My boyfriend and I met online to explore our kinks. We’d both been in relationships with kink-shaming people who screwed with our heads. Since we weren’t thinking it was more than a hookup, we put all our baggage on the table early and wound up becoming friends. Eventually, we realized we had a real connection…

“Lisa has recommended you!” Awww, she has?! When I get a LinkedIn recommendation from someone I respect and admire professionally, I feel both honored and encouraged to return the favor.
