Have you been in a discussion where fetishes have been bought up? Have you ever stated openly what your fetish is to friends or family? Were you ever put down for these feelings? Do you care what others think?
Never had a discussion with non-BDSM friends (people I've met via c.com, b.com, a.com, etc) where this ever came up. Never every had a discussion with family about my -- or their -- sex life details. I do care what my friends think in general and knowing what they think about any thing won't necessarily stop me from doing my thing.
Do you really have conversations with your family about the particulars of your sex life? Hmm. The nitty gritty of *how* just never came up as a topic for us.

I manage a safety department of a transport company. They know I make adult films as a hobby and into kink. Another manager made the mistake of trying to embarrass Me over dinner, big mistake on his part! LOL. It has never occurred again.
That's....interesting. How do they know this? As DesFIP mentions, at my company, having everyone who works for me know (hypothetically speaking) that I "make adult films" would mean I have violated sexual harassment policy in a big way! Then again, at our company, we must take class after class on workplace-related topics such as ethics and laws, respecting individuals, etc.

I find nothing, absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about in My sexual life preferences. As long as it's consenting adults, whats the issue? I have noticed others saying they're mortified if their family or friends or co-workers found out! why? We do nothing shameful, and btw, just who decides what's shameful??
I decide what's shameful -- or rude -- for me. Frankly, hearing someone go on and on about what they do sexually is *usually* pretty boring to me. Not always, I admit! Sometimes, it can be mind-boggling, amusing or intriguing, lol!
That said, I don't want to know anything about what my family gets up to for sex. My father once started a sentence with the phrase "My lover..." and, after I could get the pieces of my head back on after it exploded, I had to ask him to please never, ever use that word to me, lol! I could simply be a prude!

Are you nervous or apprehensive of anyone you know seeing you on the net, or at a play party or just in an adult or kink store? I think it's time that others in this world learned the true meaning of minding their own business! What say you?
For job and career-related reasons, I'm not desirous of being "seen" on the net by co-workers. I don't go to play parties. Interestingly enough, I actually don't have a problem going to some place like Paddles or an adult store at all.
And yeah, people should indeed mind their own business. Ironic that you asked that question, eh? Another good one would be, where does "my" business end and the other person's business begin? If they don't want to hear about my personal life, am I inflicting it on them and *making* my business their business when I tell it to them anyway!?!!?
