Dating debate: Give up guilty pleasures?
As much as I want a guy to call my own right now, I can definitely appreciate the art of being single. That’s right, the art. When you are perpetually single as long as I have been, you get kind of good at it…fortunately or unfortunately, if that makes sense!
One of the first things you have to do when you get coupled up is curb your crazy weird habits as not to scare off your potential Mr./Miss. Right. Yeah, I know it brings you immense pleasure watching adult entertainment for countless hours, but can that guilty pleasure stick around when you are coupled up?
Should we have to give up our guilty pleasures when we get in a relationship? What about all those fun (naughty?) things that made single life so great?
One of my friends told me that her new man has a problem with her collection of “toys.” He doesn’t like it for a variety of reasons and he basically said it was disrespectful for her to disregard his request to throw them away.
This made me think about when you draw the line in relationships. I know women often worry about losing their identity in a relationship. Is that ever an issue for men?
Do you think that relationship compromise includes changing who you are and what you enjoy to please someone else?

@SlimNU ~ Blackfoote is trying to get me on a table. I ain’t participating just indulging in voyeuristic thrills.
@Blackfoote ~ did you look it up the old fashioned way (dictionary) or did you use the 21st century method (google.com) (LOLOL).
