You'd be surprised lmao
My friends know what I'm doing. I told them straight up because we live in [CURRENT_YEAR] and well, people are going to attempt to dox me and shit the moment I get a bit of fame. And since the zeitgeist includes "cancel culture", "guilt by association" and "othering"... I just went ahead and warned all my friends. Came out the closet, so to speak.
So aye, I'm happy to say that despite the warnings I only lost a couple friends and the rest surprised me a bit by suggesting storylines that were pretty damn kinky. They opened up like a clam and let me in some very dirty secrets. I don't judge, though. Kinks and fetishes are healthy and we don't really choose which ones we have, we can only react. It's like the foot fetishists, their brain just happen to be wired that way.
It's all about trust and respect.
