Thank you for this thread, Pearlgem. I have been feeling these urges for a while now, but only within the last year had a place (and person) in which I felt comfortable communicating them and actually acting on them. I'm 34.

I'm fascinated by the idea of being competitive with other subs. I didn't know that this was going on. I don't necessarily feel that (maybe I'm not reading all the threads?) but what I DO feel when I read other posts is more "Wow! She did that? I wanna do that, too!" LOL Not for the competition, but for the experience, if you see what I mean. Being fairly new, and living 4 hours away from my Dom, I haven't had nearly as many experiences as I'd like.

Thank you again, I've really enjoyed everyone's responses.
