If they don't know, would you ever consider telling them? Do you suspect they know anyway? How do you think they'd react?
My parents don't "know," but I think they suspect. After going out of town to visit Daddy for the weekend, I came home to discover that someone had been cleaning my side of the house. I had inadvertantly left my bag out that I take to the dungeon, and it was unzipped because I'd needed the alcohol to clean my navel ring. I noticed it had been moved so someone could vacuum. Plus, I have a copy of "Different Loving" lying out as well as "Story of O" and "The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty." It wouldn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out. Ever since then, I've had to endure comments from my step-dad in reference to kinky sex and questions from my mom about how I know certain things and what kind of club I'm going to. I know that they know something, but I dodge the questions because I know that they really don't want to know, you know?

My sister and brother-in-law know because I told them as well as one of my cousins. We're like friends and discuss sex, etc. All my close friends know because we discuss sex all the time. In fact, one couple is into swinging. One couple is into kink but not D/s. One couple is into BDSM. One friend isn't into anything, but she's open minded. I have a few friends who are more like acquaintances. They don't discuss their sex life, so I don't discuss mine.
