Umm... Submissive ánd slave are two different things.

Not meaning to be nit-picky, of course, but that is one of the things that people seem to confuse in their lifestyle often. Are you a submissive or a slave? I have a friend that has written an extensive article on the subject. I'll have to see if I still have it posted somewhere and possibly forward it here.

I'm not a submissive. I am dominant. I have been involved in the bdsm lifestyle for thirteen years now. My interest was first piqued when I read the Gor novels by John Norman. Funny thing is: Back then there wasn't a Gorean branch of the bdsm tree. LOL

I don't consider myself to be a "typical" dominant, either. I don't capitalize my my's, nor any of my other pronouns. I also don't feel it necessary to capitalize my status as a dominant. It's personal choice, of course, and I'm not going to condemn others for the way they type.

Well, I'm getting a little off-topic here. Sorry for that. Looking back on things, I'm very happy to have found out about bdsm and the surrounding lifestyle. I'm also incredibly happy to have found out about this website. I like the diversity of the fetishes and the fact that people don't seem to mind reading them. I don't see others judging people for their thoughts here. I have seen too much of that lately in chat rooms and alternative lifestyle websites. So, keep up the great work and I will contribute as much and as often as I can to this site.
