Dear FandomSecrets,

I really really like the idea and the feel of cuffs on my wrists. And while I've never worn one, the idea of a collar makes me happy. I'm not sure about the submission part, but it doesn't totally turn me off. The problem is, I'm asexual. The happiness and other feelings I get from the idea of cuffs and collars isn't at all sexual. I feel confused and like my desires (and lack of) are conflicting. Like cuffs and collars and stuff are only supposed to be paired up with kinky sex or something. Anyone have any advice or similar feelings?

(I have nowhere else to ask this, sorry for the random)

Kinks aren't necessarily sexual. Collars and cuffs and the such don't have to be either.

You may want to check out [livejournal.com profile] verbs_not_nouns journal. Asexual who talks about their new exploration of kink.

D/s and bondage don't have to be sexual in nature. Power dynamics, ownership, restraint/bondage, submission/domination, none of that explicitly has the act of sex in there. A lot of subs I know say the attraction to them is that a nice feeling they get from feeling overtly wanted and appreciated by their doms and it doesn't necessarily have to do with physical lust.

I never knew I could find a reason to wear an anon hat here.
It's time for adventures in TEE-EM-EYE! ~♫ (imagine a theme song for effect)

I kind of collect dildos.
By kind of, I mean I have a problem. And by collect, I mean I put them on a shelf. Or on the wall if they've got a functional suction bottom. They basically decorate my room the way my books, dvds, figures and other hobbyist whatnots do. But I don't use them. I just like the way they look, especially glass ones.

My girlfriend wasn't sure what to make of it the first time, and bless her, so she told me she was ready to be as open minded about whatever so long as it got me off. We had a grand laugh and I lolno'd. She gets it though, that while they're still sex toys, I don't have them for sexual reasons. Even though I'm sexual.

That is an excellent story, but now I'm left picturing a room lined with dildos - on shelves and bookcases and sticking straight off the wall, all shades of the rainbow. And now I wan to see that room. And I never will. :(

To nonnie up above: I collect cuffs. I fucking love wearing them. They make me feel calm and safe and just....good. I don't have a partner, and if I did there wouldn't be sex involved in my cuff love. Sex doesn't always have to be involved.

I understand why you're confused, especially if all you've read is sexytiems bondage fic for your cuff info. But that's not what it's all about for everyone. D/s and kinky shenanigans can very easily be sex-free, so no worries.

The girthy ones make excellent bookends I'll have you know. I have the purple one of this that both sticks off the wall, and also YOU SHALL NOT PASSs at text books when they decide to lean all the way left and try to destroy everything.

I think my favorite part of your story is how unashamed you are. I would love to collect dildos in a non-sexual way (they're so bizarre and come in so many shapes and sizes. It'd be like collecting action figures or artwork or sculptures or something) but I don't think I could ever get over the embarrassment I'd feel if people found out. Not that I think there's anything to be ashamed about, but I'm just that type of person who's nervous and embarrassed about everything.

Just letting you know, I get where you're coming from. I'm asexual as well and I always wear a short necklace or a scarf because I like the feel of something around my neck (when I'm not wearing either sometimes I find I've rested my hand against my neck). I could see myself wearing a collar if I didn't want to deal with answering the questions.

I wear cuffs and a collar (thin gold belt around my neck, one wrist in leather, the other in silver) because they're symbols for myself - two are reminders and one is an affirmation. The idea behind them is basically that I'm the only one who can hold me back in life, I'm the only one in control, but that I'm not yet disciplined enough to run around without some restraint. It does play into D/s a bit, but it's all a power-game I play with myself and for myself.

I read a fanfic like this once. It worked out all right.

(Anonymous) 2012-03-07 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
ME TOO!!

So glad I'm not alone!!

Yes, hi. Hello. Feel the same way here. You're not alone.

[identity profile] formula-410.livejournal.com 2012-03-07 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, no one's made a Downton Abbey secret in a while, but I just finished watching both seasons and I need someone to talk to about all the FEELINGS I have now O_O

[identity profile] formula-410.livejournal.com 2012-03-07 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
This should have been obvious. Thanks bro ._.

[identity profile] unicornherds.livejournal.com 2012-03-07 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
It's okay. Sometimes FEELINGS get in the way of obvious. We've all been there.

And I have SO MANY D:

Today I learned about lesbian sex and it was fun AND informative. Thanks, interwebs!

As admirable as I find causes like trying to stop that African dude I've seen going 'round lately....am I the only person here who thinks we (Americans) need to get our OWN shit together first?

I mean, yeah, it's good that you want to help starving kids in Africa/the Middle East/where ever else, help women in places that don't have all or none of their rights.

But.

I honestly feel we'd in a better position to help those causes once WE get our own damn shit together.

Start showing more commercials about helping starving kids HERE, helping the poor, helping WOMEN, helping whoever needs it most, HERE, get more involved, HERE, instead of focusing more on the outside.

It's all good, really, but WE need to fix ourselves first.

Yeah, look at all the people who lost their homes due to fore-closer when they lost their jobs. Romney tried to get rid of agencies that helped struggling people keep a roof over their heads when he was Mass. Governor.

(Anonymous) 2012-03-07 04:03 pm (UTC)(link)
SO IN AGREEMENT!

I mean, it really is great that people are bringing attention to this; especially if the UN gets involved and finally does something about him, but it shouldn't be up to the US/Canada/Great Britain/etc. to police the world [on their own].
