I suppose everyone's story is different but this is mine. I've had submissive fantasies on and off for years (dating back to my first kiss, shoved back against the shelves in a band practice room. I still think fondly of that practice room *sigh*)

I was separated for about 3 years and then widowed over a year ago. I was just beginning to date again as a single adult but with a teenager in the house - it's a whole new ball game. I'm over 50, but still in pretty good shape and I figured out that if I was to ever act on my fantasies I'd better do so now. I started out chatting online on another site, and have made some very good friends there.

They post pictures of new members, and I saw one pic of a very attractive man. I read his profile, but didn't think there was much chance of getting to know him since he lived 1000 miles away. He could see that I had checked out his profile, and apparently then read MY profile. He messaged me back saying that I seemed like an "amazing woman". THAT got my attention : ) He was very up front that he was very involved in the BDSM life and might scare me off. Well, he didn't. We started corresponding and he told me about this site. I've learned a lot. I lurked for a bit, but I've started posting some comments and have gotten very positive comments. My friend and I would now like to meet some time, and he's got me intrigued about a lifestyle I hadn't even really considered before. Wish us luck.
