Welcome Discreet Charm!
I will not echo what has already beens said here, but I do agree with all of it.
For me, I would love to see the "normal" side of BDSM. Yes my pet likes to submit, wear leather and heels for me... But what about that she is also a caring mother? That she walks the kids to school everyday, or that she likes to catch the occasional football game, or cooks a great dinner. Or on the Dom side, that I am just a IT guy (ok maybe a bit more geeky then your average Joe), that I like to play paint-ball and rock clime...
Basically that just because we like the fetishes that we or live the lifestyle that we do that it doesn't mean we don't live like everyone else.
Just my two cents.
