i was turned on by bondage before puberty. any movie with someone getting tied up was inherently intriguing. everything has grown out from that kink. as you Professionals know, there's a lot more to bondage than rope. there's helplessness, vulnerability, consent/nonconsent, one-sided negotiation, but also a sense of Dominant protection. while in bondage, the Dominatrix is both my antagonist and, weirdly, my protector. the one who keeps me safe - especially from myself and over-estimating my limits..
I was never into feminization and chastity or my other strong current kinks in my early years. but i was led to them thru the portal of bondage. and bondage was there before i was 10. maybe 6 or 7?
