Hi there. I ran across this surfing the web in search of answers to what the hell I went through. I'm still not sure after obtaining a PhD on personality disorders from the school of Google amongst other things. This is a great post.
I am recovering from a whirlwind of a romantic relationship with Read more… not only a "dominant" but a self proclaimed BDSM expert and relationship advisor. I found him after searching through countless podcasts for weeks or even months maybe. He also has a BDSM book that was published and a website that he posts articles giving advice. After listening to his podcasts on repeat for weeks I decided to send him a message letting him know that I really appreciated his podcasts and that they helped me tremendously. Well, that was the beginning of my journey through the process of being duped by someone I regarded with respect. Someone who wrote about the rules and beauty of BDSM. Someone who totally disregarded the rules. Someone who I could kick square in the balls if I ever saw him again. Someone who ***d his own title of "true experienced dominant", teacher, mentor, writer, BDSM expert to prey on a unsuspecting submissive woman. One who was just beginning her journey into the lifestyle. Now, many many months later I am completely dumbfounded that he was wearing so many masks. It literally still blows my mind that I allowed so much to happen. I was under his spell I s'pose.
