ORIGINAL: sheisreeds This came up in another thread, and I was just curious: How do your co-workers perceive you? Are you out about your kink? This is a bit different for me because, while I have an office that I go to, occasionally, I don't really socialize much with the other people there. I don't spend a whole lot of time there. I don't "hide" anything, ever but it's not like I'm a leather-wearing type like the guy in the Village People. I work with a bunch of ladies that are "holy rollers" and a couple that are members of P.E.T.A. they have commented on my assortment of leather jackets and my only response has been: "I like leather. I like the way it feels, smells, blocks the cold wind and keeps me warm" That's really about it. quote:
ORIGINAL: sheisreeds Do they think you're a prude? I am almost positive that most of the people I work with think I am a prude. I have lived alone for a long time. I've been divorced since forever and I don't really discuss my personal life around the office. However ... I spend a good deal of time, meeting with clients. I have gotten quite friendly with a couple of them and have - to a very small degree - let my guard down. One guy started inviting me to little parties that their company sponsored on a bi-weekly basis and when I showed up with a lady that wasn't the same one I had shown up with before that, he pulled me to the said and asked a question. "You and the brunette broke up?", he asked. "No, I still see her." "Aren't you afraid someone's going to 'spill the beans'?" "I keep no secrets. They know each other" That's about as far as I let my guard down. To me, it's about being as honest as I can be without being stoopit. quote:
ORIGINAL: sheisreeds Do they suspect that your home life is a little bit different? I suspect that most of them (the holy rollers) think that I'm a sad, broken, divorced man who spends my free time pining away for the woman who "completed" me because, obviously, it was she who initiated the divorce. As far as kink? I'm sure they have no clue what-so-ever. quote:
ORIGINAL: sheisreeds Do what degree do you try to disguise or gloss over your BDSM life at work? I would never out-and-out lie about anything. If someone approached me at work and asked about my dating life/living arrangements, I would asnwer as generally as possible. If they asked about my sex life, I would smile and suggest that work is not the place to speak about such things. If they're interested (not in a nosey way) in finding out more, they all know where I am on Tuesday nights (Karaoke) when I socialize. Peace and comfort, Michael
