With all due respect (which is none to the people i am referring)... i'll post this though these people seem less interested in paying attention and more in the mass quantity of messages they can send. i am always interested in creating new friendships with people and have had great luck on this site in just that. The problem arises with those unfortunate few who seem to message just for the sake of messaging. Please, if you have written to me previously and we did not connect, why do you think sending me the same message a few months later will illicit a better response? Perhaps your time would be better spent pondering why you feel it's better to throw bait everywhere and see what bites rather than looking more specifically for what you're actually seeking. Oooh, or perhaps you could keep a list of who you've written previously so neither person's time is wasted again.
i love lists :)

I do not want to be the leader. I refuse to be the leader. I want to live darkly and richly in my femaleness. I want a man lying over me, always over me. His will, his pleasure, his desire, his life, his work, his sexuality the touchstone, the command, my pivot. I don't mind working, holding my ground intellectually, artistically; but as a woman, oh, God, as a woman I want to be dominated. I don't mind being told to stand on my own feet, not to cling all that I am capable of doing but I am going to be pursued, fucked, possessed by the will of a male at his time, his bidding.

Thank you to everyone. i'm learning much from all the intelligent and friendly people i've spoken with so far. :)
 ohhhh fyi... one of said Doms informed me how nice it would be if a sub were to be so forward as to contact them first. A nice idea, thought i'd pass it along.
