It has always been something that came natural to my mind/personality, but I never knew what to call it or what it was. Started as a teenager, I had dreams and daydreams that were a bit alternative. It included women, men, group stuff, threesomes, kinky bits, and more. It wasn't something anyone else spoke about, and it wasn't something out in the open. So I used to draw pictures and write about it. I was okay with being bisexual because I had a lovely mum and sisters who were open minded and accepting, plus great friends. In hindsight that is a key part of my self-acceptance too, I came out at age 13. I had relationships with guys, and then one with a woman. All my relationships were monogamous & vanilla. It was never really an interest from partners to explore beyond the norm. However, in my relationship with a woman, we initiated a threesome with our friend, he was 18 we were 19/20. This happened three separate occasions together, and for me it was great, it just felt natural and free. My partner enjoyed it too, even though she was and is a lesbian, he was the only guy she did stuff with and felt comfortable exploring that part of herself with.
Fast forward to 2015, joined fetlife to explore kink - met some great people who I am still friends with now. Went to workshops, events, meets, and had a fab time. And plan to go to more.
Joined here last summer, and really felt comfortable with the whole atmosphere and open minded people. Still definitely a newbie, really enjoyed the first club experience over the weekend and meeting people. (There are lots of other little details but not going into them on here right now
)
I would be more timid if I explored this lifestyle alone, and maybe would have waited longer to do so too. Which is why
@Shadowfox is an important part of this. We met back in 2015 in sociology and psychology course, and clicked with our outlook on life & had a good chat about pansexuality and kink etc. When it comes to trying things out I am comfortable when it is safe and I have trust/good vibes with the situation at hand. I am so comfortable around him that it can make an environment more safe for me to explore (for those who were there Friday you probably already know this from chats and watching etc).
I can't speak for Shadowfox, but I'm sure he has lots to say about his own journey and what he wants to explore and such.
Looking forward to more meets, events, gatherings, and stuff. Was great to listen to others and their own experiences and outlooks,
