I first found out about the lifestyle when I was 15, no it was not just the internet fault, nor was it completely blameless. It's a funny story that I would be happy to share with any one that is interested. The thing that I like most about the lifestyle is the trust, the deep connection that it takes to have a successful D/s relationship. It is just something that you can not find any where else. That almost makes me out to sound like some kind of saint. I'm not, we all have our flaws.  I can be quite sadistic when I want to be, I also have a dark side that very few will ever see, and well I love the idea of putting a woman in her place with just a few words that make her spine tingle. Then again, I think its the strengths and flaws that truly make a person unique, after all when you hear some one talk about a friend or a loved one that has passed away they name something impressive, like he bicycled across country to raise money for cancer, and then something odd or quirky about that person, like how he snored when he slept. All right so you caught me I am a bit of a romantic as well.
