Please take this thread light heartedly. No names, no pack drill.......

There you are pootering along in your little vanilla world, doing the things that other 'normal' people do, and one night you try a bit of spanking and wham, you're a kinkster!

Not a fully-fledged member maybe, but you've now earned a pass through the portal. Once seen, are you claimed, marked, 'collared' by the kinky underworld? Do you belong, like it or not? Can you ever go back, forget it, pretend you know nothing? Has your innocence been destroyed? Have you 'crossed the line'?

And wandering around this Hellish Wonderland, are you ever mystified, revolted or shocked by what 'your' people are doing to each other?
"My God, it was only a bit of spanking. I'm not like that!"

How do we suddenly develop blanket toleration for all perverted practices when in the 'real' world we're as prejudiced and judgemental as come out?

Would anyone care to confess to a time you winced and thought, 'Bloody hell, how weird can people get?" before you remembered a split second later that you're one of 'them' too? :
