i used to be ashamed of what i was into. me and my Dom now were in a vanilla relationship before and He started off showing me what it was about and i secretly started researching it and finding out wwhat BDSM was really about, i hid it from Him for 3 months, and when He ended the relationship i was devestated and i was upset i never really told Him my obsession with the lifestyle. thank god He gave me another chance to explain how i felt about it all. now all is well. now for my parents... they wpuldnt accept my choice to be in this kinda relationship but i dotn caare what anyone thinks. i love my Dom with all my heart and wouldnt trade it for the world being with Him.
