I haven't directly said "I am into BDSM" to anyone I socialize with at work. I have no off work people I associate with, as I just dont care to spend the time to do so. I recenlty got a nickname from some of the people i worked with cause I was looking through a harbor freight catalog that I gotten in the mail, well they had a "decrotive ball & chain" for sale. I commented that I would enjoy having it, and so now they call me Chains. Over the course of the years some of them figured out what I am into, and have asked questions about where to buy stuff, where to learn more, where to meet people. I freely give this information out.
I don't hide who I am for anyone excpet my family, they are just too religious and conservitive to be able to even understand. Aside from them, I don't hide it, but I also don't run around with a banner that screams what I am into.
