Probably a lot of people can say the same thing.
Yup. I got started thanks to a long-departed book I found in my adult brother's library when I was 14. There WAS no Internet then, and no computers smaller than a car. I thought I was weird for a long time, then I matured to the point of knowing just who I was and accepting it. About the same time, the net appeared and I started learning more about my kink. I'm in the 50+ crowd now, as is my partner.
