Two Quick Pieces Of Advice To Give To Someone New To Lifestyle Dating

First, go slow. The newness, excitement, and even the dept of arousal can make it very easy for someone new to find themselves waist-deep, or deeper, in a D/S relationship and unsure how things when this far this fast. When another truly cares deeply, they will respect the desire to proceed at a steady pace and will not rush to fully integrate the lifestyle into the partnership. Slow but steady will help you to “win” the relationship race.

At other times, people can be so thirsty for experiences that safety concerns are set aside putting them in vulnerable positions. While this is not something exclusive to those newer to the lifestyle, most often inexperience and thirst combine to create potentially dangerous situations. One person in five, within five years of exploring/entering the lifestyle, will have their consent violated according to the National Coalition For Sexual Freedom. So it is imperative to remember that your safety is your responsibility and no matter how much one needs a drink from the kinky well, each individual must minimize their risk.

I absolutely agree with you, D. Go very slow!

    Quoting uncommon1:
    So often we complicate relationship advice.
    We make it about compatibility, attraction,
    chemistry, personality, and everything in
    between. We offer rules, theories, assessments
    for everything under the sun.
    We come to a new relationship from one that has
    failed in some way.
    While I am ALL about those things, I truly believe
    that at the end of the day the main thing that
    impacts the well being of our relationships boils
    down to nothing less than how honest we are with
    ourselves about why other relationships didn't work
    and what you seek from a new relationship. If you're
    a virgin or new to dating you have no business on
    this site in the first place.

    Finding a meaningful relationship based on a profiles
    and a photos on the internet is ineptness.

BINGO!

    Safety is paramount - boundaries being breached is a violation of trust. Trust your intuition and also vet potential partners before getting to the fun stuff.
I'm with you on the boundaries. I always trust my gut. And Vet, Vet, Vet! Thanks for your input.

    you are so right. thankfully i have never been put in a position of fear for real danger or have been hurt while playing. like most advice posts it all comes down to open and honest communication and trust. move forwards slowly with your partner. trust is developed over time
You're right about trust. Take things slowly. (as you said) Great advice.

We were all virgins or new to dating at one time or another. I remember all the under the counter personal mags you could buy that were full of ads, pics and profiles. Personal dating clubs you had to fill out a pile of papers to join or get invited into. No phone numbers in ads, just a blind drop box or maybe just a po box listed. If you did get a reply to your snail mail weeks later you would be very lucky IF you even got a polaroid picture. You have to look where you can find and even with all its faults this and the internet are hands above what it once was. Also being in a foreign country at that time compounded the problem. Kids grow up with a lot more sexual knowledge than what most of use were brought up with at the time. The pitfalls are there as they are everywhere but I do think that the ones looking are a lot more competent than in the past. Profiles and photos in books and magazines vs the internet......."you pays your money and yous takes your chances".

Whew. I write articles on this. But patience and safety are always the recurring parts in any article.
