AfterDark's BDSM Project

Getting it on: Initiating the transition to a BDSM lifestyle

Written By:  Laura cherrypop12

I don't want this to be a boring article piece.

That's my goal.

But I do also want to help inform you guys and share knowledge from my personal viewpoint and experiences. Now some of you may know that although I don't mind sharing information about my day-to-day life, I'm not a big 'bare your heart' sharer and sorry to disappoint but this is still not going to be that. Now based on what I'm going to write you guys may gather some things but I'm not about to confirm or deny anything.

After all a girl's gotta have her secrets.

So with that said, I'm also going to switch up the boring, me talking (writing) with snippets of story, because duh that's what I like to write.

As you may have gathered from the title, I don't want to talk about what BDSM is and isn't. That's been covered plenty and a simple Google search will tell you more than enough. That means, I'm assuming all of you heathens reading this have got it in your heads and hearts that this is for you. That you want to try this. Or maybe you just want to read this for the hell of it. I don't know and I'm definitely not here to judge.

This piece is going to help you out in maybe going about attaining that. Or at least one way in which you could approach it.

*************************

Now as I said I can only write from my experiences and viewpoint so you're getting this from a heterosexual, cis-female in her 20's considering the role of a submissive. Let's also state that in the story scenario I'm going to write, our protagonist's name is Ali and her partner's is Jay.

(Why Ali and Jay? Well it's the only name I could think of that could be a short form of a name from different religions and backgrounds. Got a better suggestion, let me know.)

Now Ali is in her early 20's. She's got a boyfriend of a couple of years and they've had sex. In fact, it's pretty good sex. But she's been getting into erotica lately and reading stories by the fabulous cherrypop12 (oh heyyy-as if I wasn't going to do some shameless self-promo!).

She's got Ali hot and bothered and thinking about being dominated by her boyfriend. Ali's not sure what to do about it but she goes ahead and read the PSA book about BDSM on AfterDark and a bunch of random Tumblr pages.

It's all sounding like a wet dream.

Her boyfriend tying her up, teasing her, worshiping her, making her scream in endless pleasure. It's also all sounding completely unachievable.
One day she musters up the courage to say 'fuck it' and go for it.

Though....hang on.

Sure she's pretty convinced she's a submissive but how do she know her partner's a dominant?

Well, let me allow Ali and Jay to take it from here....

*******************

Ali dabs on the lipstick quickly, just a tint since with Jay around it never stays on too long anyway. She knows he's waiting on her downstairs and she's doing her best to ensure they leave on time, but it's hardly her fault. The dress she had planned for the party just didn't quite...look right. So now she'd reverted to her second option, a classic black dress. The one Jay always says he likes.
Buckling up her heels, she grabs her clutch and phone and she's done.

He stands, switching off the TV as she clatters down the stairs. He swings on the blazer and she lands on that bottom steps, he winds his arm around her waist causing her to gaze up at him.

"You look beautiful. But I thought you were going to wear the other dress?"
Ali feels her cheeks flood with blood, "it wasn't looking right. And you always said you liked this one better anyway."
Jay gives her an indulgent smile giving her a chaste kiss as thanks.

Pulling back, he grabs her coat, helping her into it before opening the door and locking up.


Ali gazes out the window, tapping her foot in nervousness as she tries to calm herself down. This isn't a big deal but it's a big deal for her. Her mother's 40th birthday means that a lot of her extended family and family friends are going to be coming down for the party, which means introducing Jay. Her immediate family naturally love him...now at least, so that should mean her distant family should, right? God, she hopes so. It wouldn't exactly matter to her but it would certainly make things a whole lot easier.

She's still mulling things over in her head when she feels a hand on her knee, ceasing the movement.

"Relax, it's a party, we'll have fun," states her boyfriend from across the drivers seat.
Ali shoots him a nervous look, "I don't know about that."
"Trust me, it's going to be okay. We have each other at least."
That is true.
Ali takes a sharp inhale and exhales slowly nodding to him.
Yeah it'll be fine.
