The things I fantasize about are things I’ve never even told Zoe, who’s in the kink lifestyle. I’m not anywhere near as experienced as she is, though, so I never feel like I can chime in and talk about how I want to be choked or held down and called a whore. I didn’t even know I’d like stuff like that until I started reading about it. Who knows—perhaps if someone did those things to me in real life, I wouldn’t enjoy it. Sure, I got turned on while reading about it, but that didn’t mean I’d be into it personally, right?
