Located in the USA. I have been trying to join the scene for a while now but haven't found someone to join me in this new adventure of discovering that part of myself that has been untouched.
My experience with BDSM has not been much but I will share what I got so far. I do consider myself a Switch, I find it attractive to be able to experience both sides of the coin. At first, I thought both were for completely different reasons but with time I discovered that both follow the same simple principle.
I like to dominate for the same reason I enjoy being dominated. I tend to pay a lot of attention to my partner's pleasure: facial expression, body gestures, voice tone. All of these together bring me pleasure and excitement, which determines how I proceed to act. I don't know if this can be called sub/dom space or just getting high in the feeling that power exchange provides.
Permanent damage, scat, needles, and findom. When there is money involved to obtain someone's company makes me feel disgusted and sick of myself.
