I have spent a lot of time thinking about what I want out of romance, and love in my life in the last few months. You see...I'm not exactly adonis, so the dating game doesn't come easily for me, which is why I spend so much time considering where I should be setting my standards. And here's where watersports comes into play.
I believe that true love means never having a secret. Your partner has to know and at least understand everything there is to know about you, IMHO, for communication and trust to reach the level necesarily to sustain a long-term committed relationship.
Being of fairly strong intellegence puts me on a different wave-length than those around me in many instances, so it is of the utmost importance that whoever I see would have to be (a) open-minded, and (b) able to truely understand my odd quirks...including this one.
For that reason I don't believe I could have a relationship with someone who didn't share at least some small amount of the interest in watersports, because this is a fetish that is bizarre enough in my mind that for my partner not to like it would leave something out...it would be too fundamental a difference to work. I would also feel like I were ignoring a part of my soul. If I was not able to enguage in this little habit with my partner, I'd really feel unfulfilled.
Which brings me to my question...is that an immature thought...something I should grow out of, or are there others who also believe that lovers should share some fundamental sexual interests...be compatible in bed?
