Hello all,

I've been into bruising for quite a long time, fantasizing about it for ages, and then, over the last several years, acting on it. I would very much like to get to know others who share this fetish. It's great to know that I'm not the only one, and I must admit, I'm quite surprised at how censored this particular topic is in our present day culture.

It seems that tattoos are everywhere, and nobody has any qualms about freely acknowledging a fetish or turn-on with them, while bruising is considered particularly offensive. Why is this? Bruises are like temporary tattoos that evolve and change on their own, and getting a black eye hurts a lot less than getting a tattoo (or so I'm told... I've never had a tattoo). Sure, society is ultra-sensitized to domestic violence, but why is it that people who want tattoos can go pretty much anywhere to get them and show them off publicly, while those who are into bruises must shamefully defend that they aren't a victim of an abusive relationship. What gives?

Anyway, I'm glad to be here and am looking forward to hearing from my fellow bruise fetishists.
