What got you into kink?

Contributor: Roz W Roz W
Some kinksters start participating in BDSM because of a specific kink, act, or fetish. (For example, I've seen a lot of BDSM 'scene' people whose primary 'thing' is rope bondage.) What got you into it (or was it someone)? Multiple choices including "other," if you care to elaborate

My boyfriend in college got me into BDSM. We started slow, some spanking here, some flogging there. I guess I just got more extreme after that. And it has been BDSM all the way since then. I like it rough.

Just sort of felling into it. Worked out really well with one of my ex's, then jsut progressed from there. I am naturally dominant, often.

I always had a thing for handcuffs. I don't even remember when that started. I think that kind of kicked off kink for me, but I think another big part of it was that my fiance just randomly spanked me once while we were making out. It was amazing.

My boyfriend introduced me to light bondage, and I've enjoyed it ever since. :]

I probably first discovered BDSM through reading fanfics. I was a bit of a sheltered child before I figured out there was porn and smut on the internet.

DiD, pretty much every Disney movie I saw as a child had the princess or main female character all helpless and in peril at some point so I got curious and decided to try it. I tie my ankles up and pretend that some handsome prince would come and rescue me from the imaginary bad guy.
I never had siblings so I grew up with a lot of imaginary friends.

I've always had submissive desires (I won't say tendencies - because I'm very dominant in most every area of my life).

I can remember being in kindergarten and enjoying playing the "locked up princess" who was stuck in a cage. I would just sit there in that wooden "cage-like" piece of play equipment begging for the boys to "let me out".

Another one was running from the boys and letting them tackle me and struggling to get away. That was always fun, getting captured and whatnot.

Even in my teens, I enjoyed make-out sessions that were rougher - more cat and mouse, hold me down, etc. I *liked* aggressive boys.

Later on - I liked older, more aggressive men.

It wasn't until my early 20's that I discovered the term "BDSM" and that there were other people out there who enjoyed REAL activities that made sense and that these fantasies weren't just made up in my head.

It was like a light switch being turned on inside my head.
I haven't turned back since.

I dunno... for some reason it always seemed "normal" to me. *shrug*

When I began reading romance books dealing with BDSM, I began to get curious. Then came a curiosity in restraints, pain, etc.

I never really had a revelation that got me into BDSM or anything like that. I just kind of always was.

I've had partners who pushed the boundaries into kink. I do think that reading erotica at a young age was the way I got into it though.

Rope, though the inspiration was probably reading

Watching the Japanese drama "Kimi wa Petto (You are my pet)" when I was younger got me intrigued. It didn't include kink, but the idea of it was instilled in me since then. I only realized it had relations to that when I found a thread on a forum a while back. I'm still slowly easing my way into this area though.

I swear you can learn about almost anything online.
Not necessarily learn it well or how to go about it safely but at least it's great for curious minds.

I was the one that wanted to bring the kink into our relationship. I always wondered what it was like, because I always saw it in the porno's on television. I wanted to experiment with it and it kind of stuck with us throughout the years, and we have been together for nine and a half years!! Hopefully we can keep it alive!

I've always enjoyed roleplaying the "damsel in distress" as a kid and I never liked it much when I got saved and the play ended. I fantasized a lot about kidnappings and being "tortured" by my kidnapper.

The first moment I knew for sure was watching Aladdin when I was about 6 and wanting to be Jasmine when she's all dolled up in chains for Jafar
