ORIGINAL: jakejev Let's say you're meeting people through regular dating (not the BDSM community or anything) just going out in the vanilla world, coffee, bars, gym, etc. Are there any hints that a dom or sub can or usually drops to let others know they're talking to someone from the lifestyle or at least that they have an inclination for BDSM or kinky stuff? Doms, what do you do? Subs, what do you do? No I've never really dropped any hints. There's no set point at which you become 'from the lifestyle' - ie no set level of kinkiness you have to meet. As such you could hint to me that you're into all sorts of super dark kinky stuff and get me all excited only to find out three weeks later that means you want to eat whipped cream of my nipples. Very disappointing. That said, you and I are a similar age. I've found that all of my friends and everyone I've dated has been pretty open minded when it comes to this. Even those that didn't see the appeal weren't horrified by it. I'd have no problem telling someone on a first date that I was kinky. I guess I've just never found it scary to tell someone I like what I like so I don't feel I need to protect myself by secretly figuring out if someone is kinky before I reveal myself. And how many people our age haven't experimented with handcuffs or a light spanking? It's pretty mainstream, and so from there you can have the conversation about what else you like. PS. Be careful that you're not coming off as creepy by trying to hint about this to strangers in bars. I think I'd be nervous of a guy trying to make subtle hints about tying me up or using me, or a guy trying to discreetly turn the conversation towards sex, much more so than if you just came out with 'I'm a dom'.
