.DanaSchwartzzz on her failed experiment with non-monogamy
Photo: J.V. Aranda Welcome to It’s Complicated, stories on the sometimes frustrating, sometimes confusing, always engrossing subject of modern relationships.
An introduction to Mark had been her first gift to me when I arrived in New York City wide-eyed and lonely. Sarah and I had met to get a drink together, which became two drinks, which became me confessing that I had fantasized about BDSM but never engaged with it outside of incognito browsing tabs on my laptop.
Mark took care to expose me to elements of kink slowly, to teach me safe words, to check in and make sure I was enjoying myself. The first time we had sex, he tied me to his bed using the restraints he already had attached to his bed frame and spanked me until my skin was beet red. A few hours before the worst blizzard of the year would hit New York City, Mark and I took a trip to Home Depot so he could buy wood to finish a bookcase he was working on.
“So I actually have dinner plans tonight,” Mark said, looking at the road. “With a friend. She and I made these plans a while ago or I would have cancelled.”
