I usually say that, in my kink journey, I like to do things all the way first try.

Now that I'm temporarily loving back with my parents... I wasn't expecting a "So what kind of event did you go to"...

So... I've laid out everything.

Which led to my mom asking to try latex and trying my pup hood 👀

The conversation wasn't seamless and there's still some judgement and old ideas...

But she listened and seemed to want to make an effort.
She might be the only parent that would accept that much of it... So I'm lucky even if it will never be perfect acceptance.

But it's also a journey for me to just allow myself to be myself and not rely on what used to be my reference and mentors being my parents.

I'm my own self now. I'm me. And I need to build pride and confidence in that.

@Xantw0 I like to think I have the same mindset too, I’ve never been one to do things by halves. Lately I’ve been working on being a lot more transparent and open about it all, something which is helping me so much.

I’ve been able to open up completely to my mother, and likewise with yourself whilst it wasn’t seamless her mindset towards it is ‘all I want is you to be happy’ which honestly is what whats her such a huge role model in my life 🥰

@Xantw0 The hardest part for me on my journey so far is figuring out how to be transparent about it all to my father, he is a very opinionated person sadly and honestly it scares me what he’d say/do in the wake of me opening up.

I agree with the point that you make that times have changed, and the reference from previous generations needs to evolve too. I’ve spent far too long hiding away from myself, it’s time I allowed the authentic me to run wild. This is the main goal I have!

@Xantw0 I love that! Good for you! 🥰
I'm always torn because in a way I tell my parents everything, but in another way I don't think any of us wants to know about the other's sex life. But when it becomes a lifestyle, it gets harder to separate the two.
