ORIGINAL: curiouscallie I've always felt just a little of a degree off. I wonder if kinky people who feel that way in their every day lives are able to find acceptance easier in the bdsm world than in the vanilla world. not. Maybe... and maybe not. The truth is that the first 'acceptance' has to be the acceptance of the self... the bright face that the common world knows, and the shadow-foil, where the desires that are frowned upon when expressed in the "bright world" are expressed fully, embraced, and accepted. Until we accept ourselves, with all of our eccentricities and idiosyncracies, it will be near-impossible to find acceptance in a community beyond ourselves. Calla Firestorm
