hi and welcome to the community. there are plenty of interesting people here. i'm 39 and i've have been thankfully reading the stories in the library for years. for me the arousal is in the feelings of being in control. specially when that control is given of a submissives' free will. although the gratification of the darker aspects in some of the stories are terrific it just loses something after a while. i find greater satisfaction in reading of the respect of a submissive/slave and the degree in which they are willing to show it.
