What misconception about kinky people would you most like to clear up?
There are a few. But the main one is, that there is something wrong with us, that we are freaks. The fact is, I'd bet that people deal with kinky people many times a day and have no clue. Not all kinky people walk around with a collar on, or wearing all black, or corsets, or what every your stereo typical picture of a kinky person is. They are mom's, dad's, aunt's, uncle's, grandparents. They are teachers, ministers, leaders, volunteers,. They are kind, giving people. A great many of them are very very wonderful people. I won't say all, because, let's face it, in every group of people, there are assholes.
That' why I hate when things like this happen:
There was a murder locally. Of course, the focus is on the husband first. Then it turns out he's into BDSM. He owns a bar, there is a dungeon in the basement. He had slaves or subs that called him Master.
So that is the focus. That must be the problem, he's a freak, and that's why he murdered his wife.
I hate HATE that people judge things they don't understand.
Now, I'm not saying he's innocent, I don't know if he is or not. BUT! Just because he's into BDSM doesn't mean he is a murderer.
Just because I like being tied up and spanked, doesn't mean I want a man that is abusive. There IS a difference.
People need to LEARN about things they don't understand. I'm not saying you have to want to do it yourself. I don't want to be in a poly relationship, but I learn about them, because there are people out there that are poly, and I want to understand them.
I think if people tried to understand each other more, there would be more love in this world.
