@SilkenClaws @foxy It's actually something I think about a lot these days since we're really doing a 24/7 thing for the first time, but we're still adults with a normal life that goes on. As hot as it is that I can just grab her and use her for whatever I want, there's obviously gonna be moments where that's just not gonna be fun for either of us. Sometimes her ambivalence about it is fun and hot and the _exact point_, sometimes it's just gonna be a nuisance.
And rules have to make sense and fit into our lives. Even when playing intensely you still have to eat, cook, nurse an upset stomach, feed cats, get cleaning done and stuff. #PragmaticKink is keeping it flowing through that.

Yeah, I get what you mean. I have a 24/7 dynamic and imo it really is a *lifestyle choice* - there are days it's not the most fun thing, but we do it because it's what is most fulfilling for both of us.
I've spoken to so many people who are like 'yeah I can't image 24/7' and their idea of it is halfway between porn and fantasy haha
They don't get that sustainable protocols just integrate into everyday life.
I wrote a whole thing on it a while back (linked below if anyone is curious) , because I think people often don't think realistically in setting these things up. 24/7 is basically based on setting sustainable habits haha

I like a limited 24/7 dynamic where power exchange negotiation remains ever present. Not TPE. Because I feel like everyone needs some autonomy. I don't want authority over family relationships, job and career choices, life altering decisions like buying property or what to do about getting pregnant. But on those matters we agree, with real rules and real consequences, I will take that authority. And use it constructively.
