This world is relatively new to me, but it's kind of hard to put it all back into that box once it's been opened up... I want to explore the mental to physical connection with someone more experienced than me, who is respectful, patient and empathetic, while also consistent, confident and in control.

Finding someone I can both trust, admire and respect enough to submit to fully is what scares me the most - although I'm not likely to say hey, let's meet tonight, that is ultimately the goal.

I will also note.... I'm a highly motivated person who may not have as much time to give as some would desire, and do want to be able to pursue my professional goals and find someone who understands this and supports it, and in the instance of TPE, I would trust with ensuring my best interests.... a tall order I know. Oh, and if you don't love (not just tolerate) dogs, that's a hard stop.... and clarifying because apparently this is necessary. Pets. I have 4 pet dogs, they are massively important to me, enough that it must be written.
