Open mindness

[Da****]

What gives us the confidence to address ourselves as open-minded people in a kinky relationship or in general in a kinky environment?

[Ra****]

Simple, it's knowing that somewhere someone wants and or needs that kink or that type of relationship you can provide

Who would like to introduce me and help me figure out my kinks

[sa****]

Doming people that are older then and or taller then me 👍

As I do not have a Dominant Personality, I am a natural Dom, I get My confidence from My submissives. Each requires a different Dom trait, and when I take all of them to the club... I feel like the King.

This. And I don’t know if it’s confidence or comfortableness (wasn’t a word till now). I’m very comfortable in my skin, and the non-normative nature has been normalized in my head. Maybe the confidence comes from all of these things, and more.

How else would we find others like ourselves? Closed mouths don't get fed.

This is supposed to be a community that supports it's self and gives us all the freedom of expression.

To “address” oneself is to speak to oneself.. You might mean “identify”

I know I know- I’m a horrible horrible person

[Da****]

I do agree with you. “Identifying “ was a better word. @LeenaSubs

I'd say its your own mindset. Not directed at you personally, more generally, but do you kink shame others? Do you look down on people different from you? Do you hate/dislike people for the things that make them them? I'll say it has to do with how you view others rather than yourself. Another general thing, but just because someone else is into ***s, doesn't mean I'm going to look down on them, I'll just say I hope you find someone else who is into it and move on. Open-minded just means that you're open to thinking/trying/seeing different things that you wouldn't normally think/do/see.

I think the concept of 'open mindedness' is, well.

someone who is closed minded might very much simply have thoughts on how things are, or how things should be - they're not really that open to ideas new to them, even if these ideas are things that don't affect them (i.e. "other people enjoy kink in a way I don't understand!")

and ultimately, closed-mindedness is just as prevalent in the kink community as anywhere else

If a person is, it's one of things that is not needed to be addressed. It's just is. Also, I see myself open, but another might view me as close minded. I have a very dark grey (official color) skirt. Few people said it was black.

Generally confidence comes from within. Your ability to communicate your kinks doesn’t rely on your self confidence. It relies more on the trust within the relationship. You can share what feels good to you and what doesn’t. I went through the same recently and now she enjoys following the instructions I gave her to pleasure me.

Being accepted by others

I think I open minded before any of this I think we start off open minded then it closes as the years ago by

In my opinion, open mindedness is a huge trait in an experimentalist. When I say I'm open minded I'm saying , I'm willing to try new things I either was never aware of or things outside of my comfort zone. I will test and destroy boundaries and hard limits to please my partner and learn who I truly am sexually

[je****]

Hell I’ll try any and about had because I wouldn’t ask someone to do something I can’t with that said just meet and play don’t worry about it me I have an open door policy life it too damn short be happy for both don’t catch feelings or be used just part ways move on there’s many society labels them freaks but we’re the normal ones I know that wasn’t exactly your question but it was on my mind👋🏻

[Ha****]

Iv always been open minded because im open to experiment/try anything once within reason.
Accept other peoples opinions and feelings even if i dont agree or understand because everybody interprets, values, prioritises everything differently.
I could keep going
