Ok...i guess i will speak up on this.....Gem is not knocking new masters she is just saying she would perfer an experianced one.....i am a master and i have experianced one...do i know it all? fuck no...will i ever learn it all hmmm maybe maybe not......even if i did learn it all would you not still go through a learning process with a new subbie learning her limits her needs ect? just like an experianced subbied would learn from a new dom? life is about learning the day we all stop learing is the day we might as well die.......i will allways strive to learn from all sources be it trial and error research experimentation ...or by asking questions of others and by listening to others......and remember this everyone is entitled to their opinions everyone has opinions sometimes we agree sometimes we dont it just the way thing s are
