Bdsm has always caught my attention. I recently moved to Wyoming I'm 19 and looking for information and maybe learning multiple things and if I get interested enough I might even try some things.

Okay. First of all, hello and welcome, usual disclaimer-this is the side for discussions. So we're going to have one. I looked at your profile, and the about you part is a cut-n-paste. Let me give you a couple tips.

1. You have to tell people what your orientation is. This helps immensely in letting others know to approach you.

2. Flip that photo. Seriously. It annoys the hell out of me when I see that. Personal grip there.

3. In you profile, tell people about yourself. Seriously, you're a blank slate for all intents and purposes. Interests, hobbies,
'normal' stuff. And don't get apeshit with the kink preferences when you figure them out. That's what this side can help you
with.
4. Go into your profile and start going through the preferences tabs. If you don't know about something, jot it down or
whatever, and then, come back here and hit the 'Search'. First word on the second row. When you get there, type in a one
or two letter query in the box and hit go.
5. Grow a thick skin. You'll be bombarded with some nasty shit, especially at first. Scammers, spammers, and other internet
vermin prowl these interwebs. Don't give anyone any money. Period.

6. Read the rules! Each forum has a FAQ. Read them. They will make your experience here much easier and more
rewarding. Ignore them, and there will be little mercy. Seriously. They will.

7. Have patience. The chance of you hooking up from the other side within 24 hours is vanishingly small.

8. Use the Internet. Find out if there is a local scene. I know Wyoming, I drove truck occasionally, doing hotshots to the oil
rigs and hauling singles from Guernsey to Evanston. Best bets are in Laramie and Cheyenne.

9. Read responses to anything you send out critically. When you send something, ask yourself if you'd want your sister,
mom, or cousin to read what you're wrote. Sexy doesn't need to be filthy or stupid. Read other profiles all the way
through.

10. Make sure you keep a blanket, sleeping bag, drinking water, and spare clothes in your vehicle. No, has nothing to do with
kink or this site. It's just I know how bad Wyoming can get when you're stranded overnight. Trust me on this.

There you go. As I said before, welcome, good luck, and have fun in your search.

Great update. Don't be afraid to update and change things on your profile, here or anywhere. It's like a resume of sorts, for lack of a better term. Now you're in a little better position to start things. Good luck, and remember to use 'Search' when you come up against something you're unfamiliar with.

Resident Sadist has a book list here:Resident Sadist's Book List that can give you a ton of info, if you so choose. No, they're probably not at the local library. Ask anyway. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Cheyenne would be your best bet for 'local' action, as per se (yeah, I know it's about 130 miles away, but that's Wyoming for ya). but once you get a little knowledge under your belt, you may find what you're looking for is closer than you think. Again, good luck, and if all else fails, come back here and ask a question. Chances are it's already been answered in one form or another. Take care.
