I was my Master's #1, and he took on a sub with very little experience, but a lot of desire...and he asked me to mentor her...I think the number one thing to remember is that we mentor...in effect "Teach", by example...I knew my Master's desires, his preferences, and what he would and would not allow...as it turned out, the trainee was a whiner, and an attention whore....and I was pleased that I was able to find that out for him before he presented her with his collar...Karen
