I had to chuckle as I read this because I have Springer on in the background (New season and all). And in thinking about it, I'm probably more embarrassed that I watch Springer everyday than I am about being into bdsm!
I guess one of the advantages of getting a little older is that I couldn't care less about most people's opinion. I think bdsm is one of those things where...either you get it or you don't. If most people don't, that's their loss. I actually get a kick out of it when vanilla friends are over because they have to walk through the bedroom to get to the bathroom. Not once has anyone asked about the big I-bolts sticking out of the walls next to the bed...but you know damn well they noticed! My cleaning girl & her boyfriend have been good friends of my g/f & I for years and she has never said one word about it! (Even though I know she's dying to ask).
Back on topic...as much as I hate to admit that I am one of them...the opinion of your average Springer fan really wouldn't mean much to me one way or the other.
Oh...and for the record, I live in a condo, not a trailer!
