*** Note: I would be really happy for my partner to step outside her boundaries and do something new and not usually done (minus the stress of course). Absolutely no pressure to do so, just thought I'd throw it out there as I stepped outside my boundaries in the EBDQS and found it exhilarating to do so - not to mention the satisfaction burst. BUT in saying that - if you are happier to stick to what you know, then I'm happy with that too. IYKWIM?
