So I have a very close friend, we’ve been friends since kindergarten actually.

Lately we’ve gotten much closer and he’s told me that he’s into BDSM. I am also into it(the lighter side of it), but I’ve never done it.

I’ve been thinking about it lately, and I realized I am the dominant one in the friendship, mainly because he’s quite introverted. I love to hear his side of things and help him gain confidence in himself whenever he finds the words. he’s also told me he’s a switch, leaning more towards a dom in terms of sex.

I don’t want a romantic relationship with him, but I kind of realized I would love to be “topped” by him and let him take control of me for a while, as I find myself doing a lot to help and influence him otherwise(seeing him in power makes me very happy).

My questions are:

Have any of you had a bdsm relationship with one of your friends(not romantically tied), and what advice can you offer about this?

And how do I approach him about this?

And any advice you think is relevant would be greatly appreciated!
