Question
Master Shadow,

I'm and always have been interested and had masochistic tendencies. Until quite recently I have not been able to express these feelings and would like to find a Master or partner with whom I could be myself. I have discovered that finding a person that you can trust is not an easy task, especially for one such as myself who is close to forty and almost as innocent and naive as a virgin. I do not hide the fact that I was abused and sexually assualted at a young age, I inform anyone I might have sex with about my past. I share that information with possible partners so they may questions and not be surprised when they feel scar tissue. I feel by sharing this information I am giving my partner the respect they deserve and the option to opt out. I would like to be able to meet possible partners or a possible Master who would be willing to take on a submissive/slave with a past. The past does not really present a problem for me but I do feel the need to completely open and honest at all times. I would appreicate any and all advice given, thank you for your patience and time.

Truely Innocent

Answer
hello, I am not    Master Shadow  but I will try to help you some if I can.

You might need to get into a local community and just get to know more people so you can build trust and have others get to know you and they will intercede you and thus invite you to events where you can meet others.

Munchs are a great place to network, as well collar me and fetlife on line.  Happy hunting and just take it slow...as they say good things come to those that wait.

I hope this helps a little,
