I remember seeing 'Bugs Bunny Superstar' at a theater, and there was a scene where he suddenly appeared in drag- the audience screamed with laughter!
Although I was corrupted long before that due to movie and TV scenes of damsels in distress. Even before I knew for sure what sex was, I was umm 'experimenting' with belts and bandanas. Didn't understand the 'why' of it, it just felt so good!
I haven't spent much time on this site, but I guess this thread is a good place to start : ) I gave a description before of the basics of how I got into this, but I'll give some more detail now.
I actually got started a little bit differently than many of you - at least from what I have read so far. I didn't really have any experience with bondage or any real interest in it until I was in my early 20s (about 2-3 years ago). It began when I was on a camping trip with some guy friends of mine and as part of a prank, they decided to tie me up. Initially I put up a great big struggle and was yelling and screaming trying to resist them, but once they had me all tied up to the tree, I started exploring the feeling a little bit and I realized I liked it a lot more than the situation warranted.
Fast forward from here and I quickly looked into finding someone online who was interested in bondage. Met a guy who was into it and seemed ok from my area. After conversing for a while we ended up meeting in real life, tried some stuff and ended up dating. We dated over the course of a year and he exposed me to a TON of bondage - more than I ever dreamed even existed! Well things started getting a little out of control on his part - meaning he was being too controlling and too intense for me and I ended up breaking things off.
Fast forward again, now I'm without a boyfriend, but still have a desire to engage in bondage. I find that I'm not very good with ropes and it's hard to get the same sort of sensations I was getting before. To achieve the desired goal I ended up coming up with some webbing restraints that I could put myself in and that's basically where I've been headed for the last year and a half or so. It's been amazing and fun! It's been great to meet like minded people and explore new ideas.
Saturday morning adventure cartoons aimed at boys - Shows like Jonny Quest and Space Ghost. Sometimes the heroes would get captured, maybe even chained in a dungeon. I would always find those episodes to be a very special treat, and I would be disappointed if several weeks passed without such a theme appearing in one of my regular favorite cartoons.
No real idea about where it came from. I just liked being tied up and also liked building traps for other folks and tying them up. Somehow I knew that I should not emphasize it too much so I was not that overt with it.
But I sure did enjoy being tied up before properly discovering masturbation. so before the age of 10 or 9 I guess. After that my exploration was quite swift. But only lately have i had the funds and ability to buy and make some more proper toys.
I was 11 when I got a police toy set as a gift, it had those great little plastic handcuffs among other things. My friends and I ended up playing with it a lot and I came to love the feeling of my hands bound behind my back. I would actually look forward to being alone so I could just put then on. The internet was a great help from that point on. By the time I was 15 I would more than often find myself in heels and a little dress that I borrowed from my elder sister when nobody would be home. I started using duct tape as a gag, my dog's "spare" collar was actually mine and those plastic handcuffs were replaced by a rope coil and zip-ties.
I remember playing 'Houdini' games with a friend at a very early age. Maybe somewhere between 7 and 8 years old. The trick was to tie the other one up and he had to try to escape. We played that game for hours. I do remember that i enjoyed it a lot. From then on it happed more when playing with other kids. Once the sexual desire kicked in my preference for ropes and bondage hided itself in the darness of my bedroom.
It's strange how much freedom can be felt in a tight bondage.
I envy all of You: You discovered Your kinks in childhood/youth years!
I started late, couple of years ago, curious why I tolerate pain so well, trying some office binders on my nipples (seen on some hungarian porn).
Combine this with my first tights (ski women tights bought by my beloved wife especially for my winter jogging), and lots of ropes around the house...
I still don't know what I'm in, or what not, and, although designed an tried few devices, chickened out almost every time: It's not clear for me if I want it (bondage/kink) for self-gratification (masturbation), for me and my wife (sex-life) or just for the thrill of it!...
@Xler25: You have no idea... And jogging with them on, no way to take them off... two days of "memories"...
It's better with ropes, but not so easy to hide...
Really have no idea. I know I was young. Like 5-6? Remember asking to be rolled up in my matchbox car carpet. Then I would get unwond spinning till I came out of it on the bed. I like the being rolled up part more.
Got my self stuck on a chair with a bike lock when I was about 8.
Always had a thing for pantyhose. Would always put on my moms heels for as long as I can remember walking around "look at me".
But not sure what started it all.
I remember walking around home depot as a kid looking at where the pillers meet the ceiling wishing I was tied tightly to the pole at the top.
Playing who can get out of the duct tape faster. Or cling film. Useally using the pole in the basement to anchor us to.
Cops and robbers with the handcuffs always escaping them to get restrained more tightly and better when I " got" cought again.
Come to think of it the mask may have alot to do with it. Her tied to the post with the bomb. I was young when that came out.
Playing tie-up games with neighbour kids, finding I had much more interest than most of the others, then the AH HA moment when I discovered I could do it myself. Age eight or nine maybe.
I remember I was around the age of 6 or 7. My parents were very protective so it was hard to do this in secret. I didn't have access to rope so i remember the first thing I tried was getting into a sports bag. Wasn't able to fully get in, but I liked the feeling of the cotton on my bare skin. I got very aroused by it even though I had no idea why. I'd say, you're born with the instinct to do bondage, and you'll need to be inspired to start doing it. I was around 8 or 9 when there was a short clip on TV about bdsm. A girl was tied up on a table and steel pins were inserted into her breasts. Another clip showed a girl being in vertical suspension being spanked with a flogger. She started to swing the more she got spanked. I remember how much it aroused me. Even remember the erections both instances have me.
Yet, I had no idea why, nor was I interested in sex.
Formally known as Slave_L.
I'm not yet very comfortable expressing my love for kink from my private life. I will therefor hide behind my username KinkInSpace and not allow any connections to who I really am. I'm sure you'll understand.
It would have been watching the cowboy shows on the TV.
The younger heroines or heroes often got tied up and gagged, and my friends and I would tie each other up when we played cowboys and indians.
One of the older girls was very good at tying people and I never escaped her ropes. She also taught us how to gag, either stuffing handerkercheifs in mouths and tying cloth over the top or making big knots on cleave gags.
Unfortunately her family moved abroad and we lost touch, I wonder if she grew up to be a Dominatrix.
Never confuse your ambitions with your abilities. If you can't free yourself, who will?
When your helpless, you have no choice but to wait.
