I think you can introduce BDSM into a vanilla relationship .. as long as you pick the right partner and do it in a sympathetic and non aggressive way. I have been with my current girlfriend almost a year and half she has known from the beginning that I have some very pronounced kink and that i would identify myself within the lifestyle as a slave. She is not Domme nor did she have any experience of BDSM before she met me. By increments we have introduced just enough BDSM for me to feel really comfortable in the relationship. You have to find the right way to bring the subject up, remember you are potentially dropping something massive on THEM, you have had years to accept what BDSM is to you, cut them some slack if they take more than a few minutes to get used to idea. We went away for the weekend, so that if it turned out to be something she couldn't get her head around we could leave the conversation out there and not bring it back with us. We slowly built BDSM into our life together, so that now much like a 24/7 Ds couple, it is a streamline part of our relatiuonship. We dont play, which is fine for me, but we have plenty of ritual there which makes me feel great and allows me to feel in service to her. Some she really enjoys, some she doesn't get at all but continues with them because they make me happy. As an example she gets that I need to care for her - cook, clean, pamper, fetch, carry etc. She finds orgasm control a huge turn on and so that is part of our otherwise pretty vanilla sex life. She totally does not get some things though - eg me asking permission of her to leave the bed. That was something i had in a previous relationship - underlining that whatever it was i had to do always came second to being there for my Owner if i was needed or wanted. It became such a habit and a comfort for me then that i wanted it to continue. She still finds it utterly bonkers but its joins the whole other bunch of things that makes me .. well me. Am sure many will scoff at what we have, but it makes us happy - and nobody elses opinion really matters but ours where our happiness is concerned.
