kittysub, my apologies if my response came off as mocking - that certainly wasn't my intent. I simply found tangled's comment to be pretty humorous. I doubt she meant it as malicious either, and when you really stop and think about it, it is kind of funny. You'll find many of us approach things here with a sense of humor. I suppose for new members it may seem teasing or mocking, but it usually isn't . . well, not mocking anyway. Teasing . . . hmm, could be, but all in the name of fun of course.

As for concrete suggestions, that's kind of hard to do. The only real question you asked was about the speed of your training, and there is no right or wrong answer - everyone is going to be different. Some take it really slow, others dive right in. What matters is whether it's working for you. Based on your post, you seem pretty happy with it - you come off as maybe a little shocked, but also a bit pleased. Just keep talking with your Master and your Dom - let them know if something isn't working, or if you're feeling overwhelmed and need to step it back a bit. This is supposed to be fun, and only you and your partners can answer whether it's working for the three of you or not.

Welcome to the library, and good luck with your new endeavor.
