In highschool I had a couple girlfriends who were into bondage and corsets, maybe that's where I first got the ideas from.. Otherwise I don't know I just like it

Mine was a boyfriend. He and I came to realize that both of us were a little on the kinky side and decided to explore that together. He had some prior experience but it was mostly basic stuff like light bondage and spanking.

Movies and tv shows I watched as a kid, mostly.
I guess they sort of "planted the seed" and over the years I dabbled a bit here and a bit there, by the time I was 9 I knew I liked how it felt to be tied up. ^_^

That said, the internet was a god send when it came to learning how to do things a bit more safely and better. xD

Books and the internet brought the ideal to my mind and from there I began to explore it

A close friend really got me into it, and from this day has been a mentor for me when I have questions about things.

If I had to credit an outside entity, it would be the internet

I remember tying myself up at a very young age and it just developed from there. If I had to give credit to someone else though it would be a girl from HS who was a total DOMINA.

I'm one of those people who believe that they were born kinky. Reading porn helped though.

I surfed the internet and came across a few certain websites. I fell completely in love and it's just been that way since. :3

It was something my close friends and i discussed back in high school. We talked about the things we think would enjoy trying and already know we enjoy. It wasnt until i discussed these feelings with my partner that we started to put them to use and now lite BDSM play is part of our every-day sex life!

No one brought me into it. It's just what I've always thought about as soon as I started fantasizing. Ask my ex-fiance. He was so against it and I was like common just try it. Needless to say there is a reason he's an ex-fiance and NOT a husband.

No one really introduced me. I don't really remember why it occurred to me to do certain things but I just started doing them and my partner at the time responded and we kept doing it.

That's a complicated question. My first exposure to kink was with my first real boyfriend, but I credit my current girlfriend to introducing me to the lifestyle. When I was dating my first boyfriend, I had no idea what I liked. I presented myself as a domme because I thought that was what he wanted. It wasn't a very pleasant experience. Later, I dated another guy who was a top, and he made me realize that I wanted to be dominated. However, he ended up being less-than-respectful of things like consent and boundaries, so my relationship with him almost turned me off from BDSM entirely. Eventually, I figured out that I was gay (I'd previously thought I was bisexual), started seeing my girlfriend, found out she was a top, and am now living in seventh heaven.

A singer did. He has music that is about BSDM. I already liked to be a dom and sub, but I didn't know there was a "culture" if you will behind it all. Well after that I looked into it and figured all this awesome stuff about it and well here I am now! lol

My husband actually introduced me to this world. He's been a Dom in relationships before and asked if I'd be willing to give it a go. We had one weekend where I was at his complete beck and call, it was interesting but I'm not sure if I'd like to do it all the time
