ORIGINAL: GYPSYMAMBO This is in response to another thread...saying there was "nothing "for seniors/older "subs"..on here... ARE YOU A SENIOR BDSMer?? How old are you?M..?s?D? What had been your experience as a newbie? oldie? How long have you been in the life? Any interesting age stories to share? Does age matter to you? your subs//D/s? IS age an issue? in BDSM..?an asset..? anything you wish to add..? PICK 1 or more... GM.. I am 54.6 How old are you?M..?s?D? I'm going to be 50 this coming May 2010 (sounds old, but really it's only HALF a century....) What had been your experience as a newbie? oldie? When I was a newbie, I didn't know jack...since then, I've met jack and I would say just be careful around jack. Actually, I started out back in my teens officially (if you don't count those times I played Doctor...and I was ALWAYS the Doctor), and I've never stopped learning or wanting to learn more. I have respect, and like to respect others who are either newbies or oldies; since we are all part of a larger whole/community. I was immature in my approach, but eager when I was younger, but tried to remain true to the SSC code always. When I got older and started to mature in my wants, desires, and approach to others; I felt more at-ease with myself. This took many years to realize where I was at not just with others, but with myself as well. How long have you been in the life? I will admit to my first experience was at a very young age. But I've also taken breaks from the life a few times over the years. I would say then I've been in this actively for the most part out of my 49-years, going on 23-years (so about half my life). Any interesting age stories to share? Does age matter to you? your subs//D/s? IS age an issue? in BDSM..?an asset..? When I was in my early 30's, I had a slave who was in her early 50's. What's that you say Mrs. Robinson?...I suppose we should remove the gag first. Actually, I didn't really view age as an issue and for the most part; still don't. Actually the older the better. My sub and I were talking about virgins the other day, and I think this sort of applies as well: I love to train and see that "oh my god" look on face as they experience and process all the nasty and wonderful things being done to them, so THAT kind of virgin is a good thing I believe. I'm sure there are some real horror stories out there for some BDSM virgins, but an actual virgin....ehhh no thanks. I think though this slave I had, was a little older than she admitted to me, she was afraid that I would reject her for her age. It was a sheepish and slightly awkward moment for her when she did relate to me her age at that time, and of course it was alright (Would that make me a pervert? Fair enough.). I think age is an asset. You don't have to young to be eager. Of course there is an issue with age for those too young, and we have rules, ethics, laws, and such to maintain that sort of boundary. But as a consenting adult, you have freedoms and such to explore the BDSM world. Experienced BDSMers are not always the older ones either, but there is sometimes a minimal maturity level that needs to be fulfilled for a good and healthy BDSM lifestyle. Knowing what you want and adapting to situations as they come up is something that is an asset, which is found in the older BDSMers usually. An example, is that trick knee, bad shoulder or the other limitations that your body has as you get older from the wear and tear over the years. All things are nearly do-able with the mature BDSMer, since that person usually knows how to counteract that limitation. She may not be able to bend her body in that position like she used to, but she knows what to do with the position she CAN get into. So I think there is praise and certainly an asset for those who have some age and experience. Mae West once said that "Youth is wasted on the young"..., and there is a lot to be said for youth. I have nothing against the younger BDSMers and feel that there can be some genuine respect that can be had between whatever age groups there are. I've seen some real interesting pairing over the years in BDSM. We all handle and view age differently, and the dynamic to be had I feel, transcends age at times. And for those that are locked into wanting a certain age-group of players and partners in their midst only, are missing out on what is truly out there and the experiences that could be had. But that again is preference for some...I say keep you mind and eyes open, or you just may miss something.
