Well, to tell you the truth, I first read BDSM in books, without even realizing what it was, and after I finished, I went online to search for other books like that, and alas, BDSM! Naturally, being a teenager, I was intrigued and immediately began to learn as much as I could.
When I was a teen and first reading about BDSM, I didn't have an internet to look it up. I'm guessing by this, that you are younger than me. :)
I'm not really sure what the appeal is. Oh, yes I do, I think. (I'm still a very confused person) I loved the idea of having a dom who would take care of me. . . and I like pain. :D
So, does this imply that you are not capable of taking care of yourself? How did you survive before having a dominant?
My main misconception was that it would be a lot easier to find a dom then it is. Still looking (sigh). Also, I sort of thought that people into that sort of thing were psychopathic or something, but really, it's no more weird then anything else.
It's amazingly easy to find a dominant. Mostly, though, it requires a person to get off their ass, turn off the computer and attend a live event. Don't get me wrong, the internet can be a great place to meet a dominant. Hoever, I have been to many chats and many groups online and, I must say, I find most of them to have just become repulsive in the last three years or so. Mostly, you will find players and people just looking to fuck if you look online. Live events are more sercurely monitored, so the players and the clueless tend to be left wanting at the door.
I hope to learn a lot more about BDSM, basically, everything! I want to know everything about everything! I also hope to help people outside of the scene realize that BDSM isn't wrong or sick, and there is nothing wrong with those of us who participate, or, in general, tolerance!
Well, you've set a heck of a task for yourself. I'll give you one bit of wisdom: No one knows everything about BDSM. If they tell you they do, they're full of shit. Or they're full of themselves. Which is probably the same thing, really.
I'm not really sure what to consider myself...I've never really participated in BDSM because I'm still a minor living at home with no real sex life. I'm very interested and open to the idea though, and I'm hoping to find someone at college next fall.
Minor? Umm... How minor? Unfortunately, this is an adult site. However, there are people here (like me) that would be willing to talk to you privately about things to do to further your knowledge of BDSM, but in a more age-friendly setting. Email is always a good way to go. Legally, though, if you're a minor, you really shouldn't be perusing the adult sites.
However, I don't feel one should have to wait until their 18th birthday to learn about BDSM. I didn't. I started when I was about 15 and I'm probably a better person for it.
I like being submissive because it's very clear cut, straight forward, you do what your dom tells you. There isn't any responsibility falling on you, or having to make tough descisions. You're basically taken care of.
Ahhh.... no. You have a lot of responsibility, most of it to yourself. You, more than anyone, are responsible for your health, well-being and decisions. Dominants are not sugar daddies. Most adult people, whether they are dominant, submissive or neither, can take care of themselves just fine. If adults want someone to take care of, they don't look for submissives, they have children or pets.
Don't currently have a dom (or rather, one doesn't have me) but I want one!
