How to avoid becoming an outcast: the risks of BDSMers associating with “vanilla” people
Ironically, they say the following about their religious, moral, and ethical beliefs. However, as with masculinity, it”s best to keep it in your pants and not shove it in anyone”s face. Much the same applies to beliefs about BDSM.

Respect for the opinions of others
Psychological personal boundaries are unresolved, and everyone has their own ideas about what comfortable and passionate sex truly is.
Of course, most members of the BDSM community prefer to keep their beliefs private. After all, the average person is unlikely to understand such an approach. However, some people surprise others with their unconventional approach to sexuality. A Real-Life Story
A real-life story
“In the work environment, this colleague liked to shock others with photos from a recent BDSM session. Over time, of course, people began to perceive him as a strange and eccentric person with strange views on sexuality. And my colleague became a real outcast,” says Molly.
I kept asking him why he continued to bother people who clearly enjoyed vanilla relationships. He replied that these colleagues seemed bored. “And he liked to point out to them how boring and monotonous their lives are,” Molly continues.
“Of course, I didn”t find anything shocking in my colleagues” views on sex. When I first started learning about BDSM, I felt compelled to share this “Holy Grail” of sexuality with others. But over time, I realized there needs to be an appropriate time and place to talk about BDSM. And there”s no need to introduce it to indifferent people whose beliefs contradict the logic of BDSM.

The first of these is rooted in the principle of consent, which is the basis of BDSM. Every BDSM practitioner must respect the comfort of others and not go beyond what is permitted by their partner. However, it is important to remember that this principle applies not only to employees of the company where the session is taking place.
All people with whom a BDSM advocate interacts do not have to be involved in this direction if they do not want to. People around you should feel safe in your company — this allows you to build constructive relationships in society.
Most people choose traditional “vanilla” relationships on their own. The reason they do this is because of their own business. If necessary, you can find information about BDSM if you are interested and decide for yourself whether this topic is worth studying further.
In addition, such behavior can leave a negative impression on people who are actually loyal to BDSM or are fellow practitioners. Imposing your opinion increases the likelihood of people like you coming to you.
Be mindful of the perception of bruises
Remember to be mindful of bruises
We cannot know what events this or that person experienced in the past. And there is no reason to expect an enthusiastic response from our counterparts. However, it can be predicted that things like bruises, slaps and humiliation will be perceived as somewhat strange by most people.
Of course, it is not fair to say that BDSM fans face great persecution and social condemnation. This often leads to misinformation and lack of support. But still, proving your personal opinion to those who are not interested in this is not the best option. There are more effective ways of self-realization. For example, share your knowledge in a special blog. Or start your own workshops. In this case, you can get an interested audience that is not prone to judgment.
Getting to know someone first is humiliation, don’t be a beggar!
