A Letter to My Younger Self
Advice on kink, fun, limits — and becoming the man I am today.
I've been meaning to write this for a long time. These are some things I think could have been helpful for younger me to know a long time ago. The obvious would be tips on which stocks to buy, and a little less obvious, that I should set aside some money every month for retirement no matter what. However, there was something I wanted to tell my younger self about kink. Since he was still at a place without any experience in it, I chose to take a broader approach, so the comments on kink don’t shock.
Dear me
There's something I want to tell you about kink, and other important things in life. That's right, you'll find kink is important to you. Not for your survival, but for your enjoyment of life, and that is the main thing that should drive you.
You'll find that there are so many fun kinks to play with in bed, and you know what? Even out of bed. You can explore both submission and domination. If you find yourself tempted to serve another guy, get on all fours for him, clean his apartment, or drink his piss, it's OK. Most of it is harmless. You can let yourself experience all these things, as long as you pay attention to your limits. Try to think clearly about what you don’t want to do and what might actually appeal to you if you tried. Trust me, a lot of it will.
Have fun
If we zoom out for a moment, I just want to encourage you to let yourself have fun. Just know that it gets better. If you feel like all the weight of the world is on your shoulders, relax. Most likely whatever is weighing on you now won't matter as much when you're older. That's partly because you'll have bigger problems to worry about than you have today, but also because you'll give fewer fucks.
