I'm just checking, my sickness for shoes may put me out of the running. And the spanking thing. I'm just saying. <BR/><BR/>Anyway - excellent post, Tam.

However, when that person hides those fetishes or is otherwise reluctant to publically acknowledge them, then they become an issue since their disclosure can potentially be used as blackmail to force someone to disclose a secret (at least thats the theory/fear). So, if you like to play with your team, and dont hide the fact, then its probably ok. But, if you are playing in the closet, it becomes an issue.Countertophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01059405469013648135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-1142528015851824092006-03-16T11:53:00.000-05:002006-03-16T11:53:00.000-05:00I had a Q until 2002 (since left that job) and the...I had a Q until 2002 (since left that job) and they're all about the gay questions in the interview.<BR/>-SayUncleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
