Lets be clear about this...

Someone asked me a question about S&M lately, and it baffles me how many people are ashamed of an interest in bondage. It's not violent, it's not scary (when done correctly) and it is NOT rape.

I like being tied up. I have a black leather collar with a charm that says "Pet" on it. I like being led around partied and clubs on a leash. I can tie a number of knots, and often explain to newbies how to tie someone up correctly so they don't cut off circulation. I have a high pain tolerance, and although I CAN play dom, I prefer to be the one kneeling.

I am not at all embarrassed by it. There is a certain thrill that comes of not being in control, of just doing what you're told. It's freeing. In my day to day life I do NOT like being controlled, but in the right environment I'll put the collar on myself.
