This is really nice.

I often find the dom/sub stuff tiresome or even unpleasant. Too often there is a cruel edge to it that I don’t enjoy. But this is damn near wholesome, and I think you for that. It feels real and decent, rather than cruel or violent.

Fantasy, I’m fine with, and enjoy immensely. And playing at this stuff has some appeal, but the more extreme stuff not so much. D/s play is tricky for me, because in real life, for all the kink positive talk I’ve seen, I have rarely seen such relationships be healthy. Some have been so obviously toxic it sickened me. From the outside it was obviously not good for either of them, and in one I saw something I really wish I’d acted on before that friend got hurt.

You’ve managed to show something caring.

Thank you!

As you said, fantasy and fiction are one thing, but real life is another. When I play with a submissive, I always make sure they're comfortable, we test things out, we communicate. That's one of the most important things in a relationship, and many relationships nowadays (since ever I think), don't do communication well.

It's really sad.

So, through "The Lost Jock" I wanted to show people that kinky play, BDSM, D/s relationships are loving and caring, and that they don't need to be toxic to be arousing.

I think Dark Romance in general influences people the wrong way. It preaches that "Possessiveness" is sexy, meanwhile, being a Dom means you have to care for someone who offers you their entire being. Who trusts you, in my opinion this trust should never be broken.

I'm glad you're liking the story so far, and be sure that I'll be leaning more into that side of D/s relationships in my future stories 😊
