The Lifestyle vs. The World: conforming

[Jaeger]

I always enjoy letting little things slip in conversation. Remember when you were young, and would maybe hear a sexually themed joke but not understand it?

Sometimes I'll mention little terms and phrases, that most Vanilla folks won't understand, just to see them nod and smile because they haven't a clue.

It's great fun. I call other people Vanilla sometimes, and they usually have no idea what I'm talking about, and even if they do it tends to bring a laugh rather than a frown.

In my experience, people who don't agree with the lifestyle don't know enough about it to pick up on little phrases and nuances.

Slick idea Jaeger.


(I remember the first time I saw Goldfinger... and didn't understand the Pussy Galore reference. LOL)

It is true that we need not lead one another around on leashes in public, and thus don't need to expose our sexuality that way.

However, if you want to invite people into your home, it can be a dilemma - do you hide the books/DVDs/cage/etc?

And for me, the biggest issue is in being a stay-at-home slave. Friends and family all find it very odd that I should be a 'househusband' when we have no children, and assume that I will be looking for work sooner or later.

Still, I personally recommend 'coming out' to anybody to whom you feel close enough. It's remarkably liberating.
