Introductions discussion

Hi all. I’ve had lots of fantasies for as long as I can recall, but my first real-life dominant/submissive encounter happened back in grad school with a close friend who worked as a pro Domme to fund her Master’s degree. She showed me the ropes and encouraged exploration, especially things involving leather striking skin, clamps, and rope. I felt quite fortunate because she always respected our boundaries by checking before crossing them; plus, she gently pushed me beyond what I thought was my limit. Later on, my wife agreed to give some of these needs a shot. She wasn’t entirely keen at first, but I appreciated her effort to try. Now I do many of these things independently, which I’ll share in another post. I’ve considered wearing a chastity device for a while now, though never actually done it. I’m here to dive into this and connect with others. Thanks for having me in the community. - Aaron
