hugs and welcome Ashley...and have to agree you are adorable.

Questions are wonderful, and a sure sign that you are wise in your journey. i have had several "bad" experiences with dominant personalities...not true Doms, and i have had good and bad experiences with "online" D/s relationships...what i have now is a true Dom, as i know and feel by His actions, His words, His entire being is that i am His and therefore when at my most vulnerable He is completely aware, in control, responsible for what He cares most for in the world, there is continual communication, even at times if it is unspoken i see Him watching. When He is binding or restraining me He is always testing, asking, communicating what He is doing. In session we use yellow and red, i have at times said no, ow, and He will remind me what i need to say, it gives me the chance to evaluate, and on rare occasion i have said yellow, which for us is an immediate stop to see how all stands. The complete openness of communication has allowed me to follow my desire, explore and let myself discover what i long for, as i know that i can always slow it down or stop if it becomes too much. This knowledge and complete confidence in Him has allowed me to push past soft limits to bliss. He has brought me to that deep sub space and He is at those times completely aware of ALL of me...

so my advice to you is to continue as you are....learn ask discuss...of others and of yourself...warm hugs and wishing you much fun and happiness on your journey...your curiousity and openness to ask questions means you are on the right path!

hugs!
