Master's best friend and his wife knows about our lifestyle, and has known about Master's inclinations for years. I am not entirely convinced they understand it though. They think they are kinky because they watch (vanilla) porn and own a couple of vibrators.

But we aren't in their face about it either. They come to our house, and there is no evidence of what we get up to behind closed doors.

I haven't told anyone myself. Oddly enough, I would tell my brother and his wife, if only they weren't related. If I was just a friend to them I think they would be very accepting and understanding, but as my protective older brother I just don't think he could handle it. And that's fine.

But it honestly doesn't bother me that much. I wouldn't feel the need to share details of my vanilla sex life to people, and don't need to share my BDSM one either. Our relationship is still our relationship and we don't hide anything about that... we just keep the private details, private.

I don't expect everyone to understand it either. I live the lifestyle now, and years ago I thought it was extreme, abusive, and involved being kept in a cage all day. It took me YEARS to understand the truth. I wouldn't expect someone never exposed to it to "get it" after a single conversation.
