I suppose I could also ask this of a master or mistress, but you subs know you best. I'm pretty young, 20, but have been playing with bondage in relationships since I was 16. I'm looking to get more involved, but 99% of subs are looking for either something ultra hardcore and are looking for super experienced people, or something related to experience that is a bit hard to ask people about.

So, my question is, where would a newish dom start, gaining experience in the field etc. etc.

I would suggest you go to the events in your area. There you will not only meet people who will help you hone your skills, but might find a partner for bondage. Columbus seems to have a very active kink community. To find your local community you really should join fetlife. It's a free site that makes finding local events easy. Use Columbus Ohio as your search term there and the world of events will open up for you.

Yes, I am crazy about feathered creatures. I have a dozen chickens, 3 ducks, 5 geese, and 2 parakeets.

Revise that number. Just got 14 new chicks and 5 turkeys.

Go to events.

Especially events that offer classes on a variety of subjects you're interested in.

Take classes. Lost of them. Ask questions. Learn all you can.

Your confidence and skill will grow as a result.

Work on self-improvement in your personal life. Set goals for yourself, personally, professionally, ethically, socially.

Your confidence and skill will grow as a result.

Once your confidence and skill reaches a certain point, women will find you. Really... they will.

Local groups have The Next Generation groups.
In my area, they are packed. Often more TNG people than oldtimers at play clubs.

Otherwise, fuck. How many profiles out there where hot young things seek someone near the same age, have disclaimers like, "No one 10 years older than me. Eeeeeewwwwwww."

But really, the best advise I would give you is to:
A-Get involved locally
B-Be a worthwhile person. Look around your local groups. The good guys, the doms who have a clue, they ain't single unless they choose to be. They have sluts queued up hoping for a crack at them.
C-Get a local mentor, maybe someone to teach you, ahem, pardon the pun, the ropes.

Cripes. I'd have loved to be twenty and kinky in the internet era.
In my day peeps had to depend on kinky classified and that shit was stupid slow

From a "bondage bunny"...who has now taken to more aggressive stuff.. I will say the thing that usually turns me away from newbies is two things... 1). There is a risk factor for the bottom. I learned early on that the stuff I like to do (which is mild by most standards) is dangerous enough and if the person in control is inexperienced...there is not much even a good bottom could do to save themselves. A lot of stuff sounds fun but, like an inexperienced driver, an inexperienced top can panic and over correct making a minor oops into a major OMG! 2) when you are talking strictly "top & bottom" the bottom is looking to get a certain gratification from the play and, generally, you are going to have a more thrilling ride with someone who has mastered their craft.

Now..if you are looking for a D/s dynamic where the impact/bondage...are just part of the whole thing...you may have better luck. Like Kana said, check out the TNG and meet people in your age group. Also, don't know about Columbus but both Balto and DC have "gateway" groups and they have monthly dungeon 101 (or similar thing ) which are instruction and demo. Usually experienced tops and bottoms so the newbies can try both sides.

Take workshops. If there's a local rope group near you, join it. Get practice being a competent rope top so people don't worry you'll harm them.
