Do Family, Friends, Co-Workers know you're into BDSM?

[EdwardsOtherSide]

I agree! It "shows up" in the pheromone cloud and is palpable, IMHO.

This.
My job is a very professional environment but somehow a curious co-worker decided I was the guy to ask about shibari.

I would make a joke that it is because I used to be a sailor (US Coast Guard), but there are several former sailors where I work (USCG and Navy).

...now where did I put my copy of Ashley Book of Knots?

Only people I know are fellow ho's like me. My owner and her friends. My family? They have no idea, boo.

One person knows. She's not a co-worker but we both work in the same building, so we knew each other in passing. We found out we were both into bdsm when we showed up at a meet and greet that had been set up on line. We've been friends ever since.

Its a closely held secret, which is difficult because it leaves you little chance to discuss feelings or thoughts. I told a close friend about a year ago so she gets the brunt of my frustrations.

My family have become aware. I got myself into a situation that needed discussion and explanation.

Are you willing to share? (I like hearing about situations and stories here)

 

[AprilTwenties]

Yeah, most people know. I'm owned and work as a streetwalker for her. She hooks also. She introduced me to her work colleagues as 'This is April. This is the bitch that I own. She hooks for me. Say hello April', and I had to say hi. So, yeah, boo, they already know. Snigger a bit but who cares after 14 years.

I'm reasonably open about my lifestyle, but don't divulge details. My daughter knows more than I'm happy about due to gossip.

 

[Showmewhatchugot84]

No one knows I love being submissive to my wife, and others online. I'm masculine in all aspects of my life. Not that being submissive is unmasculine, just can be perceived as such from ignorance.

 

[Playwithmee]

No one knows my kinks other than those I share them with in private. I’m the corporate family man and gentleman in public and nothing of the sort in private.

 

[Goldenfinger]

Any of my wife’s friends who she’s told I wear a cage have all accidentally bumped into me.

 

[funguy4u100]

It's a very small group that knows...like one!

 

[SPARTAN047]

Some of my lovers friends but they didn't really say much or want to join in. And I want it to stay that way.

 

[Moodymilf]

So friends its a no. Anyone i knew in those types of circles i drifted away from when i got married. But i have an Aunty i share a lot with. I share pretty much everything with her.

 

[davion2308]

My coworker knows.

I'm in a book club that's recent and the folks were talking about semi-erotic books since the club is six women and me, a guy. Long story, short, one coworker and I were discussing erotic fiction, the conversation moved into the mechanics of BDSM and dom/sub relationships and she was really excited that I had an idea of what it was. We talked, nothing really sexy, but it was fun to reveal that side of myself to someone who knows me.

 

[Exploringwife46]

Just a very close friend. I wish I could live more openly about that part of my personality. Making Lit friends has been very helpful.
