Is it a sign of weakness ?

[Euryleia]

A bigger sign of weakness is not asking for advice or assistance from those with greater experience. Not only are you doing yourself a dis-service but you could harm your submissive if you attempt some things without proper training--blood play, rope work, fire are the biggest examples but there are plenty of other things that you won't learn from a book or porn site.

Post questions that you might have or search the forums to see if the question has been asked before. If you need a mentor, look around forums like these and see which Dominants/Tops give responses that you respect.

Yes, look around a bit. Asking questions that have been asked and answered hundreds of times will get you little in the way of good responses. Asking for clarification though will make it clear you bothered to do some advance work and will earn you points (so to speak) amongst the community.

Look around a bit. Look at the variety of styles so you can pick the advice of those you like best. Everything you hear won't necessarily work together.

Good advice E.
