Too funny! Both my kids are into BDSM as well, but I never thought of it as 'running in families'. My daughter and her fiance attended a BDSM lecture with me, and we have had various discussions about our BDSM interests, and how we incorpoorate these aspects into our lives. Actually, my daughter is one of my favourite 'shopping buddies' when looking into fetwear, and fet products, and I really value her opinion. Meanwhile, my son and daughter-in-law have 'claimed' one of our common venues as theirs, while I have laid claim to another, so that we don't accidentally 'witness' each others' 'sex' lives, so to speak. They also blessed me last Christmas with some new BDSM implements that they knew I had been wanting. And, we're even on the two of the same BDSM sites, but have promised each other not to look at each other's profiles, pix, etc. I know I have kept my promise and honestly believe that they have kept theirs. And if by chance they have looked, well... that is their choice and I guess they will have to live with it. So does it run in families - I'm not sure. Is it nature vs nurture, I'm not sure. Did I actively, intentionally expose my kids to my interests and desires - absolutely not. But then, I never actively, intentionally taught my children to copy or emulate my other behaviours/interests either. So.... maybe it is just 'picked up' as other things are as well in families. For instance, my son and I are both heavily into psychology-based professions. And my daughter and I are both very much into nurturing others as an active part of who we are in our everyday lives. But this questions has got me to thinking about how discussions ever got around to BDSM topics, and the truth is, I don't even know. I've just always been very open to whatever questions they may have had about anything and everything.
