Since I was 8, 9 years old and first noticed Jayne Mansfield, Anita Ekberg, and of course Marilyn. I always liked older women. Idolized them really, maybe because I was brought up by women - my mom and her sisters - and that didn't change much as I hit puberty. It sounds quaint but I was brought of up to be a gentleman, know all the manners, etc., etc. when dealing with members of the opposite sex by them. Separately the first time I heard or saw anything about BDSM was watching "Monty Python" via PBS when I was in high school, a bit of a sketch where a middle aged college professor goes to a woman's apartment and she's dressed in black leather boots, gloves and a corset, with a whip. "Who would want to be beat up by a woman?" was the innocent remark of me and a couple of friends the next day at school. Who indeed...
I was around 20 in the early 1970s of NYC, in college and horny one night, and I bought the evening paper and the legendary sex tabloid, Screw Magazine, for the first time. After all the stories of group sex, large B&W pics of mostly women having sex or naked, there was a classified ad section for escorts, and separately all the way in the back, Mistresses and Dominatrixes. The Mistress section caught my eye due to all the elaborate costuming, the threatening and sexy expressions of the ladies and the wide variety of women available. One had on black leather boots, gloves and a corset... no whip, but she had short blonde hair and she was busty, probably in her mid to late 40s. I couldn't stopped thinking about her. I didn't care about BDSM I just wanted to meet the woman, and finally I got the courage to call and at least speak to her. I called and spoke with the legendary Mistress Belle de Jour and she sounded as sexy as her picture in the ad. In a couple of days I came up with a shipwrecked sailor role play and home made thong made of rags and met Belle for my first session. I won't share the details but she gave me an education that day I won't soon forget. I either saw her, or Mistresses she recommended, off and on from the '70s until the early '90s.
The appeal of the scene to me was always about role play, kind of like acting class. Unlike some here, no real marks, bruises, etc. but the equipment, costuming of the Mistresses, the ad-lib dialogue, the chance to be in the same room - much less worship - such gorgeous women and have some of them give me the impression I was somewhat appealing has been staggering over the years. The seductiveness of the Mistresses, bringing me into their world and their web, has been overpowering. Many of the activities I do know I learned to like based on the trust I had with the ladies I served... and they trusted me. Since I passed 45 or so I've only sessioned with ladies 30s and above. Today few are my age or older... LOL! The 20 year old would be surprised what I like now and what I have experienced, but they are extensions of that first session or three with Belle.
