Been here in Australia for a year now; but started this particular journey a few years ago through realising I needed something more and never feeling satisified. Like a lot of people on here I'm used to being in control in my daily life and being able to surrender that control gives me a sense of calmness and peace which lasts for days afterwards, while in the moment takes me to places I could only dream about before. My first steps back home set the scene for me as i was lucky enough to meet someone if only for a brief time who understood what it is to be a dom and from then on I have known what I want as a sub and more importantly what I don't want. There has to be a mind connection, you don't capture my mind, intrigue me, surprise me, excite me, thrill me, pleasure me, guide me; you don't have me. Also there must be genuine affection, you don't just take, I allow you to do so because I respect you and nothing pleases me more than to please you.
The visual/creative aspect is very important to me too, lately I find myself intrigued by shibari because of it's beauty. Done in the right way by people who understand what they are doing it is both elegant and captivating. Anybody can tie someone up, but to paraphrase the often quoted expression; 'it is the journey, not the destination'. It's the process itself, a flick of a wrist, a hand movement, the expression on someone's face as they comtemplate what to do next, visualising what it will look like that I find alluring whether that be as part of a stage performance I am watching or in a more intimate setting I am participating in. Through the rope he/she expresses his vision.
Aside from or perhaps to phrase it better in addition to that we should never take ourselves too seriously, if I'm not having fun why would I continue?
The ironic thing is I would have laughed 3 years ago if someone had said I'd have written what I've just written on a profile on a site like this. I guess my eyes have been opened somewhat and before I couldn't see the wood for the trees.
