Suzy, let me ask. How full is your social calendar? How many activities do you engage in on a regular basis with friends outside your home? How many friends do you invite over for dinner and vice versa? Are you happy and fulfilled in your male life and is the CDing for you just a little thing you do on the side once in awhile, and nothing more than this? If it is, then you are correct, I should have mentioned that for some CDers the activity is nothing more than an occasional, non-fetishistic, hobby.
But if the CDing takes up more time and energy than that, there are umpteen reasons why people choose to keep it in the closet. I can't possibly address each one in a short post.
... and each reason to keep it closeted is valid. As I said earlier, it is a question of balancing the CDing needs with the CDer's other, non-CDing needs.![]()
