I've actually been shown a couple of the newby packs by a couiple of newbys who were worried that it was too bland for them....
When I first heard of them I thought "You bloody beauty!!!!!!" being a dumb ass I was thinking it was a newby sub all packed up with chains, shackles, leash and collar as well as a flogger or two, ready to be shipped out to a Master ~~~~ [:-][:)]
Those things were the worst sort of dogma and propaganda and I think it led to a lot of wronged expectations. They were all the rage when I first got into things a few years ago and was just wondering if anything has changed?
I've seen them, but that was at least 2 years ago now. When I saw the "the submissive is in control" all over the place, I kind of thought maybe I'm supposed to call myself a submissive, though my thoughts/feelings are distinctly not submissive. [8D] M
