When I was a young man trying to find my way in female domination, I explored traditional domination with bondage and light corporal. An attraction to assertive, beautiful women and a desire to worship their feet, legs and derriere drew me in. But, the dungeon style sessions weren't doing it for me. My initial response was to try harder to get into it. In time, I realized the difference between being submissive and masochistic. It was a sigh of relief when I realized the two need not go hand in hand.

Your escapes sound fascinating, by the way. I did sessions with a Mistress who liked to role play with me as a tiger she was training. I thought it was odd at first, but came to enjoy being her adoring tamed beast.
