My Introduction

[cariad]

Hello to Everyone! It's so very nice to meet you. I first discovered this marvelous site because of the stories. Then, realized there was so much more...and here I am now.

Please be patient with me as I wander and read - there is so much information and I want to make sure to take my time.

Have a most wonderful day to you all.

Saying such lovely things about us, how we help but be as patient as you could possibly desire? Apparently I joined in April of this year, and am still discovering some long buried jewels of posts. Have fun, and please pop up from time to time as you wander and read, to let us know you are still here and what you are making of it all.

Hello Everyone. I'm 27F living in Virginia. I'm here seeking to learn and interact. I've been interested in the lifestyle from my very early teenage years but am just getting to the point of being active. Am now already being asked for more than I know how to give. Some of my interests are flogging, suspension, anal, enema, mind fuck. Thought I'd say hello before posting elsewhere...

Welcome grrrlluv, I hope you find what you need around here.

Ohhhhh how perfect, another new member who is also itching to get active in other parts of the forums.

Hope you have a wonderful time both reading and posting, and hopefully discovering more about how you can give.

I am new to the BDSM lifestyle and need any advice and websites available so as to learn. I did do a paper on the subject back in 1996 and got a B on it because it was a day late. Unfortunately, I lost the paper and the sources I had with it, so I am starting all over again in my studies. I thank you for the forums and do hope I can learn a lot about the lifestyle.

[Silke]

to angie, less_is_more_2005, grrrlove and Rick...jeez, I really have to come here more often, lol. Good to have you here and I hope you'll find what you're looking for. There's tons of information on these sites and lots of fun people....enjoy and dive right in!

[dzire2pleeze]

This is weird...i sent a welcome greeting to you grrrluv yesterday, but it didn't post..hmmmm? anyway, once again, welcome.

Grettings and welcome to Rick as well.

I have replied to your question in Knowledge Base thread, but am delighted to give you a warm welcome here.

I hope you find the information you are looking for. If you have any questions, post away. I think I have only ever spotted one request for information where there was nobody who was able to give a helpful answer.

Just blame the server d2p - everyone else does, for everything. I didn't hear it murmour once when I blamed it for the pile of shirts in the ironing basket.

Hi, folks. This looks like a nice place so far, and everyone is so laid back. I'm excited about joining!

I'm new to this whole scene, still don't know my own boundaries. I've been looking for a place to watch and learn and question and reflect and find out more about what I want.

One thing I can say about myself from the outset is that I inherently respect teachers, and I enjoy the feeling that gives me.

Also, I think rope bondage is an extraordinary art form and I feel cheated I've lived this long without having discovered that previously.

Thanks cariad for permission to blame server for everything..damn server, more dirty clothes...damn server, more garbage...damn server, floors need washing again...damn server, i blame you for all the mundane chores that must be done in life. And if it rains on my parade today...DAMN YOU, server!

Once again, cariad, you're absolutely right....not a murmur from the server.

[dzire2pleeze]

Greetings and welcome, respecter.

This is a wonderful place to be, especially for beginners. We strive for warmth and friendliness. Everyone here is helpful. So, if you have any question or cannot find what you need...just ask. Someone is bound to have an answer.

Just as an aside...a number of years ago, i was involved in a vanilla relationship with a man, whom i dreaded having boring vanilla sex with. He was an English professor and an opera singer, with the Met, who coached me in voice.

After my lessons and only after my lessons...i found that i was wet and longing for him. I did not relate the wetness with the instructions until just recently, when someone was instructing me on downloading a certain computer program.

Red faced, I asked this gentlemen (a friend) if he knew why i had become aroused during this tedious training....he laughed and was kind enough to enlighten me..That's when i put two and two together. ~shaking my head~ It took me all these years to figure that out.

Anyway....sorry for interrupting your introductory welcome, but i just wanted you to know that i know exactly what your're talking about, when you say you "inherently respect teachers and enjoy the feeling it gives me."

At least I think that's what you mean...oh well...i'm use to a red face. If it's not what you meant... never mind.

Just enjoy yourself here...and by the way...i am only assuming that you are a female/sub...would like to know for sure. I suspect others would as well.

[Silke]

to the forums, respecter...and I'm sure you'll find this an intersting and fun place to explore.

Damn, d2p...now that I can relate to as well! Thanks for passing the enlightenment on, lol. I remember a particularly rough and challenging training session at a seminar - the (very domly) guy who put me on the spot and never let me out of it again...hell, that was scary and exciting and sooo hot. Lol, as another funny aside...we talked about relationships one afternoon on a break and he was like 'Silke, you don't want to go out with X (another guy from the seminar)...he's too much of a nice guy and I'm guessing you need more of a challenge, a bit of what I call the asshole factor...'

He was right, too. *grins* I just never related it to D/s...d'oh!

[Ozme52]

... i just wanted you to know that i know exactly what your're talking about, when you say you "inherently respect teachers and enjoy the feeling it gives me."...

Recite after me:

"The Cane gives Pain, it's Mainly for the Brain"

[dzire2pleeze]

~recites, carefully ennunciating each word~ "The Cane gives Pain, it's Mainly for the Brain" ~then breaks out into song and dances excitedly around the room repeating the sentence over and over again ~

"I think I've got it!!!!!!!!"


Silke...glad i didn't make a fool of myself by relating the story..It's nice to know that I too can shed some light for others.

Your little incident is a rather yummy memory...i would like to know what transpired...if anything.
