Lol, I edited in to my post about related clauses. I was told I was comma splicing but they weren't independent.
It could be argued that in the example that you give, they are related. The struggle being due to wrapping the shirt around the wrists. I would actually have used a comma followed by the gerund and argued my point.
The biggest problem is determining whether clauses are independent or related. It can be a headache.
My pet peeves are using commas AND conjunctions and the lack of commas with a subordinate clause.
While they are related, they are also independent clauses all by themselves. If they are going to be joined by a comma, a conjunction is required. Not recommended. Required.
Gerunds are different. With the example given, it's more difficult to join with a gerund, because the first complete clause focuses the verb action on the first person. The second complete sentence focuses on the other character. In order to properly gerund the second clause, I'd have to focus the verb action on the first person. So I'd have to change it up a little more:
I pulled his shirt off and wrapped it around his wrists, feeling him struggle only slightly before submitting to my will.
That's not a comma splice. Now they are properly related clauses. Note that the gerund makes the second clause subordinate, or dependent. Oh the joys of gerunds!
When the action in both clauses is directed at the same character, the clauses can be said to be related. Exceptions, such as the comma and conjunction, exist, where the clauses although not necessarily related, can be combined.
Ahh, the comma and subordinate clauses. That's a whole other discussion. It would seem that the rule is somewhat reversed, but that *is* the rule. It's proper grammar to leave the comma out of the sentence when dealing with a simple subordinate clause. Why? Who knows. I follow the rules. :-)

As I said in my post earlier it is not incorrect grammatically. It is more a question of style.
They're one of my biggest pet peeves. Comma splices, I mean. This is because there are many different ways to avoid them. A comma is not meant to be used to combine two independent clauses, unless it has a conjunction to go along with it. Here's a comma splice example for you:
I pulled his shirt off and wrapped it around his wrists, he struggled only slightly before submitting to my will.
(It was painful to write that, by the way.)
Fixing that is so easy. There are so many ways to do it!
I pulled his shirt off and wrapped it around his wrists, and he struggled only slightly before submitting to my will.
I pulled his shirt off and wrapped it around his wrists; he struggled only slightly before submitting to my will.
I pulled his shirt off and wrapped it around his wrists. He struggled only slightly before submitting to my will.
All of the above are more correct than the comma splice. All it would take is a moment to change punctuation, capitalize a letter, or add a simple 'and'.
So, in light of this, I posit that most of the instances of comma splicing that we see are not intentional 'style', but rather carelessness, laziness or simple lack of knowledge regarding proper punctuation.

This post doesn't make sense. You're question asked WOULD YOU? In that case you should not be criticising answers like SP's. It's a personal opinion.
This. I've noticed that the OP thanks those who agree with what she would like the answer to be (yes, of course I would happily go out with a woman if she paid me!), but pretty much just disdain and accusation to those who present a different opinion. Please realize that when you ask a question, you will not always get the answer you want. That is no reason to go on attack. You asked, and people answered.
I have absolutely no stake in this thread, or in the answers provided, but that sort of two-faced attitude is bothersome. No, I don't know the OP except from her posts. Those don't necessarily instill in me the warm and fuzzies.
<-- This means it's my opinion. I'm allowed to have one, just like anyone else.

I'm posting this on behalf of my husband, who had suggestions.
Barring some terrible bacterial or fungal infection that requires medical care, try these:

I dunno, I thought this thread was pretty amusing. Quick sum up:
One guy says, "Guys! Hey guys! There are girls out there pretending to be the pictures they're using on the internet, but they're NOT! It's all a big fat lie!"
Everybody else, "Uh... duh, dude."
OP, "NOOO, you don't get it! I mean they're actually actively pretending to be someone they're not! Like, on purpose!"
Everybody else, "Well, yeah. It's the internet. My avatar's not me."
OP, "You don't fucking GET IT!!! I'm not talking about you. I'm talking about the EVIL GIRLS out there pretending to be someone they're not! (or maybe the guys pretending to be girls)"
OP, "Oh fuck it. Mods, please delete this thread."
Naughtynurse, "No can do, pardner."
It devolves from there.
See? Pure amusement. Oh, by the way, that is *not* my foot drawing that heart. Good day, everyone!

Gosh. He must have been six or seven inches long and perhaps... two and a half to three inches around? Really, it was all about the girth for me. He was slightly uncomfortably long. The best position was me on top. Doggy hurt. I think that's the only time I remember actually having multiple separate orgasms during a single session. The man had mad staying power. One disadvantage to something that wide was that I couldn't even begin to give him proper head, something I absolutely adore. The relationship didn't last, but the memories will live forever.

I would imagine there are many women out there who do not enjoy it at all. After all, having something shoved down your throat past the point of gagging isn't necessarily a comfortable or enjoyable thing.
For my own part, I've always enjoyed giving head, and especially enjoy deep throating, though there are limits to any ability to do that. It depends on the size and length of the cock, how much someone is able to relax their throat, control their gag reflex, etc.
These days, the only man who enjoys my talents is my husband. He's quite the perfect size, as well. Not too big (yes, there is such a thing) and not too small. He's just right. :-)

This has been discussed. Forum time zone is different than user time zone. Until that changes, simply treat it that way. Not sure if it actually *will* change.

It's not usually about the ethnicity for me. It's about the brains. Impress me with your mind without being a pompous jerk and we'll probably get somewhere. This actually refers to both friendship and more meaningful relationships. My husband is perhaps the best man I know. He's quietly but eerily smart and knows how to love me just right.
I myself am of Hispanic descent. I dislike most men of my own ethnicity, and really most men of Latin cultures, because many of them still include some aspect of machismo in their dealings with women. It's extremely unattractive to me. Like hissing and cat calls are complimentary at all.

That look. You know the one. The look that says, "I am a strong, confident, intelligent, sexy man, and I know it. I know you like it. I would love the opportunity to show you what I'm capable of."
Just that look sets my heart racing and makes me wet. It doesn't happen very often at all, though. Probably a good thing.

I was a lurker for quite a while before I joined as well. My definition of the word was the same as yours, as I have only ever had this one identity.
Welcome to Lush, I hope you find what you are looking for here.
Agreed. I did the exact same thing, just not for nearly as long.
Welcome.

Your Mistress sounds like she might need more time getting used to being the D in the D/s. She needs confidence in her ability to control you, to lead you through a scene safely and pleasurably. It's not something to take lightly. Perhaps it would be wise for her to seek advice from other Dom(mes). She must have questions, doubts, concerns. It would be great for her to have peers with which to discuss these with, more than just with you, her sub.
That's not to say that you two shouldn't discuss things. Communication is key in any relationship, and more so in this kind of relationship. You both need to be fully aware of what each other needs and wants out of the relationship.
Since this is such a new facet of your relationship, have you considered switching roles? Are you dead set on being the sub, and is she dead set on being the Domme? Just another consideration.
For your part, I would advise patience. Let her lead, even if you get to a point where you feel frustrated that the scene isn't moving forward as quickly as you'd like. You are, after all, the sub. Use your safe words to clearly indicate how you are feeling throughout a scene, then talk about it thoroughly afterwards. What you both liked and didn't like. It will take time.
I wish you both a fruitful and satisfying D/s relationship.

It varies from trimester to trimester and from person to person. I've known people who wanted nothing to do with it during pregnancy, and I've known others who enjoyed it quite thoroughly.
Personally, I found gathering the energy to do more than sleep during the first trimester to be daunting. Pair that with nausea and general miasma and I certainly didn't want any sex at all. The second trimester's been better. My hubby's getting a little more attention. Again, for me personally, sex hasn't been all that comfortable. My cervix does not want to be poked right now. Makes things a little more challenging. I've enjoyed the orgasms, though. It's amazing how good something feels when you don't get it on a regular basis. Something I've been really happy with is giving my hubby head. I enjoy it normally, and during pregnancy it's a good way for us both to get something we want. I expect the third trimester will bring more of the no sexiness feeling of the first, if only because I'll be too big to enjoy it.
I plan on getting my groove back on after the baby, though. Oh yeah!

My point is the username! So you think because it's a female, you have to chip in to defend her? Well really that shows a remarkable lack of intelligence in my opinion. You might be better served trying to take a more objective view before commenting. Just a thought!
My point is just as applicable to men as women. If anyone was taking a subjective point of view, I suggest it was you, insinuating that her user name indicates willingness or eagerness to fuck. If I did that with your user name, I'd be inclined to think that you're a double penis whore. Hmm? Perhaps I'm wrong.
