NSFW: I'm in search of a BDSM forum, does anyone know of some good ones?

Nope.

No, I don’t. Being at work I probably shouldn’t offer to do searches for you, either.
Although.. Let me ask a co-worker.
Nope, she’s drawing a blank.

@jmah : thanks for your honesty! ^.^

@mrentropy : I knew it was going to be a difficult find :( I’ll have to keep searching, thanks for the help though!

Ive found one’s own creativity can be a very powerful thing.

Try thinking of fun stuff on your own?

Surely you’ve been here.

@Shield_of_Achilles : oh and we do! It’s just that I am not an overly experienced Domme, and would like some guidance from some of the Veterans of the lifestyle ^.^

@AstroChuck : I have seen many of those sites, however they are mostly just videos and pay-to-use sites. I have no need to watch other people practice when I can have the fun myself ;)

http://www.xeromag.com/fvbdlinks.html
That’s a site for instructional books

http://www.the-iron-gate.com/videos/
That one says instructional videos

Hope they help

@Shield_of_Achilles : Thanks! That was a GA ^.^

I’m too scared to go look for you…........in case I like it! :0)

We were into mild bondage, but the SM side did not appeal to us. Every site I’ve seen mixes them together, so I haven’t even looked for some years.

@ElleBee I envy your relationship. =/

Collarme.com

Fetlife.com is better.

Nope. But I’m willing to learn.

altsex.com

@Shield_of_Achilles : why is that? Sorry to poke, curiosity always gets the best of me ;)

@loser @ChazMaz : great suggestions! I’ll have to check them all out ^.^

@ElleBee Because of the amount of trust and dedication you two must have with each other for all of that.

To me, being able to trust someone while tied up and otherwise constricted, would be impossible.

@Shield_of_Achilles : it’s definitely not easy and something we had to ease into. He did not have an overly hard time trusting me, it was him trusting himself. He was always so worried he would let me down or show me reason for punishment. He sees now that I’d much rather reward than punish and that I am a loving and gentle Domme. I’m more likely to get protective of him and show my “mean” side. It is, however, wonderful to watch him squirm <3

Try to find a BDSM social group in your area and find out if they hold “munches,” which are informal lunches or dinners where people just meet for grub. No sex or play takes place at a munch. And that’s often how they recruit new masters and slaves members. You’ll have to go a few times before they’re comfortable with you, and then you’ll start getting invited to private parties. That’s where the fun happens :-)

Failing that, try to find a BDSM nightclub. Paddles in NYC is affordable and pretty good, as is Eros Connection in Cleveland though they’re more a swingers club than a BDSM club though they have regular “BDSM parties.”

@ElleBee Well I can’t say I’m not one for forming an opinion before trying something, so I think I’m going to stick with the “it’s just not for me” side on this. I’m glad to see that you two enjoy it thought.
If there is anyway i can help further, by all means; let me know.

Try www.alt.com

Just DO NOT ask me how I know this! :-)

I know some great sites, but you’ll have to beat them out of me.

@ratboy Given the topic, that could be great fun. Post an address kidding of course

@ratboy : Don’t tempt me >:D

Check with Delirium. She’s kind of into that scene.

@TheLoneMonk : okay! Thanks for the tip ^.^

You could do a search in your area for Bondage Clubs then join there website. The Wife and I are members of a small, Local club in the Bay Area. Kind on Exclusive though…

There’s also fetlife.com

I believe that Extreme Restraints and or Stockroom has a forum you can go on. Diva Midori is a moderator on one of those sites and she is an author of a lot of bondage books. I have her Japanese bondage book.
