The near-exact opposite of Fifty Shades: Not only did you do the research, it's a healthy relationship.

Funny coincidence that this was posted the same day as this post crossed my feed elsewhere.

For the frequency of their appearances alone, there were a few of the expert witnesses who effectively qualified as regulars. Attorneys tended to pass around lists of those who would be willing to speak on a client's behalf and in any case, there were only so many ponies who truly knew about certain subjects. Those who would step into the witness stall to explain, in careful, common terms, exactly what had gone wrong. And some were simply authorities in established categories of sexual interest. Because things happened when ponies came up with the entirely new and chose to experiment -- but civil cases also arose when somepony viewed a known path for the first time and decided to get experiment al .

Late 1940s, the Kinsey reports on human sexuality was ground breaking.

A BIG criticism is that "The subjects were not chosen randomly.". (Mostly male prostitutes & jailed sex offendors.)

Oh & according to Kinsey the LGBTGQ+ was only about 1&1/2% of the population.

I did not expect that to be so wholesome. Hope things work out for Goldie and Braeö.

That was wholesome.

Oh my god that was adorable as hell.

Yup, this was where the wholesome overwhelmed the funny. Unexpected and very pleasant surprise!

This was very very good. You did a great job of encapsulating the bdsm community experience. That is to say, those that actually PRACTICE proper safe work. Theres Munches, theres workshops, safety and training seminars. Its a lot of work and research and negotiation and coaching that goes into every scene, all meticulously planned out for safety and comfort. Not many can WRITE a good bdsm story without just devolving into pure eroticism. The fact that its represented here as Power Exchange is perfect. Well done again well done.

This made me tear up a bit, because it's just... sweet, and is real in a way a lot of media doesn't get. Loved the ending! Very heartfelt. Wishing for nothing but the best for Goldie. Kinky ponies make do, and a lot of bdsm really is DIY after a point, unless you want to spend an extreme amount of money for something that is likely far worse than you could learn to make.

What other people said about the wholesomeness (and the research). But I have a question about the name "Braeö." It seems familiar, but I cannot place it, and Google is useless except that it may be Old English. If you don't mind sharing, where did you pull the name from?
