Please share the story about how you were first introduced to BDSM. For instance:

1. How old were you?

2. Who or what opened your eyes to BDSM?

3. Did you get to experience it at a club or party?

4. What was your physical and emotional reactions when you saw your first
scene?

5. Are there any people on this forum that are vanilla and participating or lurking to find out if they should take the plunge?

There are too many questions above and each one could be its own thread, however, pick one or two and share fully. Your answers will be a revelation to me and many others.

If it is too personal, you can PM me.

1. We were both 29 and had been together for almost 5 years already.
2. We discovered it as part of our sexual experiments. We quickly found out though that we both definitely are not on the dominant side, which put our relationship into a crisis, since we had the feeling we were mismatched. Yet somehow we couldn't believe we really were mismatched, since everything else fitted so wonderfully. Then we met late Mistress in a lesbian bar and submitted to her. We served her for 5 years until she sadly died of a car accident. Serving together definitely is what we want; it tightens the emotional bond between us.
3. We first experienced it at home.
4. First of all we don't like the word "scene". We don't "scene"; serving is a natural part of our lives. BDSM does not appear in our lives in the form of "scenes". The only parts of our lives where it does not enter are our professional lives, and even there are some intrusions, like having to wear certain clothes at work; certainly our bald heads could be named as intrusions too. And then we never watched any "scene" before we entered the BDSM-lifestyle; we were immediately involved.
5. If there are we don't know.
