My Introduction

[Ranai]

Any suggestions will be great.

Hi tiemeupnow and welcome!

You could do a search on the terms switch, switches and switching.

Also, there are several threads by members exploring their dominant side which I find helpful. You can find them in the 'My BDSM Life' and 'Knowledge Base' sections. Here are some that might interest you:
questions about creating a scene
experienced sub/new dom
Question about love in lifestyle
Humiliation, how does it turn you on?
how would you prefer your first introduction to submission

Read around, have fun, and if you have specific questions just start your own thread.

A warm welcome to everyone else who has joined! I am looking forward to reading your posts.

[Firefly]

Well we've been hanging around long enough now without registering so we thought that it was about time that we registered and introduced ourselves.

We found the forums via the story site and it seems like a good place to hang out for a while. SophieAlice and I are partners having been together for two years now. We got to know each other through our mutual interest in BDSM and have a great time exploring our D/s feelings with each other. We have both been active on the UK scene for a number of years and are always looking for further inspiration through the tales and experiences of others and this seems like just the site to do that!

Hopefully we will be posting on a regular basis and will let you know what we are up to!

[Aeneas]

Welcome to the two of you. Looking forward to your enlightening contributions.

[erotic_nibbles]

I would just like to extend a warm welcome to all the newest members! I would particularily like to welcome all the new members who are submissive. I know, by your very nature, it takes a certain amount of courage, even using an alias, to take that big step and opening up to (literally) the world. You have already taken one of your first big decisions by introducing yourselves. Please remember more than anything else, YOU ARE NOT ALONE! We all learn from each other, and nobody knows it all. I dare say even "The Divine Marquis" would enjoy reading and contributing to our forums. As one of the greatest philosophers of all time (Winnie the Pooh) once said, "Not one of us is as smart as all of us."

I really liked what you said there ....great job!

I've been lurking around lately because my bf/dom suggested this site to me although he does not have an account, I'm pretty shy, so it took me this long to registered. I'm currently a full time sophmore college student with a part time job, so pretty busy. My partner is a bit older than me, and he's the first guy I am involved with outside of my "age" group. He introduced me to this lifestyle, and I'm still learning a lot, its just very VERY different from all the rest of those relationships I zipped through in highschool, and it doesn't help that all my friends tease me about dating a considerablly older guy. I guess my immaturity and hyperness overwhelms him sometimes.

Just thought it'll be polite to do the whole introduction thingy

[GarrickBailley]

Hello everybody,

My name is Garrick, and I'm a new member here. I just found this site about a week ago, and I have to say it's been a great source of info and leisurely reading. I'm a 20 year old male sub, currently attending university. So...there ya go, I introduced myself. Hopefully I'll see everybody around the forums in the near future.

[tmordan]

Hi there, I'm Tigz Mordan, and I'm new to the forums. I've been looking around the BDSM "world" for a little while now, and I've been trying to get my boyfriend, who's a little dommy, to be more dominant. I'm hoping to get some hints on that, and with any luck, make a few like-minded friends along the way

[SIR!!]

HI IM SIR THE OTHER HALF OF THE VERY GORGEOUS DARK GIRL(THANKS EVERYONE FOR THE COMMENTS) :yourock:

[erotic_nibbles]

WELCOME TO:

miss duece, GarrickBailley, tmordan, & SIR!!

miss duece...I love it when you lurkers come to out into the light .....just watch your butt...some of the Dom's around here bite! .....lol...Just kidding!

GarrickBailley...So good that you found us and are learning and enjoying yourself here already.....hmmmm 20 years old huh?.....all us ladies just love to tease the ones that are young, pink and tender! .....sorry...just couldn't resist that one

tmordan...Wow....what you said is very much like my situation before I came here.....my bf is also very naturally dominant in a wonderful protective/possessive way.....and I wanted it to be more BDSM & D/s.....so after having a few little breakthroughs in our relationship towards that, I talked to him about this site and showed it to him....not too long ago I talked him into letting me register him.....he's been here for a little while now and our relationship has been changing in lots of good ways ever since...so good luck with moving your relationship more into BDSM....from experience coming to this site is a good start

SIR!!...It's great that you have decided to join us.....Darkgirl has been a joy to get to know and it will be fun to see you both on the Forums

Thanks for the welcome, good to be here

Just to put things in a bit of context, I'm looking to make my bf more dominant, but I want to keep him as a bf and not as a Master. I'm not the most emotionally-stable type, and I don't think my self-esteem could handle being someone's slave! But I do want to scene with him every now and then, so I'm just trying to figure out where on the scale of things I want us to end up, and then work on taking us there.

Anyways, like I said, thanks for the welcome... I'll try not to turn into a lurker, but I can't make any promises I'm afraid - being inexperienced I don't have that much to say. See yous all around!

[Aeneas]

Welcome again to all our newest members!

Tmordan brought up a good point about wanting his bf to be a bit more into BDSM without becoming his Master. I am sure there are a lot of new subs out there wondering, "what on earth am I getting myself into?" RELAX! It is up to YOU and your partner how far and how fast you want to go. Take it at a level and a degree you feel safe and comfortable with. Like any new thing, there will come a time when you will want to test your limits ( or have someone else test them with you ). That is normal and part of the fun.

Most of us have some sort of "safe-word" system when playing. Just to give you an idea, I use a "streetlight" system. When I am whipping or tormenting a sub, she might be yelling "STOP" and it could be part of the enthusiasm for the moment, not to be taken at face value. If she says "yellow" I understand it is getting too intense, but she wants to continue at a slower pace. If she says "Red", that means STOP!!! I get her out of any bindings, we catch our breaths and talk about where we were, where we wanted to go, and how to de get back on track. Suppose she is gagged? I use a small red rubber ball that she holds in her fist. Usually she is glad to have something to clench. If she wants to stop, she drops the ball. No matter what I am doing, I can't miss a bouncing red ball.

Just remember to take it a step at a time. There is a lot of information here. Real people who had tried real things. We all learn from each other. So come on in, the water's fine!

My name is Amy, I am 25 and I am from NC. I am a Female sub. I would like to talk with other members of the community and entertain new ideas for my lifestyle. Thank you.

[Nokturn]

Hello E/everyone. I've been reading the forums for quite a while now and I finally wanted to pop in and say hi and tell you all a bit about myself. I'm a 22 y/o male Dom. I've been in a wonderful relationship with my sub for over a year now and things are going great. We are both fairly new to the lifestyle (seeing as both of us were just getting started in the lifestyle) and have much to learn. This message board has helped us a lot with the information you all have to give and I hope that we can give something back in return.

Blessed be.

[GaryWilcox]

Welcome, ncentity and nokturn! Yell if you need help or just want someone to talk to!

[MsTerry]

Hello - I have been lurking for some time now - not that I am shy but could get my old computer to log in properly. New computer - time to come out and play . I have always been a huge fan of the stories on alebeards site since I was legally old enough and love reading the stories on this site. I figured that since I have learned so much from so many about this lifestyle through the posts in the forum it was time to actively join and let you all know how much I appreciate your ideas, opinions, and knowledge. Great admirer of TourGuide and Finding Fantasy, Nikka Jones – so glad you are back with us – I have been praying for your continuing recovery, Red Eva, Curtis, Jadetiger, jaeangel, slave lucy, mobius, erotic nibbles and so many more of you. I know that I will learn so much more. I know I have always been subservient and I have attributed it to being asian but it is a dark part of me I have kept hidden. My secret fantasy is to be ordered around and dominated by a strong American man. Most other asian women I have talked to also share my same belief that we find American men more attractive than asian men. (Sorry asian gentleman maybe I am wrong and I just know what I like ). The uniform stereotype for me is also true – the idea of cops or other uniformed authority figures with black leather gloves disciplining me is just yummy! Anyway more about me at another time – If you are curious just ask – I am open to any questions and can’t wait to jump on some threads with my thoughts. My inner subservient self feels that I should admit a secret to everyone as well – to do any less after I have listened to everyone else’s thoughts, ideas, and secrets just feels wrong. (deep cleansing breath) I have had a crush on Gary Wilcox for over a year since I first started reading the forum post (blushes). His early posts about what he looked for in a woman hooked me completely and have been reading ever since. I have many short stories inspired by him that maybe one day I’ll have the courage to share. Until then I will continue to fantasize that he would one day be my Master and that I could spend my days at his feet and giving him hours of massaging and pampering wanting ever so much to please him. To want nothing more than to see those dark, brooding, and compelling eyes of his avatar look down into mine with possession. (blushes again – horrified that I actually am writing this but will not delete it out ). Again I look forward to getting to know all of you more and more about myself and nurturing my submissive ways.

[slavelucy]

What a great intro, Ms Terry, welcome!

i always think it's a thoughtful thing to do to mention what you've gained from the boards up to this point, and those comments mean a whole lot to us.

And, as for your crush on Gary...awwww! No way should you delete it out, you're right, his eyes ARE deeply brooding!

[MMark]

Well, I've been lurking for a few months now, but didn't want to post out of respect for the rest of you. Now that I'm 18, well, guess I can finally come out of my shell.

I started getting into this BDSM thing online when I was twelve or so. Somebody I jokingly called somebody a slave and they said they were. Don't think I've been able to replicate how much of a jump in testosterone that gave me, but, anyways, here I am.

Thought I might've had a good chance at making something happen with a girl from Cali, but one of her teachers ended up telling her parents (Catholics) about her BDSM interests, and they went through the roof. Amazing how some people preach acceptance and then turn away from their own children... But, hey, if it's meant to be, we'll find each other again.

Any other initial entry questions I need to answer? I never was too good with these intro things...

[orchidsoul]

Welcome tiemeupnow, Firefly, SophieAlice, miss duece, GarrickBailley, tmordan, SIR!!, ncentity, nockturn, MsTerry, and MMark!! I apologize if I missed someone... but I think I got everyone!

It's a very welcoming group of folks here... so keep chiming in.

MsTerry... no need to be horrified... I'm suspect that you're far from the first with a secret crush on Mr. Wilcox *I admitted nothing, I swear*

Hmm- secret crushes... now that could be a dee-lish thread in and of itself... but I digress...

Welcome everyone!

[DemonGoddess]

Hi everyone. I'm new here (obviously. why else would i be posting an intro?) I just found this site lastnight and haven't really had a chance to look around yet. And as for a little bit about me... I'm 19, in college and loving it. Single and not really look (which is not to say that i wouldn't be interested in finding someone...) When i'm not in class, at work, or doing my homework i'm either hanging out with friends or hanging out in chat rooms talk to some of my friends who are over seas (I've got a lot of friends in the millitary who are over in Iraq right now and we keep in touch through IMing, xanga, and all hanging out in the same chatrooms when we've got the time.) I'm a switcher but I've never really truely explored being a sub, mainly because i'm not a very trusting person and I have to really really trust a person before I'll let them Dominate me (even if it is just a cyber thing.) So I don't know what else to say right now so
peace, love, and all that jazz
and i'll be seeing you around
your Demon Goddess

Hi
Im a new member from England also fairly new to the scene. I suppose as time has progressed my sexual desires have become more outlandish and I am having trouble finding a sub that will let me use them as my sex slave. So was hoping that by joining I might speak to like minded people or meet the slave of my dreams to fulfill my needs! If anybody has any ideas where I find a slave or if you are slave looking to be used drop me a line.

[Sir Lanceloth]

welcome.

not sure what like minded peoble are in your mind, but the time ive been here i have only meet open minded serious and thoughtfull peoble here.

[Microwave0ven]

and of course, there are closed minded, funny, brash people in here too. Most people seem to think about their posts a bit more before posting than I do though.. Anyway, there's all sorts of people in here, I'm sure you'll find someone to talk to eventually!

Oh my.... jut stumbled on to this today...

...a big welcome to you, Terry!

MsTerry... no need to be horrified... I'm suspect that you're far from the first with a secret crush on Mr. Wilcox *I admitted nothing, I swear*

I should start paying more attention to Gary's Lap!

Hello to all,
I joined this site a few days ago and just found this thread so I am here to introduce myself. I am 38, female and married. I love leather, boots and corsetry though I am not a tight lacer. More recreational fun than anything else. I love to read about the various aspects of BDSM, especially MC combined with BDSM but do not preatice it in my own home. Both husband and myself are too dom I think.

Hello everyone, it's a pleasure to introduce myself here. I hope that I'll have the chance to get to know you all during my time here.

I go by Twilight or Diamond online, please feel free to call me by either alias. I am a nineteen year old female college student and a major in writing. I have enjoyed a strictly observational relationship with BDSM thus far (reading erotica and perusing forums such as this, for example), but I hope to take my interest to the next level soon and perhaps enter into an online relationship. I consider myself a submissive and I am very inexperienced and shy in the BDSM lifestyle, so I believe participating in the discussions on this forum will be good for me.

I am an avid writer and I also enjoy anime and video games. I look forward to interacting with you all. Please treat me kindly.

[learningtopleez]

Haven't been here in awhile to welcome all the new members....so welcome! You will find loads of information here (and if you can't find what you're looking for after a search, start a thread!!), lots of laughs, great friends, and generally good people! So have fun and hope to see you all on the forums!

~ltp~

Welcome, Twilight!

As somewhat of a forum newbie myself, I've been rather glad to find this one. Already I've gotten some great advice, had some good laughs, and recieved a warm welcome. May you find this place as informative and warm as I now do.

[Twilight]

Thank you all very much for your kind welcomes.
