About the site owner

How can I contact you? You can leave a comment below. If you wish your comment not to be displayed, please write at the top of your comment: "PLEASE DO NOT DISPLAY THIS COMMENT. IT IS A MESSAGE FOR THE SITE OWNER."

Do you write everything on this site? No. Very little of it, in fact. Check the attribution at the end of each article. Look at the list of contributors.

Do you agree with everything on this site? No. There are many different opinions presented here. With only a few exceptions I post articles on the front page because there is something about them that appeals to me, but I certainly don't agree with everything everything said in front page articles, let alone those that aren't on the front page. I don't even agree with things I myself have said in the past on this site, so it would be a bit difficult to agree with everything everyone else has said too!

Congratulations on creating a great site!

You have created an intelligent, fascinating site that deals with the subject in an interesting and natural way without being pornographic in the slightest. I appreciate the way the selection of articles respects women as wives and their need to find marital happiness and romance through encouraging their husbands to be strong. Keep up the good work.

Superb Web Site but...

This is a superb Web Site you've created but what is it? You talk asbout Traditional Relationships, but you say you don't think it's not Natural and you're not religious. Is it a DD site? Parts of it look like a Spanko Site. There's a lot of D/s on it, are you D/s? It's confusing because you've said comments against BDSM but the Site could be a TPE one.... except you don't accept a slave/servant role. What are you????

What are we?

We are many unique people with different insights and opinions. You've stated you think the website superb so why the need to put the writers here in neat little categories? Each of us is confident in who we are as I suppose you are confident in yourself. I think one of the best things about this site is that it can be so many things for so many people and each can take away what he needs or wants.

Peace,
Daisy

Superb Web Site but.......

Mary Lou Day's comments are interesting and not at all perplexing, in my opinion. This site is about very traditional relationships (like marriage/monogamy), it is not about religion (though it does seem to follow the Judaeo-Christian ethic of love), it is about domestic discipline ( who has not, man or woman, mentally or physically disciplined their lover), it is a 'spanko site'( because some of us spank or whip), it is D/s ( because some of us use D/s methods), it is BDSM (because, if we are honest, we all love to be tied down and 'taken'), it is TPE (because we all exchange huge amounts of power when we give ourselves to each other)... we all incorporate PART of all these systems (and many, many others) into that great and gorgeous brew we call love - with marriage, partnership, care, freedom, equality, the kids.. everything all gets mixed in.

Clearly I can't speak for the site owner - whether or not she is into D/s or heavily into TPE or whatever... but since she appears to be a very human being, she is, presumably just like the rest of us... taking whatever she needs from wherever to be a unique human being... just like the rest of us.

At LAST!

I am a male with a submissive "livein" girlfriend that, although I am a dominant person, had no idea how to treat her the way she needs to be treated. I always knew, and this is after ten years, that something in our relatonship was missing. I now know what it is! After searching the web for what seems like an enternity, finally finding "Taken In Hand is the guiding light I've been looking for. I wish to thank you for this outstanding site.

Thank you

Thank you for providing the most comprehensive, intelligent site I've found to date on the subject of domestic discipline. I have included a link to this site on my Profile page and pray you do not mind. Thank you! TxLady

Thank You

Thank you so much for creating this site. My lady found it about a week ago, and immediately shared it with me. We are only 5 months into our relationship and were already heading in this direction. Thanks to your site, we have already gained tremendous insights into the relationship we both want to build. Her name is Jen, and she is a brilliant writer. I am sure she will be a frequent contributor to this site, as will I.

With my most sincere gratitude... thank you,

Sandy

Thank You

Thank you for creating such a WONDERFUL site. Where have you been all this time?

The members are all so interesting and in the main compassionate.
I am, at present, rudderless but looking.
Trying to get a sensible piece going, at the moment, to submit.
Not too long, covering where I come from.
Will send over the weekend.
Apologies for formatting.

Kind regards and love to all.
