As someone who is somewhat casually interested in the lifestyle, I was curious how those of you who have "milder" relationships met.
We met about 2 years ago through mutual friends and fell in love, and then he discovered that I was into BDSM. He is a cop in the military and had a pair of handcuffs, I was looking at them, always secretly wanting him to put them on me, but never having the guts to ask. He put them on me intending it only to be a joke and then leaned over to kiss me. We ended up having a fierce make out session, and he learned from that how crazy I got when I was restrained. He then started holding me down during play and it just escalated from there . He's not as into the BDSM lifestyle as I am, but he's learning more and more each time and slowly getting more and more into being a Dom.
