I'm not a Pollyanna sort of kumbaya type.

One person simply can’t be all things to another person – sexually or otherwise—and unmet needs, unfulfilled desire, and unexplored possibilities are prices we pay to be in LTRs (long –term relationships). Monogamous, polyamorous, Femdom, or whatever: All couples people walk around feeling a little unfulfilled. (Single people, too). Because no one gets everything they want.

I'm allergic to dogs, so I couldn't even adopt what gay men typically adopt when they have that maternal gene.
