Why I Refuse to Date Cheaters

If Dan Savage has taught me anything, it's that people cheat and really it is something that we should all kind of get over. I understand, if you make a monogamous commitment you should keep it, but people are people and people make mistakes.

People cheat for all kinds of reasons. Your spouse and you are in a sexless marriage and you still have a sex drive (which is not something you should be ashamed about). Your spouse has some sort of condition that makes sex painful, embarrassing or downright unfeasible. You have kids and you don't want to leave your significant other because other than the lack of sex, the marriage works. You no longer have intimacy in your relationship and you crave it, like any sane human being.
I get it. I completely understand. I don't really think people that stray or cheat are terrible human beings.

BUT....

I refuse to closet myself.

Being your "behind closed doors" kind of girl is in absolutely no way appealing to me. I'll never meet the friends or family of someone who cheats. I'll never be able to go out in public and have an amazing time with them. No one will know of my existence. No big birthday or anniversary celebrations. No trips to your family reunions. No meeting you at work for lunch. I get to be your shameful slutty secret that you go through extraordinary lengths to keep from prying eyes, especially those of your partner, the one who wasn't aware their partner suddenly made a decision to break their monogamous commitment. I don't need the crazy showing up on my doorstep at 2:30AM looking for "the slut that stole their man." No thanks, really, i have enough drama in my own life.

Openly non-monogomous folks do this for more than "just some sex." This isn't about orgasms or feeling good. It's about connection. Adaptation. Emotional expression and personal enjoyment.
If i can't be open. I can't be happy.

So cheaters, before you send that next email to the cute poly-person you found on OKCupid, do some thinking. You're asking (most likely inappropriately) for more than just some strange on the side. You're asking people to remove part of who they are because you saw they were poly or you thought they had a cute face or a hot ass. Think before you act.

    Fuck YES, this!

    Mrs. AP and I have had many a man try to lure us (or just her) away for a secret fling. We have refused every time. I fought hard to come out into the open. I will not go back into hiding.

    Stay SINful
    Mr. AP

Looking for a place to start? Try some of these sites

I've either used or heard of all of these sites. Explications and success rates below. Listed in alphabetical order for.. fairness, yeah. [ Adult Friend Finder ] I can't suggest this website to anyone in my experience. I signed up for an account to get an accurate representation of what the site was like and if you are a free member, literally, every other button you push asks you to upgrade.  The website itself is terribly put together and the layout makes almost no sense. The site has several overlapping features and siging up for an AFF profile also gives you a profile of another type that I was never asked about when signing up. I put links to my Fetlife and SLS accounts and they froze my profile. Long review short - I'd take your time and your money elsewhere. [ Craigslist ] Very very hit or miss. Mostly miss for me, but once again if you know what to look for you'll do well enough. There is a lot of bots, a lot of spam and a lot of people with absolutely n...

KateHarding.net's "Guest Blogger Starling: Schrödinger’s Rapist: or a guy’s guide to approaching strange women without being maced"

I found this article some months ago and was recently reintroduced to it. My last entry had to do with women related things, let's focus on what goes on inside the brains of us very lovey ladies and woman-identified peoples.  The full original article can be found here on KateHarding.net and I recommend every single person that comes to my blog go over there and read it (or read excerpts here). Gentlemen. Thank you for reading. Let me start out by assuring you that I understand you are a good sort of person. You are kind to children and animals. You respect the elderly. You donate to charity. You tell jokes without laughing at your own punchlines. You respect women. You like women. In fact, you would really like to have a mutually respectful and loving sexual relationship with a woman. Unfortunately, you don’t yet know that woman—she isn’t working with you, nor have you been introduced through mutual friends or drawn to the same activities. So you must look fur...

Boots, Boot-Blacking, Boot-play, and when is a scene, a scene?

Boot play and blacking is something that is relatively new to me. I understand that as something that is new, and something that is generally done as a service, it may be difficult to tell whether or not what i'm doing is a scene, or a service. When i am doing a boot scene, i would prefer not to be interrupted. I did a scene last night with Daddy where i blacked his (vintage) brand new boots and kept having people approach me to talk. My feelings weren't hurt, but i would like to make a few clarifications on when i would like to be left to enjoy the leather that i'm into. I am complete and utter boot slut, please let me enjoy that. I've put together a few guidelines that will hopefully make it easy for someone to tell if trying to talk to me is a good idea. If you are ever in doubt, just wait 'till i'm done. If my mouth is on leather, leave me alone. This includes everything from a simple kiss to full on tongue-out-sloppy-drippy-boot-worship.  If boots ar...
