NYC Rick, yes, the wig store on e.13th Street. That was the site of my first bdsm session also. It was very unsatisfying (I don't recall what I possibly expected) and I never expected to become a lifetime fan of domination. But, then I met in a college setting one of Belle's nieces, who lived on Pineapple Street in Brooklyn. I was in Grad School and She was an undergrad at LIU in Brooklyn. I became Her tutor in certain school work and She (who also worked part time as a Domme for Her Aunt) became my bed mate and an educator about bdsm. We had 3/4 trysts until her boy friend answered a call from me one day with threats of physical violence. So, I stopped looking for Her, and started reading and experimenting with others.

My history goes back to the pre-Internet days. One day i ventured into an adult bookstore and bought a Female Domination magazine. There were some contact ads in the magazine. I followed the reply directions. Basically, i wrote a letter, put it in an envelope with my return address and postage. On the envelop i wrote a code from the magazine ad. And i inserted one dollar for each letter. It took months sometimes to get a reply.

Junglepet, one of the most unusual - and memorable - sessions I ever had was with Belle keeping me on a leash at her feet for the whole time while she conducted her business. Including meeting a female friend who had come over to gossip. That was the session, me just at the end of her leash the whole time while she talked and worked. Maybe not for everybody, but I found it totally mind-blowing for my submissive psyche.

When you went to the strip club did you have BDSM in mind? Or did you just want to watch some strippers?

Does anyone remember SCREW Magazine? Actually a paper but anyway, that's where i found my first Mistress. Got up the nerve and called the number, made an appointment and was hooked ever since!

Always,bdsm in mind, I've loved playing in the strip club for years. You'll find everything from strippers with no experience but excited and amused to try, to strippers who are known in the club as the domination specialists. Not every girl wants to play, but she'll often point you to a stripper who will. They won't have the skills and equipment of an experienced pro domme, but for me, there's the extra excitement that I'm submitting to someone who doesn't do it for a living.

Anyway, that particular stripper told me she'd played lightly in her personal life, and dominated a customer here and there in the club. But under the tutelage of an experienced sub, she turned out to be a genuine prodigy, and I don't use that term lightly. She even did a short stint as a pro domme, years later

I used Screw magazine also but back then I was looking for an escort. The address door had two buzzers labeled A & B. Pushed the wrong one. The Domme who answered generated instant wood. The right buzzer was a disappoint. I went back, tried the “B” again. I was hooked. I two visited Belle and used Dominant Mystique and other weekly newspapers of that ilk.

NYCRick, I did an unusual one with Belle once also in the early '70s when I was in college. I was invited to her apt. very early - 7:30 or 8 am - and be a "Roman bath slave." I was told to make thong out of rags and wear it under my street clothes. I got to her apt., she was half asleep. Belle told me to undress immediately and I was ordered to the bathroom and fill the tub with water and her favorite bath oils. In minutes she returned wearing high heel slippers and a silk robe. I was ordered on my knees to remove her slippers and worship her feet. Then I was told to remove her robe and saw her in all of her natural glory. I helped her into the bath and ordered to bathe her with a washcloth very slowly. I was aroused beyond words. At the end I helped her out of the bath and slowly dried her off. She put on her robe and slippers and I was ordered into her bedroom. I then helped dress her and by the time she was dressed I was on the bedroom floor, flustered and horny with her standing over me ordering me to pleasure myself saying things like, "Hurry up, I don't have all day!" It didn't.

I also had an awful first experience which I related on Max several times.
As I did you also found your way to to the high country.

I met my first in an AOL chatroom - NJ Dungeon, I think? Anyway, I was quite young and inexperienced so we exchanged phone numbers and I met her in South Jersey somewhere for a great foot worship session. I bought her dinner and then back to her place to play. It turned out to be a 1 night thing though because I ticked her off somehow the next day. It was great though.
