What a raw, real and beautiful rearview mirror exploration of the complexities of attachment and intimacy. So relatable, the ache that comes from those complexities. Thank you for your compelling, heart-deep words, Sam. And thank you, Troy, for the gorgeous array of QT voices you center here. It's truly life-giving and life-saving soul food. ❤️🔥❤️🧡💛💚💙💜❤️🔥
Thank you, Sam, for sharing this very intimate essay, I think a lot of people are still not sure what the dom/sub life entails and this will surely pique their interest. Cheers, well done!
Thank you so much, Troy!! And thank you deeply for using my correct pronouns. In the book I write about myself in the past, before I knew that "nonbinary" was an option, although even if it had been I wouldn't have taken it. I was too scared of being different. It's inevitable that I will be misgendered as people encounter my past selves, so it feels really good when people get it right.
Also- the book is so QUEER! And my experience is that of a nonbinary person before they had accepted they were nonbinary. A queer person trying to be straight. It's interesting to see how different people read the book differently- to some it's a book about the female experience. To some it's about the nonbinary experience. I truly think this highlights how closely related all of our experiences are. We're not as separate as one would imagine. Thank you so much for sharing!
And Sam- thank you for sharing your writing with us. It's beautiful.
Very interesting. I had no idea what a chastity cage was before I read this piece.
Thank you so much for reading!
