This might make for an interesting discussion among people with our particular "purientation" :-\ .
Does our shared fetish carry over into the conduct of our personal lives? Do we share common attitudes toward, for example, housekeeping, or do we attract like-minded, or opposite-minded people (on ANY subject) as our partners.
I use regluar enemas on a (roughly) weekly basis, always with soap and usually before daily bathing and shaving.. I view my body as, though flawed (like everyone else "my age") an instrument to be maintained and kept clean and healthy. Once in a while, I'll indulge a "clean streak" with a steam bath, colonic, etc.
My housekeeping habits are closer to the opposite pole. I do what's necessary, but only as time permits, and during those times when the demands of work, etc, add addtional pressure, I would probably be characterized as an "Oscar Madison", rather than a "Felix Unger" I do clean things up, however, when the pressures let up.
I was raised in a stable, but somewhat quirky family setting typical to the early 1950's. My father was a dairy farmer and my Mom never again worked outside the home once she married; and to be frank she never made an attempt to "step out from his shadow", but directed her energies toward the very high standards of houscleaning common to women of her time.
So I'd like to hear from other members who might have noted these variations on the "spectrum of behavior" among relatives and partners.
