ORIGINAL: Anita89 <snipped> I was wondering if I should learn/explore before I meet someone I want to be with or if I should let them train me themselves? <snipped> Should I play and learn (in a safe environment with friends) or let my future Dom/Master train me, teach me and break my play cherry? Let me try a different "take" on this. Again, I feel Anita89 (her profile tells us she is 21) has an odd perception of the whole scene. Anita, MANY people have NEVER, ever found "the someone." It's more like vanilla dating than you realize. The play parties are sort of like the clubs that you say you can go to when you're in the right mood, staying home with one of your books if not. You say you are sure you want to be dominated, but it's like drinking or dancing in a club. You say you can take it [alcohol] or leave it. You don't drink just because it's available. When you go to a club (with your friends, I add) you're looking to have a good time, right? Might dance with a guy or two, maybe see one of them later.... you are NOT hoping to find your marriage partner. Maybe it will happen, but you certainly don't go to the club only looking for a husband. Ask your questions of your friends, maybe ask a bottom "How was that flogging?" AFTER the scene is over, I add. LOL! Try dancing; try drinking... but as hausboy says, "at your own pace." Oh, and nobody said - READ! ResidentSadist's suggested list is here: http://www.collarchat.com/m_1726118/tm.htm ETA: What is "training" to you? Again, I think you have a misconception. To me, you seem to think that "training" you has something to do with your reactions to BDSM play. Could NOT be further from the truth. "Training" is usually how to serve the morning coffee. How sweet does he like it, etc.? You mention in your prfile that your gym is 24 hours and that you'd enjoy working out together with your Dom - training you might consist of "meet me at the gym at 5:30 PM unless I call to tell you otherwise." A different Dom might say "We'll go to the gym at 5:30 AM daily. Be ready in your workout togs to leave at that time." Training you in BDSM play - again, not sure about that phrase or what it might mean. And that's part of the FUN! Each time is different... I'm having trouble thinking how I might "train" someone to "play" a certain way. Do you train someone how to play Monopoly<tm>? No, but you agree on the rules and go from there. BDSM play is more like kids running around - maybe one says "Let's play hide-n-seek," and then they do, and then one says "Let's play catch." So, are those kids "hide-n-seek" virgins? How about a swimming analogy? Nobody is asking you to jump off the deep end. BUT, I've never heard the phrase, "Oh, I'm a swimming virgin." I have heard, "Oh, I've never tried a butterfly stroke. Maybe you could show me how?"
