Hi, I hope you don't mind my reply. I'm still very new here.
The experiences I read from this thread reminded me of many of my own. When I was 6 or 7 I would play with my brothers and I would always be the girl who got kidnapped by the indians or was held for ransom in the bank robbery or at the castle or whatever. I would pretend to fight but they would take old pantyhose and tie my hands behind me in a chair and my ankles to the legs of the chair. Another piece of pantyhose was usually tied through my mouth as a gag. I didn't know why I loved it so much, but I was always a little dissapointed when they finally untied me and let me go.
Then when I was 11 my best friend and I used to pretend we were sister animals. Sometimes we'd be wild cheetahs who got caught and put into cages where we would be trained for the circus. Other times we were stray puppy dogs who crawled around and barked and ate from a plate on the floor. It was never really sexual, but I definately felt something. I just never knew what it was. I always liked the feeling of pretending that the person I cared so much about was so helpless and that they could see me so helpless too. Even now I still have a serious puppygirl and ponygirl fetish.
I didn't really find out about real bdsm until I was like 15 and I found an old copy of an HOM magazine under the dumpster behind a grocery store. It was kind of smelly and in bad shape, but from the minute I saw the pictures of all of these beautiful naked girls tied up with rope and chained and with their mouths filled with gags I was in heaven. I couldn't stop imagining myself in those positions and I kept the magazine under my mattress until I was 18.
I also started having more fantasies about being kidnapped, or being part of a harem of girls in my high school for this really cute football player I liked where we were all cheerleaders by day but at night each of us had to wear a different color of lingerie and when we weren't satisfying him, we were free to play with each other.
Now I've had lots of real time play, mostly as a submissive, but my fantasies just keep getting more and more extreme. Though there are some things that I would never ever do in real life that make me so wet in my fantasy life, I've never seen anything wrong with making fantasies as extreme as you want them to be. After all, that's what they're there for.
Sorry to be so long. I hope to be more involved in your forum and to write some more stories that don't suck. Thank you.
