I also have mixed feelings about being a submissive...but it certainly isn't about my family accepting me. It's none of their business what my sex life is like, or how my relationships are conducted. (Unless of course I'm in an abusive relationship, and then of course I know they'd step in).

I am not open at all about my relationships (sexually wise) with my family, nor do I feel I should be. I'm quite sure they don't wouldn't want to hear about it anyways. lol.

Do you feel ashamed because you want to 'come out' to them about being submissive, being tied up, etc...and they wouldn't accept that?

Your "master" doesn't need to be a secret. :- ) If you feel like you need to share things about your relationship with your family then do so, leaving out the fact that you call him "Master." They do not need to know how you feel about being told what to do or that you might like being tied up. Being truthful and open doesn't mean you need to spill your entire guts - not even to family.


P.S. It sounds like you have an online relationship going with this Dom, if you do intend to meet him please be careful. I am a huge worry-wort though, and I just had to say something to make myself feel better. (But seriously, be careful!) Best of luck with everything.
