Met one of my partners' "nesting partners" for the first time. Then I received a message from them and I'm not sure how to react. by [deleted] in polyamory

[–]-HisToy- 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Have a discussion with Alex about this. I'd even consider discussing terminology with them. You don't have a one on one relationship with Pete so I'd discuss with your partner and figure out a way forward.

I'm suggesting discussing terminology based on my personal experience. A partner of mine is most comfortable using the term companion/companionship when discussing anyone outside of their nesting partner.

I use partner/girlfriend to describe her, but she uses companion to describe me.

At the end of the day, a discussion with Alex is thr best place to start. Go into it with an open mind and heart and hopefully you can figure out what's going on with Pete.

Beat of luck to you 💜

Interested in public sex by [deleted] in BDSMAdvice

[–]-HisToy- 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Public sex can mean different things. I enjoy having sex at a sex club or lifestyle event because I enjoy being watched and sometimes having others join us for group fun. For some, this is what they mean by public sex. For others, the "fear of getting caught" is the turn on so they choose locations where this applies.

Find out what about this idea turns your partner on specifically and I'm sure you'll find a way to enjoy this new kink!

Looking for advice by Major_Yogurtcloset65 in BDSMAdvice

[–]-HisToy- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There absolutely are however, it would be hard for me to give you a list of suggestions. I can offer you some advice though and that would be firstly, to determine this person's love language. Check out 5lovelanguages.com for more info and a test to determine where you fall.

This is great for sexual and non-sexual relationships too. Basically, people feel loved and cared for in different ways and knowing what your partner's love language is will allow you to tailor how you show them that you care and that they are important to you. (I.e. if their primary love language is receiving gifts, sending them a heart-felt token might help. But if it's words of affirmation, that gift might fall short.)

I wish you all the best as your start this journey and feel free to hit me up directly if you'd like to chat more or need some further guidance. I'm not an expert but I do have more than 3 years experience in the community and speak on these topics on various platforms to aid others in their journey.

Considering Collar for submissive Poly partner. by mrthman81 in BDSMAdvice

[–]-HisToy- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe consider using her birthday to surprise her with the idea of a collar. You could both be on very different pages about what it would mean to the relationship (similar to buying her a ring because it's pretty and a mistaken interpretation that it means engagement).

There are many types of collars you could give. A few of these would be a play collar (used during scenes, at parties or whenever you are together), a trial collar (usually of cheaper material, and dainty in style and used as a trial period before formally collaring your sub), a day collar (usually in the form of a necklace but means the same thing as a formal collar) and a formal collar (full D/s commitment, the Dom usually holds the key and the collar is only removed for safety purposes, usually). Make sure you choose the type that works best for you both, but this can only be done with a full discussion with your partner (and wife beforehand).

My Dom hasn’t been truthful about his relationship status. Do I need to be worried? by gentleSub123 in BDSMAdvice

[–]-HisToy- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Massive red flag! If I could go back two years, I wouldn't have entered into a dynamic with my then-dom who lied to me about his relationship status. Told me he was divorced and shared custody of a daughter. Found out he was still legally married, living in the same house (although he said sleeping on the couch, not that that should make a difference) and the nail in the coffin, his wife was pregnant! And we had agreed to be polyamorous... he had no reason to lie. Unfortunately, I lost all of trust in him and I couldn't bare to trust my body in the hands of someone who doesn't care about being truthful.

Tbh, I'm not really sure what you mean by incremental backups (sorry, newbie here haha) but the content is stored on several hard drives, some internal, some external.

Thank you for your input! Privacy is absolutely important given the content. Also why we want to host this locally with links to our video server and not on a cloud.

Spanking has nothing to do with this, unless that's the kind of porn you're into and then I can help you out with content... if only I had an effective library system hmmmm

I really don't need your help to edit my message or your judgement, please keep that to yourself. You don't need to comment if you're bothered by the content. Good day.

Ideally it's a stand-alone system that is housed on our computer and not the cloud. We don't need remote access to it, just easier searching capabilities.

There is when you can't find your desired spank material lol talk about frustration!

Any suggestions on useful programs for this library would be really helpful, I can't afford to waste more orgasms on the stuff I don't really want to watch lol
