I met this guy that I fell wild and crazy in love with, and the first time ever in my entire life I felt comfortable sharing with someone my secret fantasy of being completely submissive to someone. He had an extremely dominant personality so even though he had never dabbled into the world of BDSM, he started doing tons of research and before long he was calling me his princess, and I was calling him my Master. I loved that we got to learn and experience it all together.
At one point we separated and I missed the lifestyle so much that I tried it with a different person and it was AWFUL. I flat out refused to do anything he asked me to do and within about a day I realized what a horrible mistake it was. For me, it wasn't the lifestyle itself so much as living the lifestyle WITH HIM. I know it's not like that for everyone, and maybe there's someone else out there in the world that I would be able to live it with.... but I sincerely doubt that. It's about Him and me. Not about me and anyone who could dominate me.
