Such other matters of moment with which I would wish to be conversant, such as the comings and goings of fixtures on, say, the Tejas proto-punk, trash-funk scene, well, for that one has to have well-placed sources. ;)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for dropping by, Jaime.<BR/><BR/>MacMac K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17785320472632647157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818022341462530878.post-4753113963142872592008-11-26T10:08:00.000-05:002008-11-26T10:08:00.000-05:00Great stuff, Mac.

I'm glad and grateful to follow this serialization and I look forward to additional installments.<BR/><BR/>--JaimeSeñor Jaimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04147909124260410357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818022341462530878.post-87814405536344401372008-11-22T21:09:00.000-05:002008-11-22T21:09:00.000-05:00Somehow, M., I'm not the slightest bit surprised t...Somehow, M., I'm not the slightest bit surprised that we should be running in parallel - less a matter of "great minds thinking alike" and more along the lines of precisely the unspoken intimacy, the <I>being inside</I> the opening about which I bet we're both thinking, and on which I'll elaborate further in coming installments. That along the way assumptions get challenged, feathers get ruffled, that things get difficult to understand or even abide is only a clue, I think, that the right things are happening.<BR/><BR/>And yes, yes and yes to the tag ends of yellowtail loin, cachaça and limes.

I am happily surprised to read this<BR/><BR/> I gave a presentation on the transformational potential of intimacy, or what I had defined as such in my talk, when I was in Portland earlier this year. It was received as very controversial and it ruffled some feathers and a few folks left at the break. The rub being "limits" and how staying always anchored to them, physically and psychologically can stifle intimacy and kill, as you say, the "surprise." <BR/><BR/>Some took this, incorrectly, to mean, it is OK to violate someone's limits. This was a huge misunderstanding and I had trouble reining in the resulting emotional backlash. These "openings" are difficult for some to understand or see in themselves and others.<BR/><BR/>However, some of those who stayed with me through the explanation of these ideas told me they were quite moved.<BR/><BR/>I am working these ideas more and more into my classes this year as I am pushing a new way to view erotic domination with rope. Hope they don't hang me...<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your insight on this. Wish we had a chance to chat over drinks and fish. Perhaps sometime soon.<BR/><BR/>MM.Yuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03698336734009297134noreply@blogger.com
