Hi SL & NS
thank you both for your valuable input. I am truly learning here, and I can't wait to start living.
One member mailed me offline with another ditty:
"remember its supposed to be fun and gratifying for both of you, don't take it too seriously, we all make mistakes. Keep your sense of humour about things, the myth about the perfect Dom or slave is just that, a myth. Its much more important that you become perfect for each other, learn to know your slave and what turns her on learn what turns you on and do a lot of (safe) experimenting, you'll be ok."
I am learning a lot about myself & my slave from you bunch, thanks again for providing this forum as a means of enriching our chosen lifestyle.
