RoughFN -> RE: Could You Recognize a BDSM Addict In Person? (1/25/2008 8:01:04 AM)

The simplest way to find out is just ask. 'course you always run the risk of looking like a yutz (or a pervert (or both)) when you guess wrong. I always wondered about a former coworker. She wore one of those tiffany necklaces that have the thick heavy chain with the heart tag at the front. And it sure looked like a damned collar. I asked her once about it ("That's an interesting necklace. Is there a story behind it?") and she stammered out a reply tripping over her words, which just raised my suspicions. Seeing her interact with her husband was interesting. He was never really overtly dominant, more of an old style traditional relationship. She'd be sitting down and he'd ask her from across the room to go get her a beer and she'd jump up and do it immediately. So lots of subtle little clues. I finally asked her point blank if it was a collar. Her response - "Rude". I'm starting to think, "Oh shit. I guessed wrong. She's pissed about getting asked this, time to backpedal." She continued, "So-and-so (another co-worker) used to ask me that all the time." My mouth dropped. Him? I thought He's into this? That's one of the most white bread milk toast sheltered guy I've ever met. And he is asking? She continued, "So (other coworker) told him that he should stop being rude, it comes from Tiffany's and he can go check the website if he doesn't believe her." I paused and reflected. Clearly, he was just making the extremely rude implication that it had been purchased from a pet store and kept harping on that idea, apparently with no other questions asked. He wasn't coming at it from a bdsm perspective, it was a "WTF are you wearing?" perspective. She appeared completely oblivious to the concept and question as well, so I just dropped the subject. Whoops. 'course I still haven't come out to her about my extra curricular relationships, so maybe at some point when I do she'll fess up and I'll be vindicated. Or not.
