ORIGINAL: SubCoyate I am a total newbie. But I have had a intrest in bdsm for a long time. I was wondering if it is okay to try to find someone to have bdsm injoyment with with doing the 24/7 master slave owenship type deal? I am wrong to be a freaky and kinky with commiting myself to a ownership type deal? Sincerly Yours SubCoyote It is ok to feel this way but I think a better set of questions to ask are these: (FYI: not specifically directed at the OP here but these are things I've asked myself and those I've been honored to mentor) How can I commit to something 24/7 if I haven't done it for even a full weekend yet? How about a week? A month? Why should I commit to someone 24/7 until I've taken a lot of time to get to him/her? Face-to-face, some play time, some mundane time, some time apart, some time to meet others. How can I commit to 24/7 master-slave when I'm just starting? Shouldn't I get more experience and get to know myself more before giving my word to obey or command when it might turn out that isn't what I'm really looking for? What is the attraction of 24/7 to me that is different than my attraction to limited scenes or vanilla relationships? Should I establish some sort of support system with friends, family, and contacts to help me with relationship and life situations before I jump into 24/7? Is 24/7 easier, harder, or the same as any other type of relationship? What are my reasons for believing this and what is the evidence to support that? What is it about being a master or slave that appeals to me rather than being a top/dominant or a bottom/submissive? How do I define the terms? How do I expect things would operate different in different types of relationships? What is it I imagine when I think of 24/7 master-slave? How realistic is my imagination? What do I have to measure it against? How is my life financially, spiritually, physically, and what are my mundane responsibilities? What am I willing to change or give up? Just some of my questions that I had to run through myself before I felt ready to do 24/7 mistress-slave. It took me a few years, lots of reading, dozens of meatlife kinky folks who were friends and mentors, and a lot of honesty and reflection. Plus a lot of trial and error and many boxes of facial tissue for the heart break and tears.
