Question
hi..what does the term try and buy mean?  someone used that term recently and I have never heard it before or what exactly it means. thanks!

Answer
Hello James

Thank you for the question. The term try and buy comes from the earlier days of BDSM here in the states. A dominant might meet upon and another Dominant who feels that their submissives needs a new owner but doesnt want to release them. He or she will allow that dominant to try the sub on to see if he or she is a good match, sometimes for the price of a beer...

Try and buy isnt as perevelent as it used to be but in certain circles its still alive and well..

thank you again for your question
