Hi Charlie,

Sorry it’s taken me so long to reply, and thanks for the advice.

I’m actually not that close with my parents at all. I just felt like telling them because I was sick of them knowing me for the image I put on around them, as opposed to who I really am.

I actually have revisited my choices and have done a lot of thinking…it’s all in the next post =)

I’m a fan of your blog and those of Sir & Miss. I really admire you for being so mature and introspective at your young age of 19. How wonderful that you have supportive parents (albeit temporarily shocked). The fact that you disclosed your kink to them means you have an in depth relationship with them. As a parent myself, I would be so proud of you for having the courage, conviction and brilliance (for you have chosen wisely Sir & Miss, who have been nothing less that supportive, loving, nurturing and fun to you) to know your heart so well.

If I could give you advice, it would be to take your time. It is actually a good thing to revisit your life decision periodically to assess what works for you and what does not enhance your life. In fact, why give yourself an artificial limit of one month? Would not 2 months or more give you the benefit of determining who you really are? How long did it take to program your thinking into being a pet? Perhaps it would be reasonable to think it would take that long to make the paradigm shift to being vanilla once more.

Think of it in another light: after your month, go back if you must to your world of kink but knowing that you can leave at any time for another month of evaluation. I wish you well in your journey. I feel the utmost respect towards you and admiration for being so wise.

It’s good to hear that your hiatus was a success! Are you already back in the kinky world or are you still on your holiday in “vanilla land”? I’m very curious to read about your experiences during the last month! It’s a pity that you couldn’t come to Germany, just tell Ludwig and me once you find the time. You’re very welcome!

Thanks Sephani,
It was a good learning experience, and I took a lot from it.

I think this will be good for you. I had my own 4 years of “freedom” and while I do NOT recommend going that long, I learned a lot about myself, my needs, my wants and who I really was. I am not comfortable in my slavery and have no delusions that maybe I can be normal I can’t.

Thanks M,
I’m trying to go with my gut throughout the hole thing. It’s just going to take some time to work everything out.

Thanks Kaelah,
You will probably be getting an email from me sometime soon…

I was thinking of visiting Germany this August, but I don’t think that’s happening any more.

I applaud your bravery!!

I encourage you to keep what YOU want at the front of your mind so that your feelings are really yours and not what you think others expect of you.

Telling your parents about your kink was really a very brave decision! I’m glad that they cope so well with the situation. And I wish you all the best for your exploration during the next month. If you like to talk (write) to someone who is kinky but not part of your close personal kinky relationship network, you can always send me an email!
