I think reading Kidnapped as a youngun was when I had the first dawning possibility that there was this....not exactly sexy thing....but it could make you feel a little sexy? (NB not "sexy", more of an inchoate Good feeling) and....it was something specific. Baby's first sort of knowledge of kink! (Another dawning was provided by a Star Trek comic in which Kirk et al were tied up and freed by some kind of fluffy pink alien poodle which gnawed on their bonds. Sadly my mother threw it away because she thought it was trashy. Kidnapped was okay as Classic Lit though!)
