I agree with subtly shy - especially if they are Doms they should understand and NOT think of you as week. They know how much strength it takes to be submissive and how the last thing a submissive is, is a weak, mindless thing. We are something special, something to be valued and treasured.

To be honest, I envy you a little bit - to have friends who are already living the livestyle, who understand. My friends would never understand... they'd send me to a shrink and blame it on insecurities of childhood traumas and start quoting psychology on me, remind me of all my strong literary heroines.
They wouldn't understand that this simply completes me... and how beautiful it is.
