Megatron Dearest & Kenstina!
I’m kinky because I love being free. I’m a puppy through and through. I enjoy giving power over and being controlled. Im kinky because it’s who I am. It took me a long time to love myself. It took me a long to want to stay alive. Kink and BDSM saved my life. That’s why I’m kinky
I consider myself kinky because I like to be tied up and spanked. I also love role play with my girlfriend. This time last year, before I heard your podcast, I would not have been able to write that on a public forum. Thanks for your amazing podcast.
I was glad to have heard this episode,I always felt being black meant I couldn’t have a kinky side (let alone being submissive) but listening to this gave me more confidence.
