Am I NORMAL?

Bdsm. The word can bring fear, excitement, smiles and tears. Those that aren't familiar with it mock, even hate it. But to those that dare at least explore it, it can bring such joy and a sense of completion.
I love it! It is like most things in life, it should be studied and the crafts honed. Many of the different fetishes can be dangerous if practiced irresponsibly.
There are thousands of different fetishes, labels and terms that are used amongst those that are in the lifestyle. In my writing Im going to assume (ughh) that anyone reading my posts has basic knowledge  and use lingo accordingly.

I want to explore different aspects of the lifestyle and what it is that draws us to it. What we get from practicing and living the lifestyle. While there is a strict protocol on the manner of acting respectfully that should be followed by all, each fetish is has very loose guidelines and each person has their own version of how they enjoy it. There is a creative license used in which we make it our own. I will from time to time touch on these differences. The one common factor in Bdsm is the mental aspect that brings us such pleasure.

One thing I constantly hear asked across the board is "is this weird?" Or "am I twisted/sick?"  The answer is NO!! Our brains are wired in such a way that, for a variety of reasons, what we were raised to believe are illogical behaviors or thoughts that society doesn't recognize as normal EXCITE THE HELL OUT OF US!  We feel like if it isn't something we were raised to believe was "normal", then we must be weird. To hell with those two words. Who defines normal and weird. We are all beautiful people in our own way. We seek out our needs and desires. We are brave enough to seek what it is that we need. That journey isn't always easy. But the rewards are a healthy perspective on what we want and need.

The psychology of it all is intriguing. Knowledge is power and to understand why we want it, need it, is priceless. I believe that following through with what you need emotionally and physically is healthy and wish to help others explore it.

So look out for a broad range of subjects to come across from my posts. Even those fetishes that I don't personally care for, I respect the right of others to practice and enjoy the "why" of it all. I think you will too !
