Hello and welcome to this place. I do hope that you discovered that being yourself and being respectful are the two keys to sucsessful communication and bdsm. In my opinion being a Dom is much more to do with personality and mindset than having a toybag filled with latest techniques. I am sure you will learn a lot from being around here, get an idea of how others 'do it', and then develop what is right for both you and your sub.
