Where does it come from, this desire for kink?
Where from our lives, do we find the link?
Many say its not normal, to tie and to bind,
Why not I do ask, from some place in my mind
Many use part of the life with their love
They know not there's a name for that stuff
Were they to be told, deny it they would
For to them it is bad, or so they've been told
Lucky are they who find out young
For they have the luxury of time
There are many who find out later
Many never find out at all
Where does it come from, this need and desire
Deep down inside is where resides the fire
That need for more than just the basics
The desire for love so deep and so true
Those from vanilla they have that need
Sadly most of them do not find what we have
Why is that you ask, as they do too
The reason dear friends is not that hard
Not that awkward to grasp
It is just that our life demands, more of us all
From negotiations, and talks, the love and the trust
The honour and respect, the passion and lust
All those things that relations of all kinds should possess
We have so much more than others could know
But this is not saying from whence did it come
Do we really know, can we really say?
Not easily can words describe our ways
All we know is that we, in love and desire
Need more than a tickle or light pat on the rear
The flogger, the crop, the whip (oh yes, dear!)
The need for control, out of love not from fear
The need to be controlled by one we hold dear
Ritual, for some, is the spice that's desired
For others the scene, with costume and set
For some it's the mind games, they love and adore
For others it's age play from AB to Teen
For each there's a style, a kink to enjoy
You don't need to be stuck with only one kink
Just figure out what makes you hot and/or wet
The mix and match, find what you like
Guys, gals, either or both
Just you and one other, maybe three, four or more
Is it the thought of the toys, the flogger and crop?
Does the paddle and bench make you bend and squirm?
How do you feel, what makes you firm?
That is our lifestyle, our love and our kink
Still we know not where enters the kink
We don't bother too much to locate the link
All we do is enjoy what we call kink

Lifestyles are lifestyles, and I concur with you basically with your premise . . . I am a conservative thinker, with a wild-ass past . . . In simpler days, the kinky, as you put it, took their pleasures out behind the barn, to use a metaphor, in other words they did what they did and didn't go around bragging about it . . . Times have changed, of course, what even I in my heyday of the sixties and seventies, would have thought unthinkable is happening on our streets, in our schools, in our theaters and movies . . . There is no bad anymore, and although you seem to think everyone looks down on you, I basically imagine the people around you are much like me, do what you wanna and leave me alone and we will get along wonderfully. I sense a bogus affinity for someone to blame for your lifestyle, although I am certain that in the past you probably have had trouble . . . Be yourself . . . Don't look for trouble and nine out of ten times their won't be any . . .
