I am a complete 'beginner' in the D/s culture and lifestyle. I have done book/internet research and am now considering looking for more first hand knowledge.

I am 36, single, never married. I am looking for a Master/Dom for a 1 on 1 committed relationship....I really don't share my toys well. (grin)   After chatting with a few different people here - I now feel I am more inclined to be a submissive vs. a slave. 

Let me again say, I have no actual experience or training, and am just beginning my search based on a need I feel deep inside, that this is the right choice for me.  I welcome all messages, and appreciate those of you who have written with helpful tips on how to conduct my search in a safe manner.

I am generally very articulate but I am unsure what else to say so I'll work on a more verbose profile to post soon.  I would be happy to exchange photos should we progress to that stage - however I am not comfortable posting any directly to the website.
