So I guess I shouldn't be, but I am entirely surprised that Hollywood has allowed for such an open expression of an obscure kink in a movie. I just watched the babygirl trailer by A24 (the new one with Nicole Kidman). It is safe to say I have watched all forms of the trailer an unhealthy number of times. I feel entirely outed. It is as though someone took several pages out of my diary of fantasy confessions and put it on the big screen. I'm excited to see how it plays out in the theater. I think this might surpass the Secretary for me - but we will see. For me it's the conditioning portion - him using her desires as the anchor to pull her into submission. I'm curious how close to a true expression of the M/s dynamic it will present. 

I guess I'm curious to know how this complete stranger knew that she had these particular sexual proclivities. To the scale they are presenting it, it's not a super common sexual expression. It definitely involves a power and psychological element. It doesn't work of the counterpart can't get inside your head and have the same enjoyment of delayed sexual gratification as the slave/bottom. Somehow people were able to tell this about me too before I began exploring my kinks or even having sex. What is it? Is there some telltale sign? Is there something tattooed on our forehead?
