Missed opportunity

[Choupichamp]

Hi everyone !

I'm almost sure this kind of topic already exist, but when I tried to find it I wasn't able to... So sorry if I missed it.

This is my first time speaking on a topic, being a long time lurker (especially because I'm shy and afraid of kink shaming ), and I admire people who introduced bondage with family, friend, etc... I've always thought that if I haven't done it myself, it's just because I've never had any opportunity with it.

And last week, I had one, I think, and didn't jumped on it.

We were watching TV on the sofa with my GF. It was an anime called "Demon Slayer" (pretty sure you know it ). She never made any comment about the rare times we saw a tied up girl. For example, one of the main character of the anime permanently wears a gag made in bamboo, and no comments. I wasn't paying attention to that anyway, because I never searched to introduce my GF to TUG yet.
But that time, in the episode, the last sequence was a demon asking a question to a woman, which is bound and gagged with a sort of OTM gag. The episode ended here, and no comments, again.
The day after, she put on TV, to watch the following. Like a lot of anime series, the next episode begin with the last sequence of the previous one.
So we saw again the sequence. But this time, which was very surprising to me, my GF made a react : "She can't answer you, she has something on her mouth !". I immediatly thought : "She's right, but it's only a OTM gag, not very effective, I'm sure she could.".
Suddently, I stopped thinking. Because I realized that if I told her this, with her competitive spirit, I'm 80% sure she would like to try it.
At the moment, my brain was filled with questions, like "What will she think if I say that ? Will she wondering why I'me sure about it ? What if she just doesn't try and just judge me ?..."
So I haven't made any response. Just thinking after that it was a golden opportunity, and regret I didn't try anything...

But I hope an other opportunity comes a day.

And you ? Any other missed opportunity ?

PS : I'm sorry if my english is bad, I live in France (maybe one of the cause about my fears of kink shaming ) and a long time passed since the last time I wrote in english. Hope you enjoyed anyway !

It's better to do something and regret it than not to do something and regret that!
But is kink shaming a big thing in France?

An opportunity missed is an opportunity lost. Act faster in the future Young Grasshopper.

I'm sure I've missed opportunities. I am terrible at picking up on signs and when I do I 'm scared if being wrong.

I haven’t thought about this in a loooong time, but there was an event that happened back when I was in 11th grade. I was in chemistry class, sitting next to a couple of really adventurous, outgoing (and cute!) girls that were at my table. We were all good friends, and they really helped get me out of my shell back then.

It was at the end of class and the teacher had walked out of the room for something, and everyone was talking and just waiting for the class to end. I don’t remember the details of what led up to it, but one of the girls had a piece or rope (or twine) and was playing with it. She looked over at me, and then started tying the rope around my chest and to the chair. This was the first time anything like THAT had ever happened, so I…well, just froze. I’m sure she could see that I was definitely enjoying it, and she said something to the effect of, “I bet you’re liking this.” Not in a smirking or judging kinda way, just in a matter-of-fact kinda way. Yes, cute girl, I definitely was.

Looking back, I really wish I had had the adventurous spirit to just put my hands behind my back and say something like, “Why stop there?” Knowing her (and I knew it then), she was the type of girl who would have absolutely had fun and played along. Of course, we were still in class and there’s only so much tying that could’ve been done anyway.

This was all well before I ever made it known to anyone else that I really enjoyed being tied up. That wouldn’t happen until several years later in my college days.
