other's needs and desires. Through ongoing research into BDSM over the past three years, they learned about concepts like "free use," which provided them with language to describe their experiences. This knowledge enriched their relationship, offering insights into the dynamics that had naturally developed between them.
The woman experienced a sense of empowerment and celebration in taking on the dominant role during their encounters. This feeling of strength was not only confined to the bedroom but also permeated her daily life, leaving her with a lasting sense of well-being. Meanwhile, the man managed household finances, contributing to their shared responsibilities and ensuring balance in their partnership.
