<div>This is take three. i wanted to repost miceal's original question to the first incarnation of this tribe because it generated such wonderful dialog. Then tribe.net ate my post. So for the third time the same question is posed. <br/> <br/>How do you push the envelope? <br/> <br/>I'll try to answer this again. Most of my boundry pushing is internal. it is about facing my fears, doing things that I think I can't moving past the comfortable into the unfamiliar and frightening aspects of my self. For instance I am afraid of fire which lead to me being set on fire for a public fetish perfomance. Also a huge leap of trust for me. While most of my envelope pushing is not nearly this extreme it all has to do with moving through the superficial and into my core. I deeply belive in self evolution and feel I'm not evolving if I'm clinging to my self. <br/>Anyone else feel me on this one?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://pushtheenvelope.tribe.net">Push The Envelope</a> - 26 replies </div>

<div>So I wanted to give a warm hello to any and all new members. It has been a source of renewed inspiration to see the positive exchange happening lately on the tribe <br/> <br/>=) <br/> <br/>I also wanted to start a new thread to describe an experience I just had with a particular 'member' of this tribe, and how good I feel after pushing a personal boundary that I have been putting off for awhile, out of my Taurean laziness, more than anything. <br/> <br/>I let a man touch my penis today...and he poked a hole in it. I even invited a woman along to watch ;) <br/> <br/>Ummmm, what a wonderful experience! This has been something I have wanted to experience first out of curiosity, then out of esthetics, then out of gently teasing from a couple of my friends who were starting to think I was not a man of my word...you know who you are ;) <br/> <br/>I'll get some photographic evidence available for the curious and/or doubtful as soon as the swelling (none so far!) goes down. Until then 800 mg capsules of ibuprophen with my morning coffee should get me through the next few days. <br/> <br/>Oh and for the record in order of pain intensity with my peircings (high to low, descending): <br/> <br/>Ears <br/>Labret <br/>Penis</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://pushtheenvelope.tribe.net">Push The Envelope</a> - 3 replies </div>

<div>Hey, good folk. Inspired by something Kenrom said. <br/>Just felt like givin' and hope you like it! <br/> <br/>****** <br/> <br/>"Flow" <br/> <br/>Be, <br/>as water is, <br/>without friction. <br/> <br/>Flow around the edges of those within your path. <br/>Surround within your ever-moving depths <br/>those who come to rest there -- <br/>enfold them, <br/>while never for a moment holding on. <br/> <br/>Accept whatever distance <br/>others are moved within your flow, <br/>Be with them gently <br/>as far as they allow your strength to take them, <br/>and fill with your own being <br/>the remaining space when they are left behind. <br/> <br/>When dropping down life's rapids, <br/>froth and bubble into fragments if you must, <br/>knowing that the one of you now many <br/>will just as many times be one again. <br/> <br/>And when you've gone as far as you can go, <br/>quietly await your next beginning. <br/> <br/>1982 (Rita &amp; Noel MccInnis) <br/> <br/> <br/>****** <br/> <br/>I guess this poem speaks to me of the profound lonlieness we all carry -- "alone-together" -- while celebrating simultaneously (as we've got to), our comings and goings and the best that we have. <br/> <br/>Connection is so ephemeral, so tricky, and I've been hurting of late for friends who are still "around" but have somehow <br/>"moved on" (no longer mutually relating) -- I'm torn between wanting at times to feel hurt, and wanting *blessings* for them, and for me -- <br/> <br/>For more of same -- more of that bountiful "Chance" that brought them / brings you -- brings more "more", bringing the new. <br/>Trusting that. <br/> <br/>I want to "KNOW", all the time that love -- and I don't "get" to know -- but wow, I *do* get to know it SOME of the time. <br/> <br/>I miss and love my friends. In a lonely / abundant universe -- even the ones I haven't met yet. <br/> <br/>Alright, thazzit! Enough of that! All this "Flow" -- kinda makes ya have to pee, you know?? <br/> <br/>Hey, anyway, Life is pretty freakin' GOOD! <br/> <br/>Blessings to you &amp; see you on the water -- <br/> <br/>SpikeyGuy</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://pushtheenvelope.tribe.net">Push The Envelope</a> - 3 replies </div>

<div>I was just sharing this quote on Polyamory tribe last night: <br/> <br/>"Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it." <br/> <br/>~Rumi <br/> <br/>This quote resonated with me, as it speaks to the very heart of what I am "pushing the envelope" for in the first place. <br/> <br/>I am discovering this stance, though glorious in its way, does reveal ever deeper challenges for me--beyond my own internal barriers. I have found recently that my relationships with others have suffered from pushing "too far, too fast." In these situations I also have to learn NOT to 'push the envelope,' and express my love through patience--because we can only move as fast as my loved ones are prepared to go. <br/> <br/>Do any of you find similar challenges with your loved ones in pushing your own envelopes? <br/> <br/>+kenrom-</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://pushtheenvelope.tribe.net">Push The Envelope</a> - 9 replies </div>

<div>one of my annoying and limiting personality traits is that i am polite. incredibly, selfeffacingly, takeitonthechin polite. i have this stupid innate need for people to like me and so i don't like them to be upset. my old answer was to not confront something i disagreed with and not go after something i wanted if i wasn't sure it would work ... and this got me into trouble. it made ME be the person who was always on edge ... and i am trying to fix it. <br/> <br/>i really don't like it when my boyfriend is upset with me, so i would, especially at the beginning of our relationship, just not tell him stuff that would be potentially trouble. not trouble with a "T" but little stuff, stupid stuff ... and he would catch it and then get upset with a "U". i have *pretty* much conquered this one ... but recognize i need to stay on top of it. <br/> <br/>in social situations i don't like being a confrontational person, the person who disagrees or calls bullshit. hell, i hate being confrontational ever. but i am pushing myself to be more true to myself in these situations. i am learning that the dishonesty behind keeping my mouth shut does NOT smooth the way for better friendships. it only causes misunderstandings. <br/> <br/>examples <br/> <br/>... guy touching me in a crowd, unwanted i might add. before i would have shrunk away from him and avoided him, feeling creeped out. now i purposefully tell him in view of several people to NOT do it and that it isn't acceptable. <br/> <br/>... got dumped by cute marine boy but the manner of dumping was a lack of communication about our next date after he had made it clear there would be one. just nothing. i dug up his email addy and, knowing it would make no difference to him, wrote him about honor and standing up for ones decisions and communicating them to others involved. i mean, he could have made up an excuse and not left me hanging and all would have been good. <br/> <br/>... a girlfriend stops calling me. similar to above, after several months of wondering what was up ... i left a message stating i didn't know why she didn't want to talk to me, that i still considered her a friend, and maybe we could talk about it. of course she didn't call back and i still have no idea why but i made the effort to put myself out there instead of dropping it from the get go. its amazing how fast my heart will race when i am confronting a problem, even one so small as this, because it is so far outside my previous norm. <br/> <br/>... cute boy comes in bar. i want his number. after the across-the-bar eye contact goes on for awhile (i am playing pool and he is playing shuffleboard) he walks by to observe my "game" on the way to the bathroom. i walk by and decide to have a girl power moment. i look at him over my shoulder and tell him "you are NOT leaving this bar without giving me your number." yeah, he gave it to me, but i was more proud of the manner in which i asked than the digits. <br/> <br/>why oh why oh why didn't i learn while i was younger that these sorts of things are not hard, that they are good for you, and they can have amazingly good results. i still have to push myself to be this person i want to be. but its getting easier.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://pushtheenvelope.tribe.net">Push The Envelope</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>So...the year is almost over and boy has it been quiet in here. <br/> <br/>How do you see yourself pushing envelopes in 2004? I'm in the fortunate position of being able to look forward to some extremely radical changes in my life as I move from the small town I've called home for the past ten years to return to the big city I grew up in and have longed to go back to. It could be glorious or disasterous, but one way or another it will be a powerful catalyst for change and growth within myself. I aim to make the most of it, leaping into the jaws of opportunities as they arise rather than standing back contemplating the balance of risk vs. potential reward until the opportunity passes as I've been apt to do. </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://pushtheenvelope.tribe.net">Push The Envelope</a> - 9 replies </div>

<div> <br/>Ok, I'm out. I'm celibate... <br/> <br/>For the past year and a half or so, it has been a conscious lifestyle choice, a spiritual quest within. I have learned many things about my self. <br/> <br/>(that is a purposeful misspelling for you semantic warriors out there...) <br/> <br/>realization() <br/> <br/>var "self" <br/>{ <br/>my self != myself; <br/>} <br/>return self <br/> <br/>(code warriors flame on!) <br/> <br/>This is totally pushing one of my envelopes you see. What once was locked inside for safe keeping, shown only to precious few and trusted souls, is now public domain. <br/> <br/>&amp;lt;pseudopcychophilosophicalbabble> <br/> <br/>What I have learned the most from this time is how to deal with that which lies on the other side of desire. It is the other side of the envelope. The two, desire and no desire, define the envelope. Through abstaining from that which I desire I am better able to define one aspect of the envelope and glimpse what may lie on the other side, freedom from desire. Through an understanding of the interplay of the two I may push, or retreat. I may willfully predict that which enters my sphere and that which departs, and honor them all in the passing. One moment to the next. <br/> <br/>&amp;lt;/pseudopcychophilosophicalbabble> <br/> <br/>I have also recently fallen off this path which leads to my next question. <br/> <br/>Does anybody know where to get the good pussy in this town?
