I agree with both Pixie and Amber. My sexuality is just that: mine. It is my concern and my business and I choose who I tell about it. And quite frankly, what Master and I do together is none of my family's business. Some of my friends know that I am a sub, but not all of them know. I pick and choose what I tell people anyway. I may be open about some things on this forum and others, but no one knows everything. My life is not an open book to people and chapters of it will always remain closed to others. And this is especially true when it comes to my family. Am I ashamed of what Master and I do and the fact that I am a sub? No, not at all. I have always been a private person. That is why I will have my own personal journal but will never have a blog and why I will never have a Facebook or My Space account. My private life is just that: private.
