I agree with what all the others have said. Read as much as you can. I always knew that I was kinky, but I didn't get to explore the lifestyle until I was almost 40. I was in a vanilla marriage for 10 years and knew that I would never get what I wanted or needed from my husband. So after my divorce I really started exploring. I bought books on BDSM and then I discovered the Internet. And as Tojo said, be glad that you can find what you want on the Internet. If it had not been for the Internet I would have never met my Master.

There are tons of websites out there to exlpore. Just read them all with a grain of salt (hell, use a whole shaker full), because while there is a lot of good info online there is also a lot of crap as well. Post here and ask questions, PM people here and ask questions, come join U/us in the chat room and ask questions. And don't worry that you think that the questions are stupid or silly or sound ignorant. W/we all started in the beginning and had the same questions and searched for the same answers. And if you don't ask you don't learn. So please take advantage of U/us (W/we like that, you know!). W/we're here to help each other as W/we all learn and grow and continue on O/our journies.
