<p>You have made me realize how much this is so. I wish I had realized this when I filled out the questionnaire for Drs. Somer & Bigelow. If they ask for a follow-up, I will add that. So much of what I think of as "me" in my "real life" has been impacted by my DD's.</p>

<p>Yes, people often comment that I am into so many different things - always interested in something. Many of these things are DD-driven. So I see this as a real plus of this syndrome. I didn't think of that until your entry. So many of my interests would never have happened otherwise. I think MD has made not only my life richer, but me a more interesting & enthusiastic person.</p>

<p>I have been totally fascinated by both & read up lots about them. Even learned a bit of Scottish & Lakota Sioux. My Lakota name is Taka-Kola, which means friend of the Deer People.

My Scot name is Maeve MacGregor & I am related to Rob Roy (MacGregor). Have you studied the different eras you have lived through? Wear different clothes? Cook different foods. We used to have dinners about once a month on-line here that focused on different cultures/ time periods. Once we did medieval England & came up with a menu that went with that. I remember the roast chicken in honey & marvelous spinach tarts. Another dinner was Indian; another Norwegian, where I learned about lingonberries that are really yummy.</p> That is really cool.

<p>That would seem to be the best way to do it. Funny how most of us can not really control that aspect of it. It is interesting, in fact, to consider how much control we have. I feel I have generally balanced/ managed my time with DD'ing, as I merge it with real life. And the scripts are my own. My persona is of my own making, constantly changing though it is. The object of infatuation is not - I guess just like in real life, really. Hmm... </p>

<p>I think those of us who use celebrities in our romantic DD's all wish we could do that. I try to use fictional (from novels) characters & use actors faces. Sometimes that works, but never seems as intense.</p>

<p>There are some really interesting looking (at least that) women who are thought to be bi-sexual. Amber Heard says she is - currently Johnny Depp's girl friend, I think. Angelina Jolie, Lindsay Lohan, Anna Paquin. I realize that they all have relationship, too - maybe even more, since they are open to everyone. I just wondered whether their bi-sexuality would be appealing, or not so much.</p>

<p>I've read current research in American Medical Journal that was very interesting. It said that whereas most women were homosexual or heterosexual, there was still a sizable minority that fit on the continuum and were not strictly 1 or the other, even though most of these did settle into 1 life style or another - usually straight. Men, on the other hand, were almost entirely 1 or the other. Those believing thy are bi usually eventually acknowledge being gay. I thought that was interesting. They had all sorts of biological/ hormonal theories as to why the difference.</p> Funny you say that Portia DR…tag:wildminds.ning.com,2013-08-13:4661400:Comment:1537212013-08-13T21:38:45.582ZLisa slaterhttps://wildminds.ning.com/profile/Lisaslater
Funny you say that Portia DR was in my world many years ago, in her Ally McBeal days about 15 years ago. I think ay actual relationship bothers me. I quite enjoy the new story lines when I have to change them because of finding iut differrent things, but I get to a real point of obsessing in reality occasionally which I have to stop, researching etcbut usually I keep both worlds separate.

There are loads of lesbian actresses but I get new story lines with tv programmes and movies and usually my world links to people in those.<br />

<p>Wow, you have my total sympathy. That is such a hard situation to be in. Have you ever fantasized about anyone gay? Like Portia DiRossi - course she is married, but I have always been able to explain away existing relationships. I don't know if you can do that. She is so gorgeous. Who are the other lesbian actresses? It would seem much easier for them to come out as I think, as a society, we are much more accepting of lesbian relationships than gay ones.

I have some gay male friends who - in real life - actually prefer straight men, so maybe that is your situation.</p>
<p>Trying to stop would make me totally nuts. I find balancing the 2 worlds is the only thing that works for me. I am older than you and have been doing this a long time. You can have access to both worlds, I do believe.</p>
