Who Knows? Your Family? Your Friends?

[RG_]

Let's start a new topic.

Who knows about your kink, or who do you suspect knows about it? How do you feel about that?

Only 1 person knows. I finally took the leap of faith and shared it with my other half only to find out she is repulsed by that. How embarassing to share a deep secret to be shot down. At first I thought maybe she'll come around. It's been many years of dropping hints, but no pants have been dropped yet.

My family has no clue. None of my vanilla friends know either. For better or worse, I prefer it that way as none of them could handle the info from what I've seen. Oh well

As a kid and a teen, my best girlfriend knew that I got spanked as punishment by my grandmother. She was also subject to spanking punishments so we had a common ground. But after I had some spanking 'adventures' with boys I could never quite bring myself to talk with her about it, although I did hint about it.

The boys who spanked me in my preteen and teen years (there were three) should remember those episodes, but probably didn't understand that deep down I was, and am, really a submissive bottom. I didn't really understand it then myself at a deep level, and it wasn't until after I met my guy that I everything opened up and was made clear to me. But that still didn't mean that I went shouting it to the mountaintops!

My guy and I are very private in our spanking relationship, which is largely foreplay for us, with some 'therapy" as well for stress relief. I suspect however than my good friend Michelle knows or suspects, although I've never discussed it openly. But she would be the only one, and she would see it as the sexual foreplay that it is.

I took a smiliar risk with similar results. Years later she seems to view it as an eccentricity of mine now and I suspect thinks its not a big deal. But it was a big deal that led me to seek out like minded people. The only others who know are pen pals from a spanking newsletter and the one woman I did meet and played with for a few years.

I think a co-worker or two might suspect I have an interest, but that haven't a clue to what degree. I work with a building full of women and it is not uncommon to hear playful smacks followed by protests and giggles there. My reaction when I'm smacked "unaware" is a jump then a turning of the other cheek. I always insist that I'm not sent on my way feeling lopsided all day. tee hee. They are always willing to oblige. Now as for the rest of my small little vanilla world...no one knows, nor do I think they would understand.
Yellow, I am sorry to hear that you feel shot down by sharing your interest with your other half. Not being understood is difficult. I appluad your courage and honesty in sharing.

Practically all of my vanilla friends are aware of what I do, and more than one girl always wants a swat or two when the drinks start flowing

As open as I am though, I do everything in my power to keep this from my family, even if they do live 3500 miles away.

Well, Rich, not to worry. I mean, it's not like you have your picture spanking beautiful girls plastered all over the Internet, or like you're doing spanking videos for commerical companies, or anything like that. I'm sure that your secret is safe.

Well I did tell my best friend I was interested in it one night when we were having a girl's get-together. She was fine with it. I mean it isn't like I have a lot to tell her...just an interest at this point. My best friend would pretty much support me in anything though. She's great.

It's hard to say who else might suspect. I have a tendency sometimes to do stuff just to see if I'll get a reaction. (like I emailed my mom and dad a link to a game called Slap Dat! http://www.slapdat.co.uk/ that is about smacking bottoms...my dad liked it...my mom thought it was disgusting!) LOL

Iggy you wouldn't be a bit mischievious now would you ? It sounds like we would get a long great, lol
