Well, I can tell you that no, you aren't the only one. My dad was a Baptist Preacher while I was growing up... when I was an adult, he moved across the country. I bought a puter so we could talk (voice in messenger) and save my phone bill... and we instant messaged a lot as well. Well, one day, he and I were talking in yahoo messenger, and I was multi-tasking and chatting with a few other friends as well... all was fine until I typed (yes, I look at the keyboard when I type) and hit enter then looked at the screen and I realized I had just sent a VERY BDSM related post to my dad! My heart skipped 5 beats and stopped dead in my chest as I sat there staring at that little yahoo window for what felt like an eternity. Then, up pops a "file transfer" from dad... I figured it was more pictures of that danged Mt. Ranier... so I accepted them, assuming he hadn't yet seen my post, that he was looking for the pics to send me. When they came, I opened them, and they were bondage pics!! (nice ones to if I might say so myself). Well, when dad responded, it was as if I had never sent that message to him, and in all the years since, not a word has ever been spoken about the day we "came out" to each other.
