True, but I don't need to worry about whether my partner would like the lifestyle, because I don't have a partner.  I see that as a bonus because if I do finally get lucky, she'll already know what style of life she can expect.  Not only that, women are every bit as fond of that sort of lifestlye as men are (I think they like the romance of it all).  There are as many women as men into this stuff from what I can tell, certainly from what I've gathered on forums occupied by fans of the lifestlye.

Doggies like it too :-)
