My step-mom doesn't know, but she has been amazingly tolerant of two of my siblings coming out that they are gay. When she was younger, I would have never thought she could handle anything outside the norm in this area. I was wrong about her, but I still have absolutely no intention of her finding out this info, even if pets have to die to prevent it.

I have always had this aura of being "The" black-sheep of the family, but I'm pretty sure that my BDSM activities would solidify my perament hold on the family title. My brothers would certainly bust my chops, but outside of this sure never-ending humiliation, a family BDSM outing would not really effect me much.

My younger sister, who I'm close with, knows and she has admitted a vague interest in some BDSM. Vaguely admitted would be closer to the truth. I'm still a little in the dark about how she really feels about what I've told her. It might fall in the category of over-share.

Now, my in-laws I'm sure would have an intervention if they found out. We would walk in and the toy bag's contents would be laid out on table in front of that entire side of the family plus clergy plus someone from social services that specializing in domestic abuse. The intervention, of course, would first open with a prayer.

Everyone would be staring at me with loathing and at my wife with pity, when it's pointed out to me "that it takes a pretty disturbed man to do these kind of things to a woman" <like they have ANY kind of idea what kinda things are really going on just by looking at the toy bag> and "what do you have to say for yourself?" This last question is a no-brainer for me. I'm dropping straight to my knees, at my Domme's feet, and asking "Goddess, am I allowed to reply?" <the now totally doomed sub would be staring at the carpet at this point>
