ARE YOU A SENIOR BDSMer??
How old are you?M..?s?D?
40 years old, female submissive
What had been your experience as a newbie? oldie?
It's been a blast so far for this old newbie. 
How long have you been in the life?
About a year and a half
Any interesting age stories to share?
Nope. I've met lots of folks in the lifestyle, both older and younger. Age is about the last thing that comes up in conversation... somewhere after politics, religion, favourite beers, and whether to go for pizza or sushi
Does age matter to you? your subs//D/s?
As I said on another thread, my preference is for a D 5-15 years older than I am and 6'2" or taller. Which means diddly squat, since Sir is 34 and maybe an inch taller than me when we are in bare feet, LOL
IS age an issue? in BDSM..?an asset..?
An issue? It completely depends on the person. I know folks in their 20s who are more mature and in control of their lives than those twice their age, and I also know folks in their 50s- 60s who never grew up. In BDSM? I'll take experience over age. An asset? It can be, depending on the person.
anything you wish to add..?
Not really. Most of the folks I hang out with are my age or older, as that has been my preference since I was a kid. That said, there are folks of all ages that have taught me things, and earned my trust. For me, age is WAY down the list of what is important when it comes to getting to know people.

ARE YOU A SENIOR BDSMer??
How old are you?M..?s?D?
I'm sub, and I'm 51, going on 52 next month.
What had been your experience as a newbie? oldie?
It seems to me there are a lot of whackos out there and every so often I meet a good person, Someone "normal."
How long have you been in the life?
Just over one year.....I'm a late bloomer.
Any interesting age stories to share?
Nah, not really.   Maybe I haven't been around "the life" long enough.
Does age matter to you? your subs//D/s?
I just don't want to be Dominated by Someone my kids' age or younger.  That just seems weird to me.  Older than me doesn't matter.
IS age an issue? in BDSM..?an asset..?
One the one hand I'd think age meant experience, but then look at me.  I'm "older" but I only have one year experience.  lol
anything you wish to add..?
Can't think of anything right now.

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?
 
I'm 43 and identify as a switch

What had been your experience as a newbie? oldie?
 
Oh, I still very much consider myself new...I have so much to learn and I hope I never stop.  My experiences have been interesting...to say the least. 

How long have you been in the life?
 
I'm not really "in the life" more like I'm living my life which happens to include D/s and some bdsm. I've been exploring this "life" for the past 3 years or so.  Before that, I didn't realize what I liked had a name.

Any interesting age stories to share?
 
Nope...can I get back to you on that?

Does age matter to you? your subs//D/s?
 
Maturity matters.  I've met some very mature 20 somethings and some very immature 50+.  I  find when I'm wanting to express my submissive side, I do better with men 10-15 years older. Contrariwise, when I'm expressing my dominant aspects I prefer men my age or younger...25-45.  In the end, though, it does come down to maturity which has litte to do with numbers.
 
My grandma had a saying that is great for this type of question..."Age is a decision not a number. Once you decide you're old the numbers just catch up."  She was a cheeky Lady who dyed her hair flame red and always had at least 2 gentlemen friends up until she died at a very well-lived 80 yrs of age.
IS age an issue? in BDSM..?an asset..?
 
Age is an issue if people make it one.  I prefer to see my age as an asset...one that gains value as time goes by.

anything you wish to add..?
 
I'm not a senior BDSMer....more like a freshman.  The more I get out in the local kink community, the more I realize how not so unusual I am...many are late-bloomers.  I doubt I would have appreciated what I know now if I had know it in my 20's. 

 
 
PICK 1 or more...
 
GM..
I am 54.6

How old are you? I am 46

M..?s?D? I am a Dominant in a D/s relationship

What had been your experience as a newbie? oldie?

How long have you been in the life? Since I was 19 years old

Any interesting age stories to share? I did have a sub 17 years my junior, never again would I be involved with that big of an age difference, for us it just did not work.

Does age matter to you? I prefer someone within 10 years of my own either way.
your subs//D/s? My current sub is 9 years younger than myself

IS age an issue? in BDSM..?an asset..? Some people prefer younger subs, I have noticed that many male Dom's wish to have younger subs. Personally as I stated above someone within 10 years of my own age works.

anything you wish to add..? Age is just a number it is the individual person that really should count. Although maturity does count for something and having things in common.
