Even if I catch feelings for someone, I just think of them as a lover that I, well, love. I haven't had a boyfriend or any kind of significant other in almost a decade, and the boyfriends I did have were not nearly as interested in sex as I was.
So in my case, I haven't gotten to try out as many fantasies and kinks as I would like because that trust isn't there. I'm not going to let a stranger tie me up, for example. I won't let a stranger spank me with any implement that could inflict real damage (e.g., wooden paddle, riding crop with metal base).
I guess I've seen the other side, have had one night stands where anything went; long term lovers seem more restrained or shy; not exactly sure why.
