I've always had a dominant nature, it just took meeting the right woman to let it flourish properly, although I had started experimenting and showing an interest before it happened.
I learned a lot about myself and other people through that relationship. It was very intense, but it didn't last.
I am in now in a position to start exploring this with my partner of nearly 7 years. It's like we are rediscovering eachother, it's great. I am going slow this time, and setting clear boundaries. I want to get it right this time!
