I’ve had a close friend for over 20 years—we grew up together and have always been like brothers. One night, we were out for drinks and chatting about random stuff when they casually mentioned they were massively into being submissive. Not just a little bit, either—they had a full list of specific scenarios and dynamics they were into, and they talked about it so openly it completely caught me off guard. After knowing them for so long, I couldn’t believe this was something they’d never mentioned before.

What surprised me even more was how their openness made me feel comfortable enough to share some of my own interests... It was the first time I’d ever talked about them with anyone, and it felt like a weight had been lifted. It made me realise how important it is to have honest conversations like that without worrying about judgement.

So, what’s the wildest or kinkiest thing someone has casually shared with you, especially if it came out of nowhere? Did it catch you off guard, or even encourage you to open up?
