There are somethings to which there are no short cuts. Wisdom, maturity, patience, and experience. One must live, explore, understand, and continue growing. In response to the question posed by the young dom, life begins at 40. Everything up to that is childsplay. Part of that growth for me was understanding myself, and there have been years of introspection of my actions, choices, triumphs , and failures. What did I learn in that process? What was it I was meant to learn? Why did that person come in my life at that time? Why didn't that relationship work? What did I do to sabotage it? What personality blends best with my own? Everyone comes into my life at the right time to teach me something. It's up to me to have the wisdom and patience to learn. I disagree with many profiles (mostly male) that are overly sexual and/or geared strictly to BDSM. The core of good relationships are not physical, they are psychological. The physical is a by product of a good relationship. The good relationship enhances the physical. You had asked before of why some don't reply. For me there are keywords I don't respond to i.e slut and whore. If anyone identifies themself as a slut, I know we don't have a lot in common. I know myself. I know what personality type I blend with. And I am comfortable with myself. I did not arrive at this place over night. From years of seeing a pattern of self destruction I was able to understand, adjust, accept, and now pursue. Your impatience show immaturity. Immaturity in any relationship is a recipe for disaster. Immaturity in BDSM is a red flag for danger. I'll share this one story and if any laughs I'll never post again. With a BDSM group, there was a class on flogging. Finally it was my turn. The Master put the flogger in my hand and immediatly I felt the power. It was as if an electric current went through my body and my hand was fused to the grip. I trully cannot put into words the sensation. Then I saw my helpless victim. (keyword here is not helpless or victim, but my) He was blindfolded and restrained, totally helpless, and the power grew ENORMOUSLY. I didn't have the maturity to say I'm not ready for this. Or maybe my ego thought the others would laugh if I backed down. The MASTER was very skilled with his verbal instructions, but I didn't hear a word. I saw that bare skin and it shined like a beacon calling me home. After the first couple of times my mind wandered. "I never did like your momma." WHIP WHAP. "Remember the time you embarassed me in front of the fellas?" WHIP WHAP. "Damn right I should have had a pre nup." WHIP WHAP. I'd probably still be there now if they didn't take the flogger out of my hand. You have to grow in your own right and at your own pace, understand yourself, be in control of yourself, and be prepared to accept another as your responsibility. It's not something to ever be taken lightly because the consequences can be, and usually are, catastrophic.
