Tis a question that could concern many, especially single people.
I am a male without an intimate partner, and have med.fet equipment and other 'stuff' in my home. I also partake in alt.sexuality activities that involve leather, etc. Ssssoooo, for me, it's not really a matter of where I keep my stuff, as long as I am around. This issue is, if something happens to me, and others have to come into my home for any reason, what will they think when they find dozens of syringes and needles, injectable B-12, Bacteriostatic Water, enema equipment, a rigid sigmoidoscope, other medical equipment, coupled with leather accoutrements, such as crops, paddles, floggers, and even a single-tail whip that I never had the opportunity to learn how to use. Oh, and don't forget the canes that I made in the past for myself and friends...
And, what about the paraphernalia used in the manufacture of Hermann's Bullets? Yep, tis not really a matter of where I hide my 'stuff'...
My concern is not where to hide the "play stuff"; it is having a close friend that knows of my interests, who can come in to 'detox' the house if something untoward were to happen to me. I am in the youth of my senior years, and many things can happen between now and the end of my days... Years ago, it was a drunk driver who said hello to me one afternoon when I was a pedestrian.
Just imagine if vanilla friends or some of my religious family came into my home, if something happened to me...
Now, that's a troubling thought!!!
