Everyone's going to have their own approach. With me, what would work well would be a frank conversation.... conversation only... and then some space to process... and then some dipping toes into the pool to see how it feels. But at least in any relationship I would be in, two things would be true: a) If I didn't think I could have that frank conversation then in no way are we ready for any sort of BDSM activity... and I'd have to wonder why I'm in a relationship with them at all. b) The fact that my partner desired it would automatically make me pre-disposed to liking it... whatever "it" is. So I'd certainly give it a fair try. After that though, who knows whether it would appeal? I doubt it'd be in the "ewwwww" category.... I'm not able to hold such thoughts about the woman I love. But it might be in the "ho-hum" category. Sadism is like that for me. It doesn't make me all crazy to think about OMG HURTING CAROL!!!! OMG!!!. But it just doesn't do much for me. If, however, it did more for her then I could definitely get into it as an acquired taste. In the end, relationships are a team sport. Instead of trying to covertly manipulate your boyfriend, why not simply share with him the goal and ask his cooperation in helping get the team there? ~Jeff
