When we set out on our first foray into CD'ing, usually when we are kids, it is an innocent act born out of curiosity.
I assume there are some who take it no further, but for most of us we are drawn in for all the reasons we are familiar with.
While we remain single we can freely indulge in without answering to anyone, going deeper and exploring the other side to our nature.
Once involved in a relationship, this all changes. Some of us are able to reveal are CD'ing before or just after making a commitment to
a permanent relationship. We might (if we are lucky) be accepted, others are forced to practice CD'ing out of sight of are partners.
We have no control of our feelings once we are hooked. I don't know whether anyone has chosen to go for therapy (and been successful in
being able to leave CD'ing behind). As I face the prospect of coming out to my SO after a long time of being together (my collection is too
large and cannot stay hidden for much longer). I cannot help feeling that what started out as something quite innocent can take over your life.
I am probably not the only one that feels this way.
