xdannyboyx -> How do you find yourself? (5/20/2010 8:35:51 AM)
Hello to everyone. I have a quick question that may lead to a not quick answer. How do you find your place within this world? I am completely new to all of this... I have always felt the need to submit to women but having a look around just submitting is not enough. Danny

Danny, At your age, I was probably more than a bit submissive to women because it was the only way I knew how to get close to women even if I was then domineering to them. I tended to pick women that were physically and emotionally tiny but be a sort of kiss up to the sort of women I really wanted. Today physicallyand emotionally tiny women are a huge turn off, I no need to be domineering, and while I no longer kiss up to the sort of women I want, I do spoil them when I am not forcing them to do unspeakable things. I am now also a talented and creative dominant. Bottom line, you are a kid at 21, worry less about some of this stuff and go live, try things, make mistakes, and let life happen a bit!

Time, experience. Same as anyone.

Don't be so quick to put yourself in a box and stick a label on it. Take time to experience the different aspects of life. I've spent most of my life being in charge of everything and everyone close to me and now at 50 years old am discovering the submissive in me. At 21 you still have so much growing, learning and changing to go through...don't be in such a rush to decide who and what you are.

In my experience, the tidy little boxes that people like to make don't actually fit humans well. OP: So you think you want to submit to women? Fine, then do so. As others have said, explore around and try different things. It's probably REALLY important to remember that every relationship is unique. That means that what works well for you with one partner may be totally different than what works with another partner.

Finding your "place" is a matter of exploration and introspection. If possible, find a local kink group that offers demonstrations, presentations, or other educational activities and attend them. Read reputable books such as Different Loving or Screw The Roses, Send Me The Thorns. Talk to people about their experiences with the understanding that your experiences will be different but you can still learn from them. If you find the idea of a mentor appealing, find one to teach you. There are a wide variety of ways to learn. Try several and see which works best for you. Eventually, you'll find what feels right or most comfortable. That's your place. Just remember, your "place" is a fluid thing and may change as your situation or goals change.

I found myself behind the couch. I am always the last place I think to look.

Pay no attention to the strange man behind the curtain...... Welcome to the Forums! Explore, read, talk...but always remember, be what you are, not what anyone says you should be.

~Fast Reply~ I use Google maps usually. Seriously, I don't know what my "place" is in the BDSM world and I don't really care about it. My place is by Valyraen, forging our life together. Anything else doesn't really matter to me.

Well let's see... I'm in my mid 30's, deep into a very strong "lifestyle" relationship, and my place is as a submissive...No wait... a slave... but wait.... You know what? Let me get back to you on that one. LOL The point is that this, like all of life, is a journey. And I'll tell you a secret. It's a journey with no destination. It is just a pleasant path to walk along if you've got the right company along the way. I do a lot of self reflection. At the end of the day, I am only going to have as good a partner as I am able to BE a good partner. Work on yourself first and get to know who YOU are as a person, then get into the rest. Look around. Read. Meet people and hash over ideas and questions. Take your time. Be both clear minded and open minded. Take risks. That's all I've got for you. All my best! lovingpet

We don't ever find ourselves, do we? If we do, what happens next? The only thing I know for sure is that I don't know what I will know.

VonTeese -> RE: How do you find yourself? (5/25/2010 8:33:46 PM)
Well I found myself here via luck actually I always enjoyed thoughts of bdsm and kinky things but based on where I live such practices were kinda taboo topics so I had no way of expressing that side of me. Then finally I was on a social site where they have bdsm and master/ slave groups I jumped on the chance learning all I could there and from there I began asking questions of how its done in rl. As on that site its only done as role play or pretend you don't ever meet you master or slave in real life unless you live close or you really want to. Spending time there I heard of them speaking of having real life slaves and asked if there is an online community dedicated to this sort of thing and that's how I ended up on this site today.

Not everything in life is always in reach. Don't fall in love too easily (or cling on to the first person that comes your way -- you're not in it for life when you haven't even said hello). Its natural to feel a little disappointment if things don't work out but don't dwell on it. Rejection is a part of life; learn to get over it quickly. If you live with your parents, work on becoming independent. Get the rest of your life in order (job, car, any other financial issues, health/fitness) and pursue interesting things. In any kind of relationship (vanilla, romantic, D/s, friends, work friends or whatever) not many people will be interested in associating with you if your main contribution to the relationship is simply that you show up. It's not very interesting to most people if you define yourself by knowing them rather than having your own identity. Be confident, meet people, go out and enjoy life.
