Well, like others, the internet brought this to my doorstep. It isn't that I didn't have a definite proclivity before, but I didn't know that there were very specific and intensive ways of living that fit those needs. I started in a chatroom somewhere in cyberspace mostly seeking out some answers to a few questions I had recently started entertaining about my own sexuality. Somehow I found my way to a D/s room and it was comfortable. I seemed to push the bar all the time though. I remember wanting to have one person I waited for like others did, but it wasn't to be. My needs were, in another user's words, too big. I needed more than I was going to find there. My husband and I experimented for awhile, during which time I had been directed here and placed a profile and meeting and greeting new people to see if anything would click. This was completely wrong for my husband though. He loves me to death, but there is a very definite line beyond which he is not able to go to meet my needs. He has no desire for control or anything resembling leadership. He also doesn't like hurting me. We gave it a very strong try, but it just was not to be. The wait for my partner was not a particularly long one. I kind of have some insecurity over getting so lucky so fast, but I know we are an unmatched fit. Let me just say that this man was NOT what I wanted. I was just so sure that we had nothing in common. He wanted things that were not only hard limits of mine, but actually upset me. Still, there was his profile every now and then when I would log in. Why did I just have to read it...AGAIN??? What was the fascination? I wrote him and the rest is history. That was two and a half years ago. We are currently still going strong, getting ready to soon merge households, and I couldn't be happier. Never has this been an easy path for me. It brings up questions about myself and the way I view the world that can get under my skin and make me uncomfortable. I have to accept hard things about who I am, what I need, and what it all means. It's definitely a journey and one not for the faint of heart, but it has been most rewarding and ultimately has lead to me understanding myself more deeply than ever and learning to love myself as is and not in the pretty packaging I'd wrapped myself in. lovingpet
