Hi all ,from far far away ! My 5 euro cents.
Was pleasure to read all posts and congrats to Pro for asking question which marks built -in problem of what is primary in marriage; Mother nature's call to multiply and care for children or positive self-worth, including taking seriously one's own sexuality as it is. In my humble opinion you never can get a 50/50 balance, what obviously is a pity .
I was married 23 years (in protestant church), had so called ''kink'' since early childhood, and deep shame at that. So it was mind blowing to go to marry That girl, we were as brother and sister in church for 6 years, not even single time before marriage we talked about sexuality, we never even kissed, I had only one chance to see her in bikini on the beach, so I might say that we were forced to marry by environment we were in . I was first boyfriend for my 28 year old wife, me in my 26, I had some girlfriends before.
So, despite all christian morality I carried on with ''kink'', had to use every excuse to stay alone to gain time for, I should say ''play''.
It was difficult and risky.......psychologically downgrading , and, yes, I did try to lie to my wife to introduce enema in our life, yes, you guessed it, for health reasons, I had problems with my liver and suggested that enema can help detox , it worked somehow, she can help me , but real reason wasn't disclosed not nearly fulfilled. It couldn't stay this way, so after 15 years in marriage I partly told her about my childhood experiences in hope that she might understood me, she did but situation become complex with that, the aura of innocence around ''procedure'', as she called it, vanished, leaving both of us very uncomfortable about my ''kink''. She had no kinks to care about in herself, sex was not in top 10 list for her, as opposite for me as possible. However she didn't cringe or blame me, not one single time , she just was plain unenthusiastic.....
Then I got accident during my ''play'', blood vessel in my brain opened up a little, just to pass few drops.... I didn't loose control, but got pain and dreaded fear...after few days I was struck by , as I learned later, panic attack, which I took serious and feeling that I'm going to die I confessed her all my ''kinking'', it brought confession from her that she guessed it all from my behaviour.. Since then our relationship deteriorated, children got on their own and finally she's gone.
I'll say that this is sad story, and I think in retrospect it was a mistake to confess my ''sins'', although she didn't complain , subconsciously she refused me, or maybe it was built in from the start and this kink is just the trigger to shoot.
My best guess is that life is too short to explore and defend one's own sexuality, at best we can cling to some existing model, but loose on some personal needs, real or imaginary, who knows.
Second guess, thanks to this website, is men/ women ratio of us, participants , 80/20% at best ? So it's rationally impossible to find a women with same interest as mine,..... where do they get those willing models for ,I'll say "erotic'' content.... certainly not for my 5 euro cents, I think.
