Question
How do I meet people who are also interested in this life style, I'm 16 and new to this side of me. and want to explore my submissive side more. how do I meet guys who can help me with this.

Answer
Leanne,
   

   At 16, it's a little too early for you to be exploring "This side of you", especially with someone else. If anything, this would be the time to study. Not just the usual school stuff, but this as well, but, leanne, school first.

   I know, you've probably heard all of this before somewhere, but look to your future, and education first. Trust me on this. Toyz like whips and stuff are expensive, and without an education, many of the things you want could wind up out of your reach.

   Leanne, guys, at the age you're at won't have the experience to teach you what you want to learn, and any adult male that would play with a 16 year old is either dangerous, or looking for a jail sentence, quite honestly. Leanne, you're going to want someone experienced, and safe to teach you, and help you to explore, and at 16, I can't think of anyone that would be willing to do so.

   There is a thing Lifestylers are big on, and that is "Informed Consent". This means the person involved is old enough to understand all of the ramifications that come with this Lifestyle, and leanne, at 16, you don't have the experience of life necessary to give that informed consent. Please, do yourself, and possibly someone else a favor. Study all you want on the net, but wait, please, till you're a little older before making this decision.

   Honestly, there's a lot of dangerous people in the world today, and things aren't getting any better in that respect. Please, wait till you're a little more mature, and a little older before exploring with someone. It will be worth it to you, trust me. 2 years is not long at all, really, and the maturity you gain will help alot when you do start exploring your submissive side. You'll have more understanding of WHY you are interested in this, and that will help a bunch.

   Leanne, I wish you the best in everything, especially the Lifestyle,e. Please, keep me posted, and let me know how things are, ok?
