well, I guess I'll throw my 2 cents in here.
I've been hanging around this site for quite a while, longer than most of you guys actually! I just tend to not talk that much, most questions I'd have get answered before I think to ask them
i'd still call myself a new sub though, as i've only been actually doing anything BDSM related for the past 6 months or so, and that infrequently.
I'm far from finding a perfect Dom, I've got a good friend with a sadistic/dominant side I've managed to coax out and I play with him, but he'll never be a real Dom for me. He's great and i'm having an excellent time with him, but i'd never call him my Dom. the biggest problem being that he likes to switch while it's very rare for me to have any desire at all to do so.
I love this site and the people on it, I keep learning a lot even if I rarely speak up and say so.
