17 People Share the Awkward AF Moments Family Found Out About Their BDSM Fetish

8.

My parents found my toys fairly fast after moving back home. They were hidden and I honestly think that my mother, especially, was looking for something to confirm her suspicions. It was awkward but I owned up to my parents about owning the toys and that was that. Until a couple weeks ago when my mother went snooping through my amazon account for gift ideas. That scared her a lot! The biggest worry for my parents when all this went down was who I was playing with because I never let on that anything is going on.

My 2nd oldest sister (Whom i would say i am most close to) is totally different! She is a social justice warrior who thinks my kinks mean I am a misogynist who likes beating up women. In fact when she found out she tried giving me a book on spousal abuse and lecture about how a “real man doesn’t hurt a women” but because she “loves me so much she won’t tell my mother.”

When I told my closest cousin I was kinky she asked what exactly that meant and I tried my best to explain what D/s and master/slave relationships are but she just thought it sounded like an abusive relationship. Then I explained that the difference is that the control I have and pain I give is what my SO really wants and that it can stop anytime they want. She still insisted it didn’t sound quite right.
