I am a lesbian, living in London and working for an international charity. I am 'out' to family and friends and to some colleagues, but not assertively. As a young girl I had some traumatic experiences that have affected me, especially my sexuality, but psychotherapy has helped me hugely. I was with a rather conventional woman for many years. I loved her but always felt something was....missing. We ended our relationship in 2007. Shortly after, I met a dominant woman who I was with until quite recently. This is my first attempt at online dating and, because of the nature of this site, I am nervous about having my photograph here but would be happy to share photos with any friends I make here. P.S. I have taken the plunge and put a photo up now!
