50 shades of ???

It’s been quite a while now, but I devoured all three books in the series and I’m not ashamed to say so.

If it wasn’t for those books, I probably never would have realized who I am.

And that the perverted thoughts I’d been having since puberty weren’t totally bad!

All of the sudden there was a whole new world presented to me, with real life possibilities of the fantasies I’d been having.

I have to admit that my exploration-adventure has had its scary moments, but I missed a lot over the years and I have so much to learn! I’m trying to cram all that learning in so I can catch up.

Anyway, I’m not so sure that I see the trilogy the same as many people who’ve spent a lot of time in “the community” and have always had super-kink as a part of their lives.

I see it as a possible way to enlighten outsiders – like it was for me.

I didn’t need to feel ashamed of my thoughts.

There were others out there who wanted a little pain and “punishment” every once in a while, too…

And others who enjoy doling it out…

For me, it was one of the ways (in addition to exploring new blogs) that helped me realize my fantasies really weren’t something I needed to hide or be ashamed of; there were (and are) people out there who are even kinkier than I could ever imagine.

And that’s okay 🙂
