You know, i wish my boyfriend was kinky, but honestly, we're just not there yet. We're both a bit too young at heart haha. But i bet he'd warm up to it pretty quick if i told him i was kinky and presented him with the chance to try it out. ;D

I've had good luck with that with my partners. I guess I know how to find kinky people without even asking. I don't think I could be with someone who wasn't and be satisfied.

I'm working on a review of this kit for my mentor ATM, and really it is pretty tame as BDSM goes. It would be a good starter set, nothing too intimidating. If you are really nervous about how your partner might react to your kink, you can always start with conversation rather than bringing the subject up by bringing out the toys. If you're into leather and a cute guy in leather walks by, mention it. If you see some porn together where S & M comes up, mention what you find exciting. Gauge your partner's reactions.

I know I was VERY nervous about mentioning my kinks to my husband. As in, we've been married 14 years, dated for almost 3 before marrying, and I'm just claiming my BDSM fetishes now. (Which I have always known were there.) I was very pleasantly surprised by how supportive my husband was. He really knew more about me than I thought he did.

But, with a brand new partner, it can be pretty scary. Good luck!

I feel like my kinky friends would laugh. They have VERY high standards and accept nothing less than like $200(+) items; they would scoff at anything that could be bought in a kit/ be in a general populus price range at all.

I feel like my vanilla friends would be impressed and be like, "Wow! That's kinky!"

I personally would be okay with introducing it to all of my friends/ potential partners. I'm like, "Take me or leave me." I never worry about BDSM/kink scaring others away. I mean, I'm trans* and queer. I think they would have been scared off just by knowing that--- once they get over that, I usually guess if they were okay with that they should be accepting of BDSM/kink things, even if it isn't their thing personally, and so far they have been

I don't know if just showing up with a kit would be the best move. I think having an open and honest discussion about sexual interests is the best way to introduce the idea of kink to someone. THEN you can start looking into kits.

Most kits I've seen are too light for my tastes, though if I showed up at his doorstep with one, I'm sure he'd be game to test it out with me. We'd likely break half of the stuff I see in most kits, but we'd have fun breaking them.

I wish my boyfriend was more kinky. Bringing up kinky stuff makes me feel shy. lol. If I showed him all the stuff I wanted to try he would probably be pretty surprised. We're just starting small with really beginner type stuff like the Black Rose satin ties and things that are soft and see where it goes from there.

my partner would be hell yeah lets do it..lol

I'm not vanilla, and if my partner got me one of these things, I'd be like "honey, this is going to break in a few weeks." And then she'd have a sad face. So, of course we'd use it. We're just heavier BDSM players than that.

I love reading all of these responses- it feels like secret insight into relationships haha.
