When my parents learnt about my kinks, mainly because I decided to tell them rather than let them find out for themselves, they went the supportive and understanding route. They weren’t exactly thrilled at first, but they’ve always been very liberal-minded and their attitude is: “So long as you’re happy and nobody gets hurt.â€
But judging from their initial reaction, I don’t think they were ever into bondage themselves.
* Actually, I’m exaggerating here for effect. No one likes Primus.

Most parents tend would tend to be embarassed to find out about their child's sexual preferences, but I've never come across someone being disowned for their fetishes. The fact that they talked to you about it means that they've probably a little more understanding than most - but that can only be a good thing, right?
What I DO find odd is that you then showed them naked bondage photos of yourself. That's definitely abnormal. . .

They told me they accept my desire to be tied up. Does that seem like a normal response, especially after I showed them my picture of me tied up naked at the hotel room, and having my entire body tickled.
