The public at large, if only they knew...

I post on a music forum, and have for many years... there's a thread on there where they discuss porn and at one time or another I've let certain details slip about chastity play... (I was proud to be voted biggest pervert on the forum last Xmas) ...and my affinity for Femdom, which of course is all jolly fun to them. If I don't post for a few days, when I go back I see things like...

'Where's Rob?'
'He's probably tied up somewhere, getting assfucked and having his balls crushed by his Mistress....' 

Which, makes me laugh if I'm honest. And what it does do is show up the difference between the people who post on my blog and the people who post on that forum.
The other day I was cutting down a roller blind and I needed something to catch the bits with, so I picked up one of Mistress R's magazines, Reveal or Star or one of those celebrity mags, you know. And there was this article about this middle aged couple who started their own business selling sex-toys online.
Now aside from the obvious comedy value of getting the woman to pose for a picture in her glasses holding the biggest rubber cock they could find... I just thought, why is this even a story? They sell sex toys, so fucking what?
But out there, in vanilla land, it's something shocking, something to titter at... and it makes me realise that I, and you too (or you wouldn't be reading this) have a totally different take on this. Now I know that's pretty obvious, and you're probably thinking I'm just talking bollocks to get my post count up, but I think it's so easy for people like us to forget that we aren't quite 'normal' when it comes to how we are and how we think.
Which doesn't mean we are wrong, far from it, just that we're different. But I think what I'm trying to get at is that it's so easy to forget that, especially since the wonderful internet means we get to converse with like minded people every day, and when that rare opportunity arises to discuss chastity and femdom with those who are not 'on board' so to speak, it brings it home to you that they find it a) kind of funny, and b) rather incomprehensible.
I think the uninformed tend to take things at face value as well, so that if they see a video or a picture where someone is being dominated, they tend to believe that it hurts as much as it seems to. Now of course some people play at the harder end of the scale and like to feel genuine pain for the sake of it. But I certainly don't. And I should think there's an awful lot more people who are happy to have a stinging, pink bottom than a striped and bloody one. Just like there's probably a lot more men out there who enjoy having there balls squeezed but who don't want their bollocks crushed between a hard surface and a boot, than do.
But I think the uneducated just think we are all painsluts, and that's maybe why they think we're weird and they don't want to even contemplate it (although I read somewhere the other day that police who have to do house raids are coming across more and more bondage equipment, so perhaps things are changing, at least under the radar).
But on the whole, let's face it, I've read women's magazines in the past and when they talk about tips for spicing things up in the bedroom, they're still stuck on using feathers and fluffy handcuffs. Wouldn't it be so much better if these women could be presented with some honest and straightforward information about the benefits of Male Chastity.
Aah, if only they knew the power and satisfaction that's there for the taking!
