For years now I have wanted to bring up the subject of bondage in a conversation just to see how people might react. The problem was finding a way to work it in without being too obvious.
I thought that it would be easier with the popularity of Fifty Shades of Grey but that didn’t work out. Even though bondage had a brief flirtation with being mainstream I never got an opportunity to try my test. Then I had another sort of chance to see how someone might react.
At work I contacted one of my suppliers by email, a rather attractive woman named Bridgette, and asked her to send me a quote on a piece of equipment that I needed. I usually get an immediate reply from her but this time it took six days.
She wrote;
Hi Nelson
So sorry for the delay, I have been tied up in training this week.
This was my chance and I replied;
Hey Bridgette
You’ve been tied up! Sounds like fun. I hope you’re well trained now. Thanks for the quote.
I hoped that Bridgette might make a comment that would tell me one way or the other how she felt about being “tied up”. I should have known better. All I got in reply was LOL.
Has anyone else ever slipped a comment into a conversation to see what sort of reaction it might get?
