Hi Daisy,

Wow. I think I had almost the same conversation with my T last week. I'm not exactly sure why now, but lately I've been having more sexual thoughts about and feelings toward my T. Since they've been kind of frequent and intense, I figured it was time to talk to him about it again.

I'm as frank as I can manage with him right there looking at me. I don't give too many details, though. Lots of euphemisms and very little eye contact.

Anyway, your last question, "is it more acceptable to have childlike longings to be taken care of than it is to have these more adult type feelings?" was something we kind of talked about (maybe more him than me). I would have to say that I don't know the childlike longings are actually separate of the adult type feelings. I believe the childlike longings are just manifesting themselves in a way we can understand better as adults. Sexual intimacy is generally an acceptable and healthy way for an adult to feel close to someone. Closer than with most anything else. So are childlike longings more acceptable than adult type feelings? I think in this instance we're talking about the same thing just presented in a different way. If your T can handle it, which it sounds like he can, both are probably equally acceptable. Just gotta figure out what it is that you are *really* wanting. Piece of cake, right? ;)

BTW, I find it kind of interesting that you said "childlike longings to be taken care of" as opposed to simply childlike longings. Perhaps you just meant it in general, though?

I'm sorry you're feeling so alone, (((Daisy))). Was this your last session before his vacation?

Hugs,
Laurie
