I started persuading other kids to tie me up or let me tie them up at about age 8, but I didn't really get started till my second girlfriend, when I discovered that she got excited when I held her hands behind her back. In a very few sessions I had progressed through tying her up, to caning her ass, to chaining her spread out on the bed for a session that left her saying "every muscle in my body aches... it was worth it!" Then, damnit, she went back to her old boyfriend, even though she complained that she had to tell him how to do the knots.

But after that I never looked at a vanilla partner, and since then I've been married to a pain-slut who loved to scare the girls in her office by showing off her bruises, owned a lifestyle slave for not long enough, and tied and torture-fucked more subs than I can remember. Freud said that the secret of happiness is to achieve in adult life what you dreamt of in childhood. Works for me...
