Hi, I'm new to bdsm library and would like to become active on the scene in the real world. I don't know that much, other than what I've read on the internet. So if anyone would be willing to share their personal experiences on how they first got into the bdsm scene, and what goes on both at the clubs and in private I would really appreciate it. Also I could use some info just on how financially costly it is to be involved. Any other relevant info, books, resources, or websites would also be great. NYC related info is especially appreciated, but I'd like to hear from everyone.
