My Introduction

[His_blizzard]

Hi all. I am here for the first time today, July 15th. I have already chatted with some wonderful folks and felt very welcomed.
I am old in years (53) and rather young to the lifestyle. I was widowed young, and I have 2 grown children that do not live with me, thank God! I am permitted to share a home with my Dom and Domme felines. All cats are Dominant, don't you agree?
I first discovered that my submissive feelings were shared by thousands of others when I stumbled onto the Castle Realm site and realized that a 24/7 D/s union was not only possible, but much more common that I thought. Shortly after that I met Master in a D/s chatroom. What began as a friendship grew to something much more. Although he was at first my training Dominant, we met 7 months later in real life and he became my Master. Two years later I begged his collar and I have never been happier.
I know, to many of you the act of begging a Dominant to be Master is the same as being collared, but not to us. In Master's tradition of D/s, there are 3 steps for a submissive to grow. First, I begged him to be my Dominant. That was the initial training or probationary period. It was during this phase that I could show if I had what it took to be a submissive, and if I were to fit as His submissive. This would compare to a dating period in a vanilla relationship. After 7 months of rather intense training by IMing, phone conversations and many, many written assignments as well, he agreed to meet in person. We spent 4 days in his state (rarely leaving the hotel <weg>) and it was then that I begged him to be my Master. He agreed and presented me with a silver cuff that I wear on my left wrist. This was comparable to an engagement.
For the next two years we were inseparable online and by phone and visiting back and forth as much as possible. Yes, we are long distance and see each other every 3-4 months. This January when Master was visiting to attend my son's wedding, I finally felt I was ready to beg his collar and he accepted my total submission. It was an amazing and exciting huge step in this journey we are on. To us, wearing his collar is even more binding than a wedding ring.
I am submissive, but not slave. He no longer wishes to own a slave. I am fine with that. Like many things about us, it "fits". The obligations of aging parents living near us, and time yet needed to put into our jobs so that we can retire comfortably, keep us 1400 miles apart. We plan to be together 24/7 and even get married in about 7 years. For now we cherish every moment.
I am sorry that I have gone on so long. I love to tell my stort because to me it is a fairy tale that I never dreamed would come true. I am blessed.
Hope to meet more of you as time goes on. "Peace" ~emmy~
