    Spanking fascination (read at your own risk)

    to be a sexual person you need sexual thoughts not actions. there are many sexual ppl who may not enjoy sex but have thoughts of desiring someone else in some way which may not end up in penetration. i speak from experience, while not anymore asexual (i was till i was 24), i prefer to go...

    Spanking fascination (read at your own risk)

    It can be hard to shake an identity we've grown accustomed to. It can make us feel special and unique, especially if we have not decided what we will be next or are comfortable with where we are heading. You may be outgrowing asexuality, is the common answer. Total sexuality. I am sensing...

    Possessiveness about one's deity

    You are right, all of this is very scary if taken too literally. I generally don't tend to view my relationship in a categorical sense, but if I did..There are times my heart melts because of the closeness and hurts due to distance, there are times I clean the house, imagining I am cleaning for...

    Possessiveness about one's deity

    This is my theory and why i find it hard to pray for myself..unless health related. it also usually feels odd to advise God, so much he knows my heart! it shows faith that you don't ask

    Possessiveness about one's deity

    yes I was helping OP explore what they could possibly be feeling. We do not always have sentiments based in logic. God is available to all but, as indicated some have a desire to protect this relationship or feel possesive over it. they are able to healthily explore why and reason behind it. no...

    Possessiveness about one's deity

    You know that we may view our relationship with God in different lights. Some people may be protective about God as the feelings evident in a parent and child relationship, that tender feeling of protecting ones deity may be same as if God was their baby. Or possesiveness over God like one has...

    Possessiveness about one's deity

    I dont see much positivity in these sentiments, what am I missing.. Would you not rather share your love for Sri Krishna with a friend creating a strong bond and fellowship? Would you not rather them be as happy as you are in His holy prescence? jai sri krishna haribol

    Who is your Ia-deva(t)?

    @ #5, that is how I feel. There are times I have changed my religion , making that logical choice by myself to initiate change and do some investigation into other paths. There are also times like this time when I have felt summoned, a call I couldn't ignore and despite all fears have...

    Sri Bhagavad Gita .

    To me the Gita is that very sweet book that changed my life, not only did it introduce me to Lord Krishna, it opened the doors to a higher level of bhakti. I read a copy by Eknath Easwaran that was beautifully written, crystal clear for someone to whom heady philosophical dialogues do not...
