Hello everyone - I stumbled across this thread so I think a more specific introduction might be in order here, no?

So, I'm Brooke and I'm somewhere between being a submissive and being a bottom. For me, there are subtle distinctions between the two, mainly in how control I must be of a situation and how much the BDSM world figures into my everyday life. At the moment, I am doing nothing real-world BDSM-ish, unfortunately. If you've read my intro to the general forum, you'll see that it's just not an option for where I am at the moment. God, I don't even want to imagine the rumours that would start about me if this particular aspect of my life became public knowledge! Haha.

In the past, I was fairly active as a submissive in real life. I have been very lucky in my relationships and have had a number of truly spectacular experiences BDSM-wise. I had a very long relationship with a couple, actually where there was a Domme and a Switch, but I loved their rules - he never was allowed to have direct contact with me (specifically, sex) and she controlled everything. It worked so well for everyone involved and I just loved them to pieces. It was with this lovely Domme that I ALSO got to experience my first "sales" experience and hoooooboy, was it the rush. She sold me for a day to the highest bidder of her Dominant friends. She and I completed the bargaining - what I was ok doing, what I wanted to do, what would be a punishment, was was a complete no, etc, so that on the day of, there was very little bargaining I had to do with my new, temporary Dominant. It really did feel as if I'd just been sold into slavery!

Other than that couple, I have developed relationships with many other people into BDSM - some I was lucky enough to play with, some are merely friends, others are more professional (I take photographs and love fetish and kink portraits!), etc.

So that's me - I'm not really into anything formal for the time being and I REALLY need to see if there's much of an Edmonton scene anywhere going on, but for now, you guys are it.
