Monogamy As The Ultimate BDSM

I have a friend who has recently committed herself to sexual monogamy. She's a poly girl who has fallen in love with a monogamous man and that's their arrangement--for the time being at least. Maybe for good. He was not willing to be in relationship with her unless she was willing to make this agreement with him and as she didn't want to lose him, that's the choice she made. She really loves this guy and recently uprooted her life to move hundreds of miles to be with him. From everything I have seen, his feelings for her are mutual. She's happy about the move and is busy settling into their new place. She's unpacking and painting and making the house a home. Their home. Sometimes she wonders about this decision she's made, and seems to sooth herself with the idea that nothing is set in stone. She talks about their arrangement as being a fluid contract. She's living for right now and right now, this feels right to her. I think it's rather kinky myself. What--you never thought of a traditionally structured monogamous relationship with vanilla flavoring as kinky? The beauty of it all came to me awhile back when I was pondering how her decision could be serving her best interests, specifically sexually, as this is where many of her relationship issues tend to challenge her. Thing is, besides being polyamorous, she is also fairly kinky so I humbly submit that this monogamous role suits her well. Think about it. What better way to play out your Bondage and Submission fantasies than to give away your power to choose who you will and will not have sex with? Now if she could only get him to start tying her up.
