FastReply. With the assumption that .thedark. really meant to ask these questions and receive answers, and not serve as a springboard to bash those of us who have actually reached that half-century mark, consider: One reason someone might tout his experience in WIIWD is that many submissives find a certain comfort in being in the hands of someone who has actually done "this" before. This is not unique to submissives, of course. I would think most of us prefer to have someone with experience "work" on them, whether it be with a tattoo needle, a scissors or a proctoscope. Another reason (although perhaps misguided) is that in my experience as a Dominant who has been active in a community for a while, you learn there are a lot of REALLY BAD people out there; I'm talking about completely inept, dangerous jerks who can (and sometimes do) seriously damage other people. So I think it is natural for a person who believes they are not of that mold to remark on their experience. The flaw is (1) that belief can very quickly tip over into the "I'll save you, subbie" model if the motivations are not clear and (2) some of the worst so-called Dominants I know are long-time hangers on in the community. All that said, I would hope that if someone is attracted to me it is for more than the fact that I've thrown a whip or two in the past, but it still makes sense that someone with experience might in fact be more desirable than someone without.
