ORIGINAL: MasterGremlin I guess I just don't see it as a "conversion", just like I don't really see it as a "lifestyle". For me it just isn't a choice, you either are or aren't and I am and always have been submissive. I wasn't always "aware" of what I am, which caused alot of confusion and mental anguish in my life as I spent alot of time trying to be something I wasn't. But just like you can't "convert" someone from being heterosexual to being homosexual (or vice versa), I don't think you can "convert" someone who isn't truely D/s or BDSM from being vanilla. But then I also have some difficulty understanding how some people here can talk about their "vanilla" life as opposed to their BDSM life as I see myself as always being D/s BDSM all the time. I may not talk about it or project it to everyone (mostly because it isn't any of their business) but I never stop being who I am. Cordially, minxy Your make your point quite well. I'll extend my metaphor a bit further, though, and ask this: What was that one thing you tasted that you didn't know you loved, or could love, until you tasted it? For me, sashemi. Never thought I would like it, now consider it food of the Gods (my people!). Granted, food and sex aren't interchangeable (or I'd be one fat guy) but do you see what I mean? I have found those who simply had never tasted, didn't know... until shown. While I can see your analogy being attributed to say certain "acts", like say never having tried wax play and then doing so and loving it, I can't see it as being likened to D/s or BDSM as a whole. I think you simpley can't make someone into something they aren't. I have been sitting here trying to think of an analogy that might better express it, but quite frankly, everything I have typed just sounds dorky Maybe another day to think about it or another glass of wine.... Cordially, minxy
