Hi, another newbie here.

I'm fiosreach and I've been lurking around the forums here for a few weeks now. (I even popped up in chat once, mostly going "Aagh! Chat is scary!")

I'm 24, female, submissive, from Ireland, (so now nobody needs to bother looking at my profile,) and I buck the trend by being shyer on the internet than I am in real life, so you can imagine how long this is taking me to write!

I stumbled across BDSM through fan fiction originally, and I've been gradually becoming more and more drawn to the idea the last four years or so, to the point where I was at a party at a friend's house a couple of months ago and there was this guy... He had me at the words "I'm basically a dom."

So I'm seeing him casually at the moment, though I'm still not much more experienced than I was sitting at home reading fanfic, for various reasons. But what I have experienced is enough to quell any doubts that the reality wouldn't be as good as the fanfic made it seem, so I figured it's a good time to de-lurk and maybe stay de-lurked, get to know people here. :)

Man this is long! I'm gonna post it before I chicken out, so hi, and thanks for reading this!

Hi! Thanks for the welcome!

I think that makes you fairly normal, I just have it all backwards. I think it's because on the internet you can't see people's facial expressions.

That guy is great! :)

Love your av. Ministry of Silly Walks FTW!

Thanks to everyone for the welcome!

John56, the line from Anthem in your sig is my favourite line from that song! I'm a big Leonard Cohen fan.

Euryleia, I read fic in lots of different fandoms, and sometimes some of it's BDSM. If you'd like any recommendations or anything, PM me.

Um. Thanks again to everyone for saying hello!

Welcome to the forums :)

Any questions, please ask away. And I promise it won't matter to me how long it takes you to type it out to me. :D

Hi. Nice to meet ya.

Hello fiosreach, and I am pleased you did not chicken out. Posting gets easier here the more you do it. Took me I don't know how long to do my first one, and even then I had a friend check it over before I posted it.

The only really scary thing about chat can be not knowing what is going on there because they are nice people. In the same way you lurked here for a while before posting your introduction, why not lurk in chat and get a feel of it. If you are polite and say hello, nobody will mind you taking a little while to settle in.

It sounds as if you go to some interesting parties - I hope you find this space as much fun.

Errr...quite late with the welcome, so my apologises.

And for posting, now, I don't give it a second thought, unfortunately for the forum members, they have to now endure my rants, comments that I think are witty (that are more likely not to be), but everyone here is nice and answers all types of questions you may have.

So welcome shy Irish girl, hope you have fun here.

Hello and welcome to the forums :)
