ORIGINAL: Lorenzo19 Ok. You all ripped the newbie a new asshole. You all had your red meat. Time to back off. It's just pathetic how you people treat newbies. I have to say that I find this statement to be a bit on the ridiculous side. While it was obvious that some of the replies were made in a joking matter. I think you took it more seriously than the OP. It makes Me wonder if you are feeling less than secure about your own experience level or reception here that was carried over to this thread, rather than where your perception of it really starts. Your reaction to it seemed a bit strong, in My opinion. If anyone was tougher on the OP, it was Me, because I told him that he shared part of the responsibility. I'm basing that on the same advice that I'd give anyone whether they were going to their first BDSM get together or if they've been going for twenty years, but they are going to a new group/club for the first time. If the information isn't already provided to you, ask what you can expect, ask about things like the dress code of the event, the protocols, and so on. If it's a play party, ask what the dungeon rules are. Things aren't the same everywhere and personally, I prefer to know what type of situation it is before I get there, rather than to find out afterwards. This helps to prevent situations like the OP described. Edited for punctuation.
