Kink and BDSM were the two things that Myrina and Tristan said were a "hard no" when they entered the lifestyle. Naivete, ignorance, and unfamiliarity with this new world led to a lot of apprehension and fear. So much so, that those were the only things they specifically called attention to in their swinger profiles that they would not explore. Then they met "The Captain". Deciding to open their minds and gently push their boundaries, they agreed to meet a single man who was clearly active in the kink and BDSM realm. Little did they know, meeting The Captain would change their lives and become a pivotal step in their lifestyle journey.
