ORIGINAL: MisPandora I'm sorry, but we're under no obligation, simply because we've taken the plunge and gained vast experiences to have to take on every novice that wanders down the pike and wants a kink exploratorium. If so many vanilla explorers weren't out there treating women like they're a ride at the carnival, you'd probably not have so many femdoms saying "no novices", myself included. It'd be more disrespectful for the novices to take them on, use them and toss them out because we're really not looking for a novice, wouldn't it? The only flaw in this logic is you're describing a guy, who could be a novice or a well-experienced man. Furthering my point that novices get a bad rap. Theoretically I've been learning about this lifestyle longer than I should have been but because I'm 25, I automatically get tagged with the "novice" rap. Um, no. Novices get the tag from me when they state they have no tangible BDSM experience, or have only had one encounter, or because they self-identify as a novice. They could be a worldly CEO but if they don't have tangible BDSM experience, they're still a novice -- thinking about performing brain surgery doesn't qualify you to open a cranium. While BDSM isn't brain surgery, it's a suitable comparison in context, because you really don't know the lay of the land and all that it entails physically as well as mentally until you're really engaged in it. I've been a mentor and educator long enough to understand the difference between a 23 year old who has been involved since he was 18, and a 45 year old who has masturbated to kinky thoughts for his entire adult life and never taken the plunge until his approach to me via email. I don't consider that 23 year old to be a novice, although there are alot of dominas out there that would just because of his age. Ironically, do you know who is more likely to misrepresent his experience? The 45 year old. Age has little to do with "experience" unless it's impacting them because of their inability to access RT BDSM venues for the 18-21 crowd. Age factors into maturity, and that's an entirely different factor that women desire in a relationship. We've ALL been novices at some course in our journey.
