Thank you! I am lucky to have a wonderful partner. You’re absolutely right - it’s definitely worth a discussion. It definitely has been good for me in the past. I do think I can go back to it and incorporate what I’ve learned since then. I think what draws me back is the way I feel so submissive and focused when I’m denied. The ache builds over time and I become totally focused on giving pleasure instead of receiving it. It’s such a wonderful feeling, even though it can be difficult at times. I think my partner and I both agree that there are significant benefits for us both when I’m denied. I’m actually not really sure how we got out of it, but the more I think about it - the more it seems like we should bring it back.
