1st let me give credit where credit is due this post is a carry on of an outstanding post that Silver did that being said .
Dominants read a d*** book! If you don't know the diffrance between a Dom a Master and A Daddy Dom look that shit up. I totaly got that we all have to start someplace at some time but you don't wake up on Tuesday and decied over Coco puffs that your a Master. And if your under 21 shut up and watch and learn. You are just learning what sex is and can barely control yourself much less a submissive that is trusting you with her everything. A true submissive/slave/ little takes YEARS to groom and train. Yet you want to come along with your X tube degree and expect to own one?...Not so much .
Submissive read above we all start someplace but know the basics know if you want a Master or a Daddy Dom ask questions learn who you are. But a word of advice never say "No limits" we all have them at the very least you should until you have screened the Dom then screened him again. On the other side if you list one of your limits as "No anal" or something else that cuts off a part of your body for use baring medical reasons perhaps BDSM is not for you. A sub should be willing to offer every part if her body to pleasure her Dom.
Have a career have a hobbie sex is great but you need to be able to carry on a conversation
Both should know how much time they can and will put into this. If it's only weekends cool but be honest with your self and your partner.
Well all start someplace but know your skill level.
