You ever start writing something knowing there's a good chance you'll end up deleting it? I used to be ashamed of my kinks. Fairly vanilla kinks, as it turns out. But still, things that most anybody wouldn't want publicly known, because people are cruel, and because it was the late eighties/early nineties when I was discovering these things about myself. To put it in as technical of terms as I know how, I think I am a sub-leaning switch who is mostly into bondage, teasing, tickling, [maybe] spanking, crossdressing, and hypnosis. Yikes. That's me exposed, I guess. And I'd never lay all that on a person if it wasn't for the fact that you're really open about things that most people might consider taboo...and for the fact that you've even stated yourself that you're a gifted networker. You know I'm a little shy in the first place, and have no idea of where to start. I've practiced self-bondage (self-everything, really) to a dangerous degree in the past, but am otherwise quite inexperienced, and would very much like to slowly change that, before I get old and lose my flexibility. If I end up sending this, and you end up reading this, I'm gonna feel super-embarrassed. But if you know any way for an aspiring rope bunny who is totally not dangerous to overcome their social shortcomings and meet people...well, it'd be about the biggest favor I could ask. And if you just want to ignore this and pretend it never happened, that's cool too. You always have a lot on your plate. Yeah. That wasn't hard or awkward at all. Josh
