Behind friendly lines

JustGreenie - I have found my friends and family to be more accepting than I originally thought, yes there are some comments that are made but I prefer to be out and open than hiding my authentic self

InfantryDoc - It's pretty interesting at times. I suppose on a personal level, it may be easier than anticipated.

Banféinní​(sub female) - I’m sorry but I struggle to see why keeping our “kink” sides hidden in our professional lives is an issue. There are so many personal things we naturally do not share in are professional lives.

Those who report to me certainly do not share intimate details with me. It would be highly inappropriate. Plus I simply do not care. My role is to empower and foster their professional growth, not their sexual nor relational dynamic growth.

Is it simply an issue because of starting with the assumption that you are different? Or simply curiosity of those around you? Either way there are professional lines that should never be crossed which extend to areas far beyond “kink”.

InfantryDoc - I agree with everything you've said. I suppose for me it's the reaction that interests me. I simply wonder how those around my sphere would react.

Sunshinegirl​(sub female) - I feel like in the age of the internet people have more access to kinky knowledge and are generally more accepting. Ive never brought up my kinks in a professional setting because it’s simply not appropriate.

TreasureMe​(sub female){Consumed} - I've personally told my parents and siblings about 6 months into my submissive journey. They've even read my blogs and support my writing in every capacity that I choose to explore it, along with my choice of relationship. I never wanted to feel like what I was doing was wrong or should be hidden like a dirty little secret. They don't need to know the details, but I didn't want anyone I was in a dynamic with to feel any less of my respect and reverence at any given moment. So to my family, this person isn't just my boyfriend, but my partner, my teammate, my Sir and that's the part that matters to me. If I'm on a call with my Dominant and I say "Yes Sir", it won't be an odd or abnormal occurrence. And whether my family agrees, understands or chooses to have the same kind of relationship I choose to have, would be irrelevant.

Beautiful eyes​(sub female){Taken} - I wish you well with it, my friends we only concerned with my safety but they know, trust and love me. Its still scary admitting to something that is who you are. Xx
