It’s the 600th edition of #SinfulSunday, a meme curated by @MollysDailyKiss with commitment and creativity for a community that has shifted and changed during that time. My own personal life has changed hugely during that time and #SinfulSunday and the people taking part are part of that shift. I am grateful and appreciative of its place in my life.
For a number of years, every Sunday morning, it was my routine to take a quick and dirty picture, create a post on my phone and link it to the meme site run by Molly. During these years my love and I were together but apart. We both had quite separate lives but felt deeply connected. Part of what continued that connection when we weren’t meeting regularly was my blogging and posting including #SinfulSunday.
He was first my Visitor, then my Master (hence my twitter name), then my Love, and always, my Muse. I think about these as being archetypes, containers that allowed me to project my thoughts, feelings and desires on to that felt secure and in fact were encouraged. A virtuous circle.
I feel much of D/s is about projection and fulfilment of that projection in a ‘just enough’ continuous drip feed to keep both Dom and sub in a state of longing and desire.
But, I digress, that’s another topic for another blog.
Today’s picture is taken in a similar way to most of my previous ones. You can see from the angle of my left arm that I am holding the camera above us which adds to the sense of immediacy. There is a glimpse of both of our faces, my Love’s is stubbly after a week of illness but looking more relaxed after a better night’s sleep. His arm, suntanned from our week on Santorini holds my breast. It feels protective and appreciative, his ring and little fingers hold my nipple between them, and he occasionally scuffs them back and forward to waken it. My arm circles my breast and holds his arm, the different colours of our skin is striking, the edit makes them luminous together.
We breathe together.
It’s an intimate moment, a snapshot giving insight into our shared life now. Which is cosy and comfortable, and most of all loving.
What #SinfulSunday and my Love did for me by giving me permission to create and post pictures was to normalise my finding ways to act on feeling I was attractive, and to express desire that until recently had lived unspoken and deeply hidden in my psyche. The community that was a part of #SinfulSunday during those years was encouraging and inspiring and I am grateful to Molly for her commitment, creativity and endless patience in providing the space for this to happen for so many of us.
To those who have been kind enough to view, comment and encourage me here over the years, I send my heartfelt thanks. I couldn’t have done it without you all.

Oh Eye, this is beautiful, both the words and picture. I love the tender intimacy of the picture but also the words made me feel a bit emotional. Sinful Sunday might be of my creation but in many ways it is the community of bloggers who have turned into what it is and it has been such a powerful force for me exploring and expressing my desire etc so I can totally relate to your words.
Thank you so much for joining in this week.

Thank you Molly, for the hard work through sometimes turbulent times. Art reflects life imperfect, confounding, sometimes too damn confusing but ultimately a part of a life well lived. What you do is valued and respected, and deservedly so.

Your essay of homage to sinful Sunday hit several resonant points. You nailed a D/s concept that my Kitten uses all the time. Projecting her thoughts and feelings, her wants and desires. Finding your person is magical and it sounds like you have found yours.
Thanks for sharing and posting.

Thank you for this thoughtful comment. We found each other and I found myself in that journey. It hasn’t been without its difficulties but it is such a life enhancing thing to have done.
