ORIGINAL: shacky2012 I'm sure this has been discussed here before, but I sure can't find it. We are newlyweds. I was a virgin when we married and contrary to what popular thought says, sex has been awesome. Except you know there's a "but" coming. I've always been intrigued by BDSM but never had the chance to do anything about it. Now I'm married, and even have a husband who claims to lean dominant. The problem is, he never does anything about it! I've narrowed it down to two issues: 1. He's afraid of hurting me, no matter how many times I tell him it feels good. 2. He's afraid if he takes one step into the BDSM world, he'll end up a complete sexual deviant, with me tied up in the basement as his complete slave. He won't really talk about either of these fears, past telling me that's what's in his mind. So where do we go from here? While I can sorta relate to point #1 for a novice (afraid of hurting his loved one), the fact is that if it really is what he's into AND has a willing submissive partner ta boot, then as with all things new, you take small steps in experimenting to see what works. Point #2 is a total crock - it's deflective bullshit...! His claim that he "leans" to dominant was likely all about telling you what you wanna hear - which was not necessarily a bad thing in trying to please his partner. Sounds like you've got yourself a vanilla partner and there's a chance you might even be scaring him with your BDSM needs. You need to have some serious conversations; the kind where truth trumps excuses. As a Dominant myself, there's just no way we'd be talking around the edges and generally making excuses if my brand new virgin wife was into BDSM, too. Seriously, the fears are his and they're about BDSM in general, not about potentially hurting you. In the meantime, I think the sex will be even better if the BDSM pressure was off for him. 'Cause that's what is is to him - pressure! Focus.
