I've just joined and found my way to the introduction thread, so thought I'd say "hello"!

I'm 38ish and I've been a little kinked for as long as I can remember. Not really sure why - no traumatic experiences as a child or anything like that. I've tried ignoring my fantasties and desires on many occasions but, no use.

Some years back I met a lovely lady and, some years later we got married. I didn't tell her about my kink before we were married and I regret that - it wasn't fair on either of us. I opened up to her a year or so into our marriage after another failed attempt at pushing my fantasies into the closet for good. It was a hairy moment. Fortunately, she accepted the fact that I wasn't some monster about to kill her or anything and I'm still very happily married to her.

My wife and I have ventured into the world of bondage together a few times. Nothing heavy, just me tieing her up. I've read quite a bit over the years so have plenty of 'theoretical' experience, just not much practical. My wife enjoys being tied up, as do I, and I'm more than happy to oblige!

Recently though I've been wishing we could take things a little further. I would love to show her some of the books I've read, or bring her to sites like this to introduce her a little more to the lifestyle. Although she enjoys being tied, she still can't shake the thought of it not being 'normal'. That's where we are now, and that's why I've come to this site.

So, if anyone has been in a similar situation and would like to tell me how they handled it I would be very pleased to hear!

Nice to "meet" you all!
