Endlesslove22 -> BDSM and PARENTS! (2/3/2014 8:13:28 PM)
Hi everyone! I've recently had a big life-changing experience. I moved back in with my parents who are open nudists involved in BDSM. I opened up to them about my interest in the lifestyle and that's why I'm on CollarMe and the forums: they suggested this would be a good place to meet new people and grow in my experiences. I'm looking for advice. I feel like things between my parents have changed from child/parent to adults where the walls are breaking down and we're just turning into friends now. I have to stay at home while I'm in school and I'm looking for advice to deal with all of these changes and embarassment that I feel now all the time.

Well, what exactly is embarassing you? Living with your parents? Being privy to their sex life? Your interest in the lifestyle? Not that I think any of these are inherently embarrasing but it's hard to help without understanding some of the basics [:)]

littlewonder -> RE: BDSM and PARENTS! (2/3/2014 8:18:09 PM)
ooh boy! I don't envy you at all. I have a daughter who I found out accidentally was into all this. I would never, ever talk to her about this and thankfully I don't think she'd ever come to me about it. I told Master if she ever came on here, I'd be gone in a heartbeat. So if you never see me here anymore, that's why! [8D] But since you're already open to all of this with your parents, ask them to give you some books and/or advice since they're already into it. If not, then I got nothin for ya.

I feel like now that I've opened up to them they want to help me find someone; they want to help me understand the lifestyle a little more clearer. Which is fine, but that can be embarassing because I'm not used to any of this and because I feel like I'll disappoint them somehow. I want to be open and honest around them, but that can be difficult because that means exposing my interests and I'm not sure how to do that.

littlewonder -> RE: BDSM and PARENTS! (2/3/2014 8:33:07 PM)
You tell them exactly what you said here. Tell them you don't want them to help you and that your sex life is off limits to them.

I was the first person my daughter came to after her first experience with another woman. She wanted reassurance that there was nothing wrong with her. We had a very long discussion. I was very open to her about who I am, however I did not, nor would I ever divulge any details of my experiences but I wanted to instill in her that she had absolutely nothing to feel guilty about or ashamed of. I give her my opinion when asked and the support that she needs when judged by others who do not understand her bisexuality.

I helped My adult son find his wife of 8+ years right here on collarme... its only embarrassing if you allow it to be.

'Thanks mom and dad, I appreciate you being so open and supportive towards me. I'd rather keep my love life a little more private, but it's good to know I can come to you if I have any worries.' Then just don't bring it up again, and if they keep bringing it up just politely persist with setting boundaries. 'Thanks but I'd rather not discuss that, I'll come to you if I have any questions.'

kiwisub12 -> RE: BDSM and PARENTS! (2/4/2014 4:01:02 AM)
Other than maybe a safe call, I don't think your parents need any specifics about who you meet or what you do. Its understandable that they may be anxious given some of the perils of what we do, but if you are smart and a bit intelligent, no more so than vanilla dating. Smile sweetly and tell them that they didn't raise a dummy, and you don't really need any assistance.[:)] After all, do you really want to have a coffee klatch with your mum about preferring canes over floggers? I wouldn't.

Endlesslove22 -> RE: BDSM and PARENTS! (2/4/2014 10:06:17 AM)
Thank you for all the advice and suggestions. I'm going to try and be more relaxed and talk to them about what I feel okay sharing, and what I don't feel okay sharing. There is a part of me that wants to share, and a part of me that's afraid to share. Transitioning from my parents being just that to friends is a strange process but I think it happens to all of us as we grow up and start to become independent.

AthenaSurrenders -> RE: BDSM and PARENTS! (2/4/2014 10:13:27 AM)
It's good to transition to being friends with your parents. On the other hand, you don't share all the details of your intimate life with all of your friends, do you? It's still ok to have boundaries and politely change the subject if you're not comfortable with a conversation.

I thought they were being perverted and posting it on facebook. I commented on him being a pervert and he said he was getting a spanking. I said oh good lord don't tell me anymore!!

I was 16 when I learned that my parents could be my friends. It was great. And like you, when we all sat down, they shared things they previously had kept quite about concerning the lifestyle. I was very lucky to have such cool parents, so are you. You are lucky that your parents want to help you in ways that truly matter and affect your happiness. They have been just been honest with you and opened up about themselves. But you don't want to reciprocate with a pair of lifestyle nudists in to BDSM because you are embarrassed about your own kinks? I don't get it? To me it seems like you can't appreciate that fate has handed you one of the greatest gifts in life, parents that will accept and support you for who you are not who they want you to be. But I understand wanting to pick out your own pussy, so there's the rub. Just tell them to bug off and keep their nose out of your sex life.

DesFIP -> RE: BDSM and PARENTS! (2/4/2014 2:56:02 PM)
Be honest. Tell them they're embarrassing you and giving you more info than you can yet handle. Promise you will come to them if you have questions. But tell them you need to go at your own pace, not theirs. The only other thing is that if you're planning to go to meetings in the local community, is to make sure that they aren't going to the same parties. Look for a TNG group.

littlewonder -> RE: BDSM and PARENTS! (2/4/2014 4:54:49 PM)
I have a problem with children, even adult children, and parents being bestest of friends and such. I grew up where parents were parents, children were children...end of story. Sure you could be closer as you got older. I'm my daughter's mother. Always have been, always will be. She will always get the mom side of me. That doesn't mean we can't talk about certain things better these days and go out to lunch as two adults and such but even then...I'm still her mom and I'm still gonna tell her that I don't want her doing certain things and how I feel about those things and how upset or proud I am of her as a parent. But I sure as hell don't want to know about her sex life or other TMI things. And she sure as hell doesn't want to know what mom does either. Boundaries people. Boundaries.

Ionium -> RE: BDSM and PARENTS! (2/4/2014 9:37:03 PM)
Everything involving parents is embarrassing!

Domnotlooking -> RE: BDSM and PARENTS! (2/7/2014 9:58:43 AM)
There's a really good book called Boundaries, When to say yes, How to say no and take control of your life that you might want to at least scan the Amazon reviews of. Your parents are nice people, but they def. are a wee bit eccentric on the whole kid/parent boundary thingie. Lots of kids of nudists face similar issues as they age. Might be worth a google to find other likeminded people to talk to as well as posting here.
