smiles.. welcome ALM i hope you find what you are seeking.. lol..even if your not exactly sure what that is yet.. hun.. all i can advise is go slowly.. talk to people.. most are very lovely here and only too willing to offer information.. become involved in the forums...read as much as you can ... take your time to explore and experiment..
fetlife (sorry Torq if im not allowed to mention that here) allows you to search for people in your area.. please remember tho to protect yourself it should be safe, sane, consensual (unfortunately there are people out there who will not have your best interests at heart and most submissives will have a tale of hurt .. and not the good kind.. smiles.. scary stuff finished now) but most of all.. ENJOY!!!!
