I guess it's just always been something that I've done alone. I was doing it before we got together and I've never shared it really with any female partner. it's never really been part of any fanstasy that I've ever had to have a woman fist me? in the fantasy it's always a guy. or multiple guys... plus, unless she's hiding an equally secretive fetish fantasy life (which, if she is, makes her just as bad as me), there is nothing that we've ever said or done that would lead me to believe that this was something she was interested in. and while she occasionally puts up with me talking about football or the like, her willingness to engage in things that she does not already like is limited.
I wouldn't say our relationship is unhealthy, but we've got boundaries, or at least I have and I assume she has too... I'm only considering bringing this up now because of this fucking virus. I don't for a second think that telling her would fuck up our relationship or anything, it's more that... right, how do I put this?
1 - she just flat out refuses to do it... we basically pretend like I never brought it up. plausible. but then it's gone. it denies the possibility that we could have at some point arrived at a situation where we tried this or whatever... that possibility, slim though it was, is no longer there.
2 - she agrees to try it... also plausible. she's moderately sexually adventurous I'd say, but all more or less vanilla. no pain. no bondage. ok, light bondage a handful of times, not for years. no s&m of any kind. unless, as I say, she's just elected never to include me in any of it... but yeah, she tries it, she hates it. then what? or she's bad at it. or she's so worried about being bad at it that it's even worse? how to put this, she's not good at being bad at things. we can't play a game that she doesn't think she's good at. why would this be any different?
like, I have to live with this person 24/7 at the moment. I really don't want the cloud of awkwardness that this could potentially bring about. but I can't play like I'm used to and I'm not happy with that.
and do I keep other secrets? of course I do. who doesn't? I mean really. who doesn't keep secrets?
