Thanks to all for the welcome and warm wishes!
I am a firm believer in SSC practices as well.
As for what I know, it's not much. I've been restrained by the wrists, but I long to be fully restrained. I've been blindfolded, spanked, whipped with a riding crop and a wooden ruler. I'm very much into name calling. And I love being teased/orgasm depravation.
What I feel that I really need is a stern task master. One who isn't afraid to punish me, but someone who also gives out pets and praises. I live to make a Dom happy and I don't feel fulfilled unless I achieve that goal. I also think that I need somone experienced because some of the things I wish to explore are quite frightening, at least they are to me. (Candle wax, nipple clamps, evil sticks) And to have someone who knows what they are doing would put me at ease.
