#ive said my piece 4x over bro

[bi-kisses]

I doubt you'll publish this either, so that's just something for you to think about. Probably the most hilarious thing about my personal (yes, this time personal) experience was I did everything right, according to any "kink educator". I researched, talked to people, safe-words, communication, you name it, I sincerely thought I wanted it, so, by the way, teens shouldn't be "educated" on kink neither at schools nor by "older friends" or articles, but instead should be educated on what consent really means, about boundaries, and different forms of abuse in relationships, and also about mental health and self-harm and its forms. And as for any unpleasant feelings, everyone would say it's normal and talk about sub drops, internalised sex-repulsion, internalised societal norms, and such. So even if someone does the research, does the kink "right" and even thinks they want it, doesn't mean it can't be something else (like very deep unnoticed self-hatred, because of being lesbian freak as well, and wish to be normal aka heterosexual in my case).

I also don't think kids should be taught about kink, I think resources on mental health should be made widely available first and foremost, however kink should ALSO have available resources. All those things you listed about consent and boundaries ARE ALREADY CONSIDERED SUPER IMPORTANT TO BDSM! I'm sorry you were wrapped up in a community of people who convinced you otherwise! I've never seen any BDSM articles or guides say that it's normal to be forced past your boundaries, nor have anyone tell me that in kink subreddits or forums or YouTube videos, so I really don't know what to say beyond that!

You were failed by society's homophobia and the lack of mental health/sexual health information at your disposal, you do understand that you are blaming kink for a completely separate issue, yes?

Well, obviously you don't realize and likely never will. Stop. Wasting. My. Time.
