he's right because we do open up emotionally to one another..
I think one "has to open up" for progress to be made and for this forum to work. If people don't open up, how are the other readers going to know what was said rather than what was implied?

BTW, I agreed with the C, that some of the things that were talked about openly were out of line in some peoples eyes.

When I was in college, in the "sexually variant behaviors" class and the "Womes's Issues" class, what was discussed there was of a personal nature. We included the plumbing, biology, and mechanics of different people's R's/activities but included feelings, fantasies we had on a personal level, reactions, peoples motivation for doing some things, wrote papers about sexual dreams, and watched several different short, sexually explicit films, that included a Gay, lesbian, swingers, and marital improvement orientation.

A group of women went to a topless bar, observed and talked with some of the dancers.

To the C I mentioned earlier, might have thought all of that college work was walking on thin ice too. My opinion differs.

The college degree I was working on was in the Human Service field. Future clients included individual’s, some with many problems and a variety of alternative life styles.

Much of the college work was to learn, as individuals and peers, from various training materials and from each other's experiences. I consider much of this forum activity as, peers helping and learning from peers, along with the other resources mentioned in many of the posts.

We are trying to find ways to improve our M/R and I don't see that as violating trust.
I am with you on that idea shmagic.

Not ...dreaming of a different life with someone on these boards.
Right

Here is where I have some trouble. I modified what you posted to illustrate my rough spots.

dreaming/wishing my W was more like someone on these boards.
I do wish but that isn't going to make it so.

I know, I or anyone can wish for many things. It isn't a crime to wish. At minimum levels, wishing isn't a problem. Excessive wishing can be a problem.
