A new member here. I am tip-toeing into your community of bdsm with a mix of excitement and trepidation. In the few visits I have made here to glance at forum posts, conversation threads and in general lurk just a bit I have begun to feel a little less anxious about admitting (mostly to myself) that I have rather strong bdsm desires. Admitting such a thing to oneself may seem like a rather small matter to those of you honest and secure enough to accept bdsm as a natural human desire/fetish, but it represents a very big thing for this newbie. I hope to eventually become comfortable enough with the community here that sharing thoughts and feelings about such intimate components of myself feels perfectly natural and normal. In the interim, thanks for accepting me into your community.

most sincerely, wweary
