Nice discussion, Wordsmith. Interesting to me inasmuch as i see lots of Dommes complaints there about annoying subs, names, unwanted pm's etc.--all of which are valid complaints (notice i never disagree with a Domme-lol). What might really be helpful is a discussion of how to meet and chat with a Domme to get the results you wish. Maybe i could be helpful here because i've already made every mistake there is and have achieved a modest amount of success as an m-sub in learning from those mistakes.
So here is helpful hint #1-- i will post more if anyone wants me to.
1. Take your time-- get to know someone and let them know you before you go asking them to dominate you. Get to know likes, dislikes and especially limits.
coming soon: helpful hint #2-Honesty
