BDSM Dilemma - Should I Tell My Parents? (Video)
Pages: 1 2
No matter how close children are to their parents there are some things that probably shouldn’t be shared - and sexual preferences is one of them.
Most of the time parents don’t really want to know about their children’s sex lives. Just like most people do almost anything in their power to avoid thinking about their own parents as sexual beings, parents balk at the very idea that their children have sex at all, even when those children are well into adulthood.
Add to this already existing unease an element of danger, perversion, or "evil" (as are often associated with the term BDSM), and it’s easy to see why having this discussion could do more damage than good.
Dear Dan and Jennifer,
A few of my very close friends know that I am into BDSM.
Because BDSM is so taboo, I could never tell my parents. My friends feel that I am lying to my parents because I tell them I am going to see someone else when I am actually going to see my Master. I am well over eighteen so I don’t feel that I am legally obligated to tell them.
Please let me know what you think. Sorry if this is a little off topic for you…
