For years I have identified myself as a sub. I have made the mistake of meeting "doms" only to find out they were just horny and looking for a fuck with absolutely no interest in BDSM.

I see where my mistakes were before, but now I find myself in a different situation:
I met someone online a year ago and recently learned he was completely unaware of the BDSM culture. After a little explanation, he ended up assuming the submissive role. I feel I know enough to start this relationship, but I worry that I might not lead it in the right direction. Since I have always been the submissive, this seemed a bit strange, but fortunately, I feel I have taken to this role quite naturally.

I have already instructed him to research and learn about the culture, because that is how I learned. I have found that my research was more beneficial than every meeting I have encountered.

My concern: I have always dreamed of what my ideal Dom would be like, but have yet to experience it. I wonder if I would be able to fulfill that role for my sub.

This is a long distance relationship, and we have not yet met in person. If anyone could lend me an introduction and a direction to head, it would help lots.
