Interested in Taken-in-Hand/Domestic Discipline: "The depth of the power yielded by the submissive is equal to the level of responsibility assumed by the Dominant." -nzbdsm

Perhaps the best way to introduce myself is by telling You how I came to write this profile.

I am highly educated and well-traveled (internationally). I have little trouble attracting men, but -in the past- I have often found myself to be the stronger partner in the relationship. This has NEVER been satisfying to me! While I have no desire to give up my power in most arenas of my life, I have always wanted one Man that I could respect and trust enough to submit to Him completely. Yet, as with many people, I held stereotypes about the BDSM community for many years and, thus, never contemplated exploring it…

A few years ago, I came across Taken-in-Hand relationships. I felt like I had found the answer I had been searching for. Yet, unfortunately, I was unable to explore the possibilities in the relationship that I was in. Then, after that relationship ended, I spoke to someone who rekindled my interest in taken-in-hand relationships and inspired me to learn a bit more about D/s. In conclusion, after several months of thinking about and peripherally learning about the lifestyle, I am here. I have a lot to explore and learn, but I know that I am looking for a Man who will be my Sir and also be happy to act vanilla around friends and family.

Finally, although I might be interested in some degree of discipline, I am not interested in high levels of pain or more advanced levels of bondage. I have no respect for out-of control violence, whether physical or vocal (tone of voice, words, etc.), or unwarranted criticism. Your disapproval would generally be a severe enough consequence for any act of mine that might displease You.

I offer my apologies for the strong tone of this message, but if -after reading this- You are still interested in talking to me (whether for a possible relationship or as a mentor), I would be very interested in talking to You.

PLEASE NOTE: Whether wrong or right, I am educated enough that Your education matters to me. I am also attractive enough that Your looks matter to me.
