Hi everyone, I’m an 18yo who’s recently come to terms with my submissive side and feels drawn to the BDSM lifestyle. I’ve been exploring my desires and realized how much I crave structure, guidance, and the dynamic of trust that comes with submission. However, I’m still very new to all of this and want to learn more about how to navigate this world safely and responsibly. I’d love to hear from experienced doms or subs about how they started their journey, what resources they recommend, and how to build a healthy, consensual dynamic. I’m also curious about how to find a dom who’s patient and willing to help me grow while respecting my boundaries. Any advice or shared experiences would mean so much to me—thank you in advance!
