How did you find out about the BDSM lifestyle? I found out it was an actual lifestyle (not just something I made up to feel better) when I got my first comp and met other BDSMers and found out there were clubs and other people out there with the same interests.

What was its appeal to you? The appeal, for me, is that I could use it as an outlet to push myself and learn how much the mind, body and spirit could take under the best possible conditions.

What misconceptions did you have of BDSM before you began that have been changed now? When I first started with the BDSM thing, I thought I was alone and I thought I was a freak. Now, I know, I am not.

What do you hope to learn/teach/pass on to others about BDSM? Safety and a sense that it isn't all just about sex but a path to empowerment. (Yes, even for submissives and slaves.)

Do you consider yourself a "lifestyler" or just an occasional player? Neither. I consider myself a submissive by nature and a slave by choice. I think that humans are far more complicated than definate one or the other.

What do you enjoy about being dominant/submissive? What I enjoy most about being a submissive is learning from my Master about life in general and my life in specific.

What do you like about your dominant/submissive(s), if you have one (them)? I love my Master because everything he does has meaning and purpose and the lessons he teaches me are significant.
