Hi all,

I'm new to these forums. A few words about myself - in no particular order:

- I'm male, 32 (soon 33) and single. I work with computers and I also play music and do some sports from time to time. I live in Denmark.

- I'm very interested in BDSM, but sadly I've never tried very much. I've never found a partner, and to be completely honest I haven't really searched that much. Until now - registering here is a big first step for me. Who knows what I'll do next?

- I've spend a lot of time on the net over the years, reading stories and looking at pictures. I feel I know a whole lot about BDSM, eventhough I've only tried self-bondage. And that hasn't been very succesful either, but I know the basics of tying and releasing. And a little more than that I'd like to think.

- I usually prefer the terms top/bottom to master/slave which are a bit over the top. I'm definately a switch, I find both the top and bottom role quite nice, but I really don't know which I like most, and if I could stay in one role all the time. I see BDSM as roleplay in most situations and I believe I know and can play both roles.

- I've read a lot of the stories (probably most) on bdsmlibrary.com. I can usually find something wrong with a given story. Some of my pet peeves are: writers who clearly haven't tried that thing they're writing about and describing it wrong. Another is the idea that any woman will become a mindless slave after being tied up and denied orgasms for a day or two. I just re-read "Jesse's Birthday by Captured" - that's a pretty good story with only a few weak points.

- As I said I've never really talked to anybody about my feelings for BDSM. But I think it's about time I do something about that. I'll start actively looking for a like-minded partner, hard as she may be to find. I've also written a small message in "personals", and I'll start looking for danish websites. Wish me luck!

- The 2.6 kernel is stable! That wasn't about me, but important nonetheless.
