My first step into bdsm was actually through romance novels, more specifically, Harlequin romances.
I stole a few from my mom first when I was in junior high, and as I was packing up some things today, I noticed I still had the first two.
They are worn and slightly yellow, but the silverfish never got to them.
Any time I think about my kidnapping fantasy, I think about the title, The Loving Swords. It was the first book I read that had the idea of falling in love with your captor. I would later read a few that actually delved into power exchange and scene play. I love scene play, but the power exchange and creating that bond with someone is so much more important to me. I love reading about those types of relationships more than just reading sex or kink scenes.
But it all started here.
