i was just wondering how many submissive bought some or all there toys, or do doms tend to have toys or is it a split?
Our toy bag is now pretty evenly split, but we do not consider the toys to be 'mine' or 'his' - they are 'ours'. I had many toys before I met him and he had some too, but we have now added to the collection since then. Toys that are joint purchases or gifts to one another.
I got him 2 Acetate canes and a nylon cane with turned wood handles for a gift a few weeks ago, the wood on the canes match a flogger he had made for me.

I had most of the insertables and pre made toys (bamboo canes, crops, cuffs paddles etc.) his were of the imagination via perverting normal objects - oh, and lots of yummy rope.

Also i know it's probably difficult to describe but what would you say your initial feeling are besides being turned on, when your being dominated?
I am, I would say in a constant state of submission due to the service I do daily, but I am not a slave by the way, just a very service orientated submissive. I am not turned on by this, I simply enjoy it and I feel the warmth and happiness from the protection and care I receive from my dominant in return.
I take away the daily little stresses in his life, so he can concentrate on making our lives what we want.

From his domination I feel safe, protected and happy, I'm talking the constant smile happy.

Hope that babble made sense.
