Agreed with the above... communication is key. When I was fresh to this lifestyle, I talked to my Dom a lot and used Google and this library as much as possible. I think if you put the effort forth you will do just fine. Be very open with your sub and make sure all hard boundaries are set in place. This way you don't put the whole experience in a detrimental spot light. Anything done needs to be safe, sane, and consensual.

I hope you enjoy yourselves
