Why does that matter? Well it has come up in my relationships that I don't NEED my partners and for some of them that has made them question our relationship. It was another one of those ways that I was an atypical girl person and it bit me in the ass. I didn't need my HS ex after I moved away to college. He didn't say it outright but the women he sought out while I was gone, we had an open relationship to some degree, were of the needy type. He could come in and be a hero, savior, fixer, whatever they needed that I decidedly did not need from him. It was both frustrating and funny at the time. These were not women he would have sought out had there not been the foil of me in his life. They were women who he routinely ridiculed, women like them more than the women themselves, because of their failure to be independent. But because of the lack of that need emanating from me he chased them down all the same.
He wasn't the only man in my life to mention that lack of need which I don't think I really took a hard look at until this weekend. I lust, I want, I desire but rarely do I need. Even as sit here now and think about my pursuit of a new D/s relationship I have said that I need the right Dom to guide me. In practical terms I won't fall apart without that coming into place but I can also say that I want it passionately. I would greatly like to see what my submission could be molded into with the right person taking the helm. I want to be able to surrender to my most depraved imaginings and see what comes to pass when and if I make it back out. I crave it enough that it feels like a need but I am painfully aware that it will take all of my inhibitions being overwhelmed in order for me to to even consider it.
There are a million wants and still not much more than I started with in terms of needs. As promised here are a list wants but things that aren't quite needs.
