THANK YOU Mikayla for your reply. This brings me to another potential solution that i wanted to get your feedback on - do you think of instead of asking her to tell me stories about her past, i can ask her to make up stories involving her and another guy? or would this make her feel like she's cheating on me? i dont think i would ever want her to do that, its just that the thought of her with someone else is a bit of a turn on. we've explored using toys and she likes to use them from time to time and i've encouraged her to use some nicely sized ones. maybe incoroprating the toys and the stories might work? thanks again for your time.
