even though I had many fantasies and saw some magazines, moving to San Francisco when I was 21 allowed me to see that I could fulfill some of my fantasies. It was 1978 when a woman, with no prompting, came up to me and introduced herself to me in this way.
"Hi, my name is Karen, I am into S&M" You just gotta love San Fran. We became friends (buit sadly never played together). I also found several clubs in the area. Luckily San Fran was pretty wide open sexually. So it actually wasn't as terrifying and disruptive as my friend Rhabbi's experiences.
If I was still in Texas, Iprobably would have just had the urges and never experienced them.
