Bless you; I'm blushing.

Some other excellent names to look for among the authors are Jay Wiseman, Janet Hardy (Catherine Liszt and Lady Green), Jack Rinella, Dossie Easton, and  Miss Abernathy.

i'm a submissive also, but i would think finding a local dungeon and interacting with other local Dominants, You should be able to find a more experienced Dominant who is willing to guide and teach You.  Most that i have run into are willing to guide and help new Ppeople along their path.  i wish You the best of luck!

I don't post much any more.  This past summer, I had to go cold turkey because our house on Cape Cod didn't have access to high speed internet and that sort of broke my addiction to CollarMe.  Still, it's occasionally fun to dip my toes back in.

Who knows about the future.  We are selling the Cape Cod place and thinking of getting a larger house in Northern Vermont near Barton because the tax penality for just keeping the cash would be unbelievable.  I'm not sure about the availability of high-speed access there, but we will probably put in a dish system.

Getting "hooked" again is a possibility.

Greetings and well wishes!

As some have said or implied, it is so important to get to know others in the lifestyle, to get their opinions and advice, to read lots... and to take your time! It is so easy to want to jump in with both feet - then wonder why you're in over your head. Listen and learn, but never be afraid to ask questions.

Please let us know if we may be of any assistance. Best wishes,
David Dream Wizard and his dreamgirl joy

Dani,

Welcome! You're entirely permitted to post in Ask a Master, and indeed, more than a few dominant women identify as masters. I would still like to direct you to the Ask a Mistress forum, where you may find additional useful advice.

As earlier posters have advised, read books and online resources.

I'm not sure what you want to know. Is it okay that your submissive friend is more eager than you? Sure. If you're into being in charge, though, you must proceed at your pace. If doing what you want to do is what turns you on, you may begin where you like. If getting your way isn't very important to you, and you're more interested in being the active person, the giver of sensation--the one who binds and spanks, as opposed to the one who is bound and spanked--and if you're not entirely clear what sorts of sensation you want to give, then determine what sorts of sensation your partner wants to receive, and if they're reasonably appealing to you, do those activities.

Monica

Thanks for this. I'm new as well, and while I don't mind getting my way, lol, I really enjoy bringing my sub to new heights, or lows, depending on what they want.
I've had people tell me that makes me less of a Domme. I don't really feel it does.

Dani,

Welcome to the forums!  If there weren't people here asking questions, there wouldn't be anyone here writing answers, and we all still be wandering around in the dark.

So, 'where to begin' can seem like you're staring at a mountain.  Fortunately, you've got your whole life to climb it, so do it one foot in front of the other.

I took a quick look at your profile, and it sounds like you're already involved with one girl, and looking for more.  First off, there's nothing wrong with that (as long as everyone involved knows) though I strongly suggest you take your time with the first girl, first, and see if you can't work out some of the kinks before you start buying more leashes.  It's not uncommon for a Dominant to feel a bit like a kid in a candy store with a fifty dollar bill.  Before you start cleaning out the shelves, you might want to figure a few things out - like what is it you really want?  Are you looking for a girlfriend?  Lover?  Friend? Soul Mate?  Play partner?  All/some/none of the above work, too.  Obviously, we don't spring out of the vanilla box with all of those answers, but the more you look at what makes you happy, the easier it is to move on to the second part:

Communication.  Everyone here will use that word.  It really means what it means - talk to the person you're involved with.  Talk to people you're interested in.  Share what you think, and don't feel like you have to impress anyone.  The BDSM rules aren't much more complicated than the rules from kindergarten.  You don't need to pretend to be anyone you're not, and you don't have to listen to anyone claiming to be more than they are.  In short, don't be afraid to ask questions - especially from the most important people involved, your sub, and yourself.

Finally, use your common sense.  If it doesn't fit, don't force it.  If it doesn't open, don't break it.  Just because it's a scene or play party, doesn't mean feelings should be ignored.  Be careful with your heart, and the hearts of those around you.

Moxie,

I love the same thing.  I enjoy spanking my girl, because she enjoys it (even if she does kick and scream when I do it.)  I wouldn't enjoy it if spanking her got no response at all!  There's nothing un-Dominant about making someone you love feel good.  Certainly nobody would suggest you should stop making your sub happy, if you're enjoying it.  Being dominant isn't about being selfish - selfish Doms end up lonely, complaining Doms who tell everyone else how 'wrong' they are and what they do.

Play nice, kids.

Stephan

Start off with some cuffs, a blind fold, something to spank with, and some basic comands such as "sit" and "lick my foot." Some duct tape on the mouth may be fun as well. If the two of you like it, things will follow from there. Before long, you'll have a ball gag,  TENS unit, heavy floggers, a katana, a cattle prod, and five rubber chickens.

As you advance to various ideas and trials, I recommend that you take a First Aid course and buy a first aid kit for minor ordeals. After all, accidents are known to happen and I'm sure you don't want everything to turn into an ER visit.
