sooooooo, my ass is purple and bruised, which is amazing. but when i asked to be beaten, i totally forgot it was swimsuit season. not that i regret it, but i DO live in so cal, and go to the beach at least twice a week. i really dont want to go out and buy board shorts, especially since master just bought me a nice, revealing new bathing suit bottom... so, should i attempt to explain away teh bruise to my friends, many of whom know i am into bdsm, or would this graphic exhibition of my interests freak them out and make them think i need help... i dont know. has anyone had a problem/experience related to this?
