I absolutely have learned more from others than from a source like the Internet. When I first became more open to BDSM a couple of years ago, the man I was experimenting with was quite dominant and I basically went with the flow. He taught me much. Since him, I realized how much I craved being "in charge" and the submissive men I met and played around with from then on were instrumental in helping me bring out my dominant side. The interactions I've shared with others have raised my awareness level so much more than what I've read online.

Still, I've also gained a wealth of info from some good books/literature. And more recently I've discovered how helpful forums such as this are on my journey too!

Be well,
Giana
