I'm quite gracious/thankful to the type of conversation my topic has sparked. Also, I'm even more impressed that all responses thusfar has been mature and on an intelligent level. That is usually a pretty remarkable thing to find on forums these days.

I do not think wifey and I have a problem of practices some BDSM acts (i.e., bondage, stimulation, control-driven techniques, etc.) currently. Like most of said, since we are married and we have a mono. partnership - the bedroom is an open arena for lots of fun. As a christian, I do not (nor does my church think so) that sexual acts are bad between married ppl. As long as they are healthly and not abusive, I see no wrong there.

I guess my real 'question/problem' is how to deal with my submissive/BDSM tendacies/urges outside of my marriage. The teasers (pictures, stories, techniques) in the BDSM world is something I seem like is hindering my faith. IMO,the teasers provoke other 'intimate' actions while getting caught up in them. Also, they provoke many lustful thoughts that kind of take my mind of my concentrated as a devoted christian.

All in all though, I feel I've done pretty well conquering my urges outside the bedroom. I've decided to return to this forum for support, to learn some ideas for play with wifey and to speak to other faith-driven BDSMers. Maybe, I might even be able to turn a few eyes up towards the Lord that have spent too much time looking down at Hell.

Great discussion thusfar though...
