Saphy, stupid little keys.....sigh

Kudos to sophy first of all.....
Secondly I would get involved in the community along with research.....find a couple of munches ( social meets in the real world, usually in a public venue) they can be intimidating, but there is less worry about blatant inappropriateness? Lol. That gives you a Read more… chance to meet the local players and just observe and ask questions as you feel comfortable.
Online and books are always good....but that is a cold, finite endeavor to a point.

I agree with just about everything said here, as you are new to the lifestyle, learn, learn learn, not just from what your Dom tells you is right, talk with Dom/Dommes but subs, slaves and just kinksters.
My big concern is the pushing of limits without consent......that is an issue......even for Read more… a Master/slave dynamic. This lifestyle is about consent first and foremost, on both sides...
Consent like everything else in this world is dependent on negotiated roles, but there should be at the very least an agreed upon "check in" about changes wanted.....and again with consent from both sides.
There are a lot of predators that come into the lifestyle looking for newbies and such.
