I thought you'd...

I thought you'd

noticed them before

and just ignored them.

Them what? It's a strap

to a suitcase.

No, it's not.

OK. That's...

Do you seriously

want to know what it is?

No...

OK.

I didn't think you did.

But to me, I didn't

find anything.

It looks like a strap

to a suitcase to me.

It's not.

OK.

Today we are going

to a BDSMcentric munch.

It's like

the "Fifty Shade of Grey" stuff.

It's where people who like

to be tied up and beaten

or tying up

and doing the beating,

like, go to meet, hang out,

oh, talk about stuff.

Michelle, every time

she goes into little mode...

i.e., the baby... I have to take

the role of the daddy...

Bada bing, bada boom.

Michael, voice-over: which means

I have to, uh, basically

take care of my...

my little girl,

like, whether it be

play with her nonsexually.

You can believe it or not,

but I'm still trying

to dip my toe into it, so

there's a lot I have to learn.

Will you open the jar up for me?

Mm-hmm.

We... we need to get, like,

the jar-opener thing.

I knew you'd like it.

OK.

Item one... the switch.

That'll be good for when

you're really, really bad...

or if I just feel like using it.

Guess which one I'm probably

gonna go with today.

I don't even have to guess.

I'm usually not that bad.

I'm usually a good, little girl.

Ooh, the flogger...

nice little...

little, spiky thing.

Yes?

Hello.

Hello.

Howdy, howdy.

How you guys doing?

Not too bad...

Getting ready.

Beautiful Sunday morning.

Getting ready?

Saturday.

Getting ready for what?

We're getting ready

for the... the partytytyt.

We're gonna run into our

friend Caitlyn down there.

She'll... she's gonna

buy us a present.

Mm-hmm.

What?

You really got to stop

using names, you know?

Heh heh.

That's right.

Whew...

So is there anything

special going on?

What's...

what are you guys...

what are you guys

gonna be doing?

Well, it's gonna be...

like, it's sort of...

sort of like a costume party,

but not like Halloween

costumes, more like...

Like, what's the...

what's the theme of...

Well, you know, it's a...

well, it's, you know...

it's a... it's a BDSM

and kink and fetish group.

Hmm.

I was nervous to tell you,

but there was also

a part of mind

that says, "If she finds

restraints on my bed"

"or a flogger in my closet,

I don't want her to

assume the worst."

Yeah.

I know that this

makes you uncomfortable,

but I also... I feel like

if I didn't tell you,

it would make things

more uncomfortable.

And I trust you in your...

your intuition

and your... your ability

to express yourself and what

you are comfortable with

and what you're not

comfortable with

and not let people

take advantage of you.

Ever, ever.

Yes, so...

but, yeah, I don't...

I don't go there in my mind...

And that's...

that's good.

You know, I... I don't...

I don't want...

because you're my...

my little girl and...

I know. I know,

and I don't... I don't...

see things from my point

of view, too,

a little bit, so...

Michelle, voice-over:

We went over to a party

in their house,

which is sort of in a secluded,

undisclosed location.

It was starting to get dark,

and people were starting

to show up in droves.

We went downstairs

to the basement,

which is where

the big sitting area is

and also the dungeon,

and I was wearing a little skirt

and a little shirt

with nothing under it

except for a diaper,

or dider, depending on

how old I am in my head

when I say it.

It's just in case,

but I'm a big girl.

I can go to the potty.

I had hot dogs for dinner

and Oreos.

They actually called me

little girl and asked me,

"What are you drawing?

Oh, it's a cat.

What does a cay say?"

and, you know,

"You're so cute,"

and things like that.

This girl came over

who was in puppy mode.

She was barking and stuff

on all fours,

and she wanted to cuddle

with us,

and she really, like,

you know...

she was being really cuddly

with me.

Baby, don't cry

Oh, my darling

You're a dying red star

Michelle, voice-over:

It was very wonderful.

Darling...

How are you feeling?

Light. I feel light

and floated,

divine almost.

Feel like I'm

on top of the world.

Boop. That's how

you're supposed...

that's how... that's

a good way to feel.

I shouldn't say

that's how you're

supposed to feel,

but that's definitely

a good way to feel after one

of these kinds of parties.

Michelle, you were great today.

Yeah.

"Men and women

indoor pool."

Yes, for men and women.

What about people

who are nonbinary?

Can't they swim, too?

Oh, my goodness,

it feels so warm,

it's like bath water warm.

I don't believe you.

Aah! I didn't know

there was another step.

Ha ha!

I seriously, like, was telling

my friend Sam about you.

Mm-hmm.

I told him about all

these different things.

You've got, like,

a great personality

You are... you're

really funny.

She's sexy.

Ha ha ha!

Ha ha!

It wasn't until

he made a joke like,

"Why would she date you?

Is she blind or something?"

I'm like, "Oh, yeah.

She's blind."

Ha ha ha!

1, 2, 3, cannonball!

Uh!

She's

the one for me

And I just can't

live without her

My arms belong

around her

I'm so glad I found

her once again

I'm going toward the bottom.

Yeah?

I am.

Oh, I'm...

I'll follow you.

I don't care

what you do. Ha!

Well, I'll... I'll do

whatever you do, Miss Suzy.

Ha ha! OK.

Where are you in the...

in the world right now?

What is it that you're...

Um, well,

I'm not really doing much,

but I'm... that's

gonna change soon.

Right.

I'm...

I... I'm kind of living

with my mom right now,

and I was living

in some isolation,

hardly ever going out.

I didn't really have any friends

except for this one community

that I was involved in.

I... I was just...

So what's this community

that you were talking about?

Uh, this has been...

this is going on

in my head far before

I graduated, uh, high...

Perkins, but I knew

I couldn't get involved.

I wanted to get involved

with the BDSM community,

so when I moved to Maine,

I did get involved,

and I found extreme happiness,

catharsis, and freedom

through that community.

OK, so, uh, I mean, I'm...

I'm not... I'm not,

uh, shocked

or appalled or anything.

I mean, I...

I don't know

a lot about that community.

I know enough to include it

in my sex ed.

discussions,

and people have very different

opinions about it.

You know, everything's

on a continuum,

so there's degrees...

Exactly.

So there are degrees of things,

so sounds to me

like you're safe.

I'm very much so,

Right. OK.

And I only give up power

to people who have earned it.

I don't, like...

because I don't...

You know, it's like

I don't give up power

to people who think that

I don't deserve power,

and, um, there's this

wonderful term I've heard

from another blind person

in the kink world.

She has this term called

nonconsensual age play,

which is what she calls it

when people on the street go,

"Oh, sweetie, honey,
