Congrats on your collar first and foremost Helena! i can see everyone's point of view here, but there is nothing quite like having your submission so visible to others around you. Again, location location location is right! Bless your heart denu!! Doesn't it suck when conformity is no longer an option?? As a single mom of two teenage boys in a small town, i have truly learned that *my* feelings aren't the only ones that are important. Such a bitch, but true nonetheless. i would never want my actions to embarrass or draw negative attention to my sons in any way, so discretion is often the better part of valor *chuckles softly*

Now when i was young and childless??? Different story all together. There is a time and a place for everything and i find it extremely erotic to be leashed. Of course, since i live in a part of the country where i'm not even sure a Dom exists.....LMAO.....it's not been an issue as of late!!! i DO know that it would be frowned upon heavily here in the middle of the Bible Belt *shrugs*. Heck, they are still arguing over wether or not people have the right to have a glass of wine on Sundays down here!!!! Topless beaches would send them into perma-shock!! *giggling*

*smiles* whatever works for you and Your Master Helena......i hope you get to enjoy many more *walks* if that's what makes you both happy!
