How does the way you communicate in your BDSM relationships influence the way you communicate in your mundane relationships?
For me, it's consent. I am hyper aware of all the little ways people in the mundane world have no respect for consent. From "awww come on" from one friend to another who doesn't want to have a beer or to a family member who nags "just stay a little longer" when another family member says they have to leave, people are constantly trying to control you. From spending so much time in BDSM I've come to expect people to respect my "no" so it's always shocking out in the mundane world when people just try to steam roll my "no".
What about you?
