A startupContinue reading “Office Romance”

Long Distance

I’ve done long distance relationships many times…and sworn after every one that I’d never do it again. Sometimes it works, other times not…it’s down to the people involved and the effort put in. They require more work than a regular relationship so make sure you’re willing to give it the energy required before diving in.Continue reading “Long Distance”

In reality, anyone can be dominant or submissive, or both (a switch, like me). DuringContinue reading “Being Submissive”
