my girl and I have been playing around, slowly introducing more at our own comfort rates over the last 2 years in our 4.5 year relationship . Started off with blindfolds and handcuffs, now I am making whole rope bondage for her, tying her down and am able to do almost whatever I want with her.... its coming along

My husband is very interested in being restrained and paddled though we haven't actually tried anything yet. Maybe soon. I'm doing some research here on EF.

I've been actively involved with play and various lifestyle related events for 5 or 6 years, but have been kink curious for awhile and did some introductory experimentation in high school.

Very light play and only for a couple years. I'm just now getting comfortable enough to go a tiny bit farther.
07/20/2011
Actively got into it within the past few years.

Pretty much how I've felt since I got into it. Until I got with my new partner.

I got my first real experience with it at 16. I had been into it and curious a few years before that. I really enjoy it and wonder how people who don't have exciting sex lives!

We've dabbled in spanking and light restraint but now that we have a place of our own and have more private time we're starting to adventure more into this fetish. We're both excited to play more and learn more.

Looking forward to trying new stuff based on suggestions here

OHhh see I just got into it, started slow with a few partners doing some things that made me go hmmm. Slowly working hubby into it though which has been interesting to say the least.

10+ years here, but "active in the lifestyle," probably 8-9.
07/23/2011
just sorta hopped into it lol
08/08/2011
I'm a newbie! excited to learn everything.
08/21/2011
It's been almost exactly two years for me. And there's so much to learn!
08/22/2011
I think I first delved into the community aspect at 19, but I was kinky looooong before that
08/22/2011
A few years is how long i've been REALLY into it. I think i've always had urges, just never acted on them till the past few years.
08/22/2011
Almost as long as I've been sexually active.
08/23/2011
We just started this last year.
08/23/2011
Less than a year so I guess that counts as just starting
08/31/2011
In and out of it for like 10 years. My partner now is not into it at all though

I'm not sure what constitutes being "in the lifestyle." My girlfriend give me a collar when we were about sixteen (I'm 22 now) but she rolled her eyes whenever I wore it. She seemed t hate my submissiveness most of the time. Can that ever count? ...Or else my current boyfriend and I have symbolically collared one another and do some D/s and petplay, and at any given moment one of us is clearly more dominant than the other (though being both switches, which one of us is dominant does vary from situation to situation, it's always clear who it is). And I'm pretty sure that counts...
So I chose the shallow end of the 3-9 years. less

I'm just starting but nothing too kinky. I have handcuffs and probably need to get some leg cuffs and I will wear leather but that's about it.

generally it starts with a conversation with a lover that you are comfortable with. If you have trust, then you should not be judged. It is fun when you are both new and kind of fumbling around anyways!

when i was 19 was my first time.

Experimented a little bit with my ex (some choking, light bondage, blindfolding), but he assumed that because I wasn't into anal, I wasn't into anything kinky at all. Even though the one time he broke out the handcuffs, I broke the bed (ripped one of the casters right off).
My sub is an old friend of mine, and we cybered a few times before he confessed to me that he had always had a domination fantasy. I indulged him out of fondness for him... and realized that I am a dom. This revelation only happened a few months ago.
Before I was aware in a tangential way, because I write, and people into kink have made appearances. Also, my first boyfriend was a dom, and even though we never had sex, some of his proclivities leaked into our conversations. When I told him I had realized I was a dom as well, he said he was glad I had finally realized it

I chose 3-9 when I think back about 5-6 years when I started tying myself up.. I guess that's already mild BDSM in a way.

Other than that, I've had a few .. submissive moments with other people in the past 2 years. Guess it's a matter of how you look at things :'o.

I feel there is always more to learn
