Thanks to the likes of 50 Shades of Grey, certain kinky fetishes like *ahem* BDSM, have become a little more acceptable in mainstream media. Back in the day, no one would even dare talk about bondage, sadomasochism, and son on and so forth. That was taboo and you weren’t allowed to say anything about BDSM out loud without getting weird grimaces and looks from people.

Well, thanks to Christian Grey and the changing times, we can now talk about sexual preferences a little more openly than we did before. Yes, it can still be private and something only you and those you trust can be let in on but eventually one would want to share with the world what they are, right?

It’s always going to come down to the fact that it’s one’s choice, no matter what. You don’t have to share whatever you don’t want to share with others or the world. There’s BDSM sites that are really private, if that’s what you’re into. But when those that are into this run into the problem of their family and friends finding out what they’re into, that’s where situations can get a little awkward.

These 17 people had to deal with awkward AF situations when a family member found out about their love of BDSM:

1.

My mom saw some pictures of my ex-boyfriend tied up and gagged with a large metal hook in his ass… That taught her never to look in my camera again.

2.

My youngest sister who is 16 found my stash of BDSM paraphernalia. At first she thought it was odd, she said, “You are into some weird, f*cked sh*t aren’t ya?” I explained to her as best I could and she seems to have accepted it as long as I “Don’t murder anyone.”

3.

My mother asked me, in the b*tchiest tone possible, if it hurt when I lost my virginity. When I told her no, she said that it was because I “probably already slept around like a little wh*re.” After fuming for at least thirty seconds, I told her that it shouldn’t hurt if he gets you hot enough. Argument won.

4.

My mom read 50 Shades of Grey. She then proceeded in telling me that the things they did weren’t even “that bad”.
