It depends on how comfortable I am with it. If it's really not my thing and I'm uncomfortable, then I would talk to them about why they didn't tell me sooner and what the expectations are going forward in the relationship. Maybe we could find a middle ground or alternatives that still make us both happy.

If I find out my partner is involved in BDSM or kink without me knowing, I will facepalm. Then I will try to understand why he kept it a secret from me and talk to him about what it means and how we can work on this together. But of course not before expressing disappointment that he didn't feel comfortable enough sharing such info with me earlier!

Well, first off I'd wanna figure out what it actually is. Like, there's a lot of misconceptions about BDSM and kink but if it turns out my SO was into that stuff then I guess we would need to talk about boundaries and consent cuz like safety first yk? We could also discuss any expectations each of us may have regarding the relationship so things can stay respectful n' such. After all your partner should make sure you're both on da same page before doing anything!

If I discovered my partner was into BDSM or kink without my knowledge, the first thing I would do is ask her to explain why she didn't tell me earlier. Then we'd have an open and honest discussion about it without judgement emphasizing our mutual respect for one another's interests. If things don't work out between us then that's on me but if there is a chance of staying together then I'm willing to consider other possibilities as long as they make sense to both parties.

At the end of the day, consent is key and if they were truly honest with their intentions then maybe there could be some understanding.

If I found out my partner was into BDSM or kink without telling me, I'd be disappointed. As a former soldier, discipline and respect are values that are very important to me and this would go against those ideals. However, instead of reacting impulsively I would try to learn more about the subject before making any decisions or judgements. It's possible that being open-minded could lead to understanding instead of resentment.

Even tho being open to different things can be totally fine, it's all about keepin the communication between us honest and upfront. At the end of da day, as long as nobody’s gettin hurt in any way then might kick back n let her experiment a lil bit - just make sure we discuss boundaries an stuff first.

If I discovered that my partner was involved in BDSM or kink without my knowledge, I would take some time to try and understand why they felt like they needed to keep it from me. Communication is key in any healthy relationship, so once enough understanding of the situation had been achieved, I would then have a conversation with them about our thoughts and feelings on the subject. This could include exploring if this dynamic feels right for us both, how we can make sure everyone's boundaries are respected when something new is being tried out together, as well as discussing safety measures that need to be taken into consideration. Above all else though, respect for each other must remain at the forefront - only by respecting and listening to one another will we ensure our disagreements don't become irreparable breaches of trust.

If I found out my partner was into BDSM or kink without telling me, I wouldn't be too happy. It would feel like she didn't trust me enough to tell me beforehand and it would bother me a lot. All the same, I guess there's not much that can be done except talk about it. Maybe we could both learn something new from talking about it! Who knows? Anyway, as long as she quits comiendo tanta fast food Mexicano then maybe everything will be okay in the end :)

If I found out that my partner was into BDSM or kink without me knowing, I'd probs just dump her. That's way too freaky for me and it shows she doesn't respect how I feel about stuff like that. Girls shouldn't be so wild anyway!

If I found out that my partner was involved in BDSM or kink without my knowledge, I would start by talking to them and asking as many questions as possible. Understanding why they're interested in it and how it makes them feel is essential for having an honest conversation about boundaries. At the same time, we could chat about our own views on consent and communication within relationships so that everyone feels safe expressing their desires openly. And if needed, there are experts who can help provide guidance around safety protocols when exploring these activities together.

If I discovered my husband was involved in BDSM or kink without my knowledge, I would be shocked and confused. It's important to have honest communication with your partner, so if something like this happens it needs to be addressed. My best course of action is probably to talk openly with him about the situation - how he got into any sort of relationship involving that lifestyle, what his expectations are from it and what boundaries we both agree upon regarding this matter. Ultimately understanding each other better may help us accept our differences and move towards a healthier dynamic engrained by openness and trust.

If I discovered that my partner was involved in BDSM or kink without my knowledge, the first thing I'd do is take a deep breath and not jump to conclusions. Kinks and interests can be as varied as people are, so it's important to keep an open mind. Once I'm feeling more centered, then I would try to start a conversation with my partner - calmly ask them why they didn't tell me sooner and carefully listen to their responses. Then we could discuss what activities made up those kinky interests, any potential risks associated with them (which could be physical & psychological) together - hopefully making sure that both of us feel comfortable before taking anything any further!

If you discovered that your partner was involved in BDSM or kink without your knowledge, I would suggest first taking some time to process the information and allow yourself to experience any emotions that may come up for you. Once you have done this, it is important to talk with your partner about why they kept their involvement a secret from you and what it means for both of you going forward. Depending on the nature of the activity your partner has been engaged in (and if neither of you are uncomfortable discussing these topics) having an open discussion can be very helpful in understanding each other's perspectives and reaching an agreement regarding activities moving forward. Ultimately, whatever decision comes out of such a conversation should involve mutual respect and consent from both parties.

If I discovered my partner was involved in BDSM or kink without me knowing, I'd first want to understand why they chose to keep it from me. It could be a difficult thing to open up about, so if there is something that’s making them hesitant then we need to talk and work on resolving it together. There's no easy answer to this situation since communication is essential for consensual relationships of any kind – whether vanilla or non-vanilla - but ultimately understanding each other would be the key here!

If I was to discover that my partner was involved in BDSM or kink without me knowing, the first thing I would do is try to have an open and honest conversation with my partner. It's important for any relationship to be built on trust, so understanding their motivations and intentions could help us move forward together. Additionally, researching about these topics can provide some good insight into why someone might take part; it helped me gain a better understanding of them even if we don't end up agreeing completely. Ultimately though, you should always make sure both parties are playing safely and consensually – communication is key!

Well, it would probly depend on the situation. I mean, if they're doing something dangerous or illegal then obviously that's a no-go. But beyond that, if they're just trying out some stuff with consenting adults in an ethical way and stuff like that, then I guess I'd be open to learnin' more about it and tryin' to understand why my partner is doin' it. At least we can have an honest convo about wants/needs before takin' any drastic action!

If you were to discover that your partner was involved in BDSM or kink without your knowledge, I would suggest having an honest and open conversation about it. You could start by asking them why they chose to withhold this information from you, and how they envision the relationship proceeding now that you know. Explain your own feelings on the matter - if applicable - so that both of you can work together towards understanding each other's perspectives better. With patience, openness, respect for one another’s boundaries, and above all love and understanding it is possible for two people with vastly different interests to have a fruitful relationship as well!

If I found out my partner was involved in BDSM or kink without my knowledge, I'd confront them and explain that their behavior is not only immoral but also unacceptable. This kind of activity violates the trust of a relationship, so if they wanted to go further with this lifestyle there needs to be an open dialog about it before anything else. It's important for me as a feminist that consent always comes at the forefront and should be respected in any sexual interaction.

If I discovered my partner was involved in BDSM or kink without my knowledge, the first thing I would do is talk to them. Open and honest communication is key for any relationship, so it’s important that both partners are comfortable expressing what they need out of their dynamic. From there, we could thoroughly discuss our boundaries and make sure both parties have a clear understanding of what each other desires from the experience(s). Lastly, depending on our level of mutual comfortability with the situation - education on how best to practice BDSM/kink can be discussed as well as ideas for further exploration and growth together.
