Ok I recently moved back to my home town (think smallish town in W Texas) and am trying to do what I can to make new friends (and ignore the old fair-weather friends.)
Anyway, was talking last night and overheard a few people talking about how someone had found a flogger at a new boyfriends place. They were going on how stuff like that is just perverted and how could anyone think stuff like that was acceptable.
Bad thing is I kinda joined the talk and corrected them on a few points (such as the fact that a soft deer-hide flogger couldn't cause more then a red mark even when swung by someone my size.) Guess I was just sick of listening to their half-thought out bullshit.
So I outed myself. I just shrugged it off and went on with the night but I did notice a few disapproving looks I got (and not even going to talk about the whispers I ignored). Made for an interesting night to say the least.
I'm not really involved with the scene anymore and was never really hardcore when I was but, it's not like a lot of people accept someone who's at all kinky when you've known them a while.
Guess I need to learn to keep my mouth shut huh?
