Okay so im late as always but better late then never.

I have a best friend, who knows, i came out to him becuase he is well, my best friend. He's openly gay, so he knows what it feels like to harbor a secret like this, that you just want to scream it to the world. He thinks im weird, and crazy but nonetheless understands, and accepts me, and my choice. I talk to him about it all the time, and he doenst mind at all.

My parents on the other hand, for-fucking-get about it. I can talk to my parents openly about my sex life, but when it comes to details its a no thank you. I do not live with them, so therefore they cant walk in on me tied up, or standing in a corner naked. *blushes* Or find my restraints,collars,whips, crops, or canes. So for that i am thankful!

Like Denu you said, you can talk about relationship issues til your blue in the face with anyone, but do they need to know details, thats up to how comfortable you are with that person, or how open minded that person is.

Im just thankful i have a lof of freinds into BDSM, and my best friend, so that i dont go insane (well more so then i am).
