Communication is important in any relationship, even moreso when kinks are involved! I brought up bondage with my girlfriend. I was nervous but it turned out she was curious, so I bought some nice cuffs and we're working from there.

I'm a really blunt person, so I just brought up what interested me. All my most recent partners have been really receptive and had ideas of their own to suggest as well, so just talking about things has worked well for me. I think it helps to discuss your potential interests in a non-sexual setting, i.e. not in the bedroom, especially if you're feeling shy/vulnerable about brining the subject up.

I put other because while I did bring it up it took him three years or so to decide to try it for real. Before that he just dabbled with me but now he's starting to like it more and more.

Patience is the best advice I can offer.

I always meet people at BDSM events, or introduce them to it myself : )

I just tell my partners I like bdsm and see what their reaction is. I answer any questions they have an ease them into it with a little teasing and pinning and move into scenes later.

Communication. If you're interested in something, let your partner know. Talk about it. You may be shy, but communication is the key to a strong relationship. *ESPECIALLY* if you want to add bdsm to your relationship.

i've been and known i was kinky since before i met my current Mistress. She, however, was not actively kinky before meeting me, though She had latent interest. Shortly after Wwe met, i told Her that i was a submissive and a masochist, that it was part of my identity and that it was how i wanted to conduct my relationships. It was important to me that She be onboard before the relationship progressed very far because i don't think i could really be in a vanilla relationship again. Kink, submission, service and pain are part of who i am that i can't just ignore or push aside and someone who is in a relationship with me needs to accept all of me, including the kinky parts.

Don't call it that. Got the Penetration Station to be "more comfortable" and use a black eye mask for extra sensory when playing but I think that's as far as BDSM he will go.

I printed off some stuff about bdsm from different websites and mentioned that I was interested in it. He took a look and was interested too and we went from there. Now we are a TPE M/s couple.

I was lucky. She was a top, and she didn't even know that I was submissive when she told me that she wanted to try BDSM. It was very bold of her, and I'm glad she said something because I probably would have been way too shy for too long.

All I had to do was tell my partner. I'm mostly a dom, but I like it when she is a dom as well. Most of the time we switch back and forth. She likes to be spanked, but I can't seem to get her into nipple clamps.

I asked my boyfriend although he was too nervous about accidentally hurting me to do anything. With a lot of encouragement, he found his dominant side.
