Those of you who have told partners or friends
How did you do it?
I'm about to be in the same position (i.e. he now knows vaguely about it thanks to a buzzed midnight conversation) but he says he wants to know... more. and I don't know how to say more. I can barely even say the dang word!
I'm on the intimate/"sweet" side of all this (don't know if there's a proper term or not lol), as in no dark side, gore all that nope. Just very into the vulnerability/trust aspect, I suppose... and like many others here I've had the interest since basically since birth, definitely at least since kindergarten. And I have been hiding since... well, basically since then :') but obviously didn't become anything potentially sexual until after puberty, and still doesn't have to be. Oftentimes it can just be almost painfully intimate/vulnerable, like about connection... but again, I've never discussed any of this with anyone IRL before, and now apparently I need to figure out how to do so like STAT.
So for a tl;dr, those of you who have either told your significant others or close friends about this particular interest... if you have any tips, I would so very appreciate any and all advice you could offer. :') I buzzedly mentioned it VAGUELY, we talked a very tiny bit about it, and he sent me a (not specifically asked for, but very wanted) recording of his heartbeat after we got off the phone. So that's where I'm at - very happy, somehow even MORE shy, and completely at a loss on how to answer his questions properly, oops.:)
