Dress smartly but also in clothes you feel relaxed in.
When you meet and after pmeasentaries, just start chatting socially, discuss local news, ask non intrusive questions like what thier journey was like, let the converasation evolve.
.
Be honest in your answers, but if a question make you Read more… uncomfortable give minimum details and if pressed say you dont feel comfortable going into detail until you know them better.
.
If you feel a connection then start to go into high level questions about expectations for what might develop, again let the conversation go down that path naturally, by all means talk relevant medical conditions but at a high level, dont go into details unless asked.
.
DONT : get drunk if meeting in a bar or place that serves alcohol, have a drink my all means, but do it in moderation.

Its not just one or the other, there are hybrids that might agree to outside the bedroom, or only be based outside the bedroom as sex is not a requiremnt of a kink/fetish dynamic.

Confess your kinks so the world can see them when they view you

100% agree that body type is not important. A few years ago a group of riggers did a whole body positivity thing on fetlife which involved larger (size 14+) and physically disabled people being tied.
.
One particular example showed a woman in a wheelchair being suspended.
.
Also agree with the Read more… commenta on hydration and stretching before, also ensuring youve eaten as some ties will sap you of energy, especially partial suspensions where the body is.in stress positions.

Some organisers will agree to meet you before hand especially if you explain you feel anxious, and they can ease you into the munch.
.
Or nominate another female member to meet you and chat generally before hand so you know atleast one other person there.

Being a good rope bunny means working with your rigger, feeding back to him if wraps are too tight/loose, or need to be moved to allieviate pressure on nerves.
Telling him if you have known issues, injuries. That will cause you problems later.
This is especially important with a new rigger, as he Read more… might know how to position ropes in general but everyone is different, or how you like to be tied, do you like rope applied fast or slow.
Learn how to question a potential rigger, on where he learnt, how long hes been tying, etc.
One of the best things ive read on the subject is called the Rope Bottoming Guide.

Ruby, its about being comfortable with your little side, and then your big. Some of that comfort will be down to trust, and some just due to instinct.

Kink doesnt have to be involved in sex,i know at least one couple where sex isnt even a feature of thier relationship.

Its a way of you keeping track of your journey and also a way of experssing yourself if you find it hard to communicate.
The secondary point is that it allows your partner to see how you where when hes not around, especially if you dont live together.

The definition he used is on Dictionary dot com, under the adjective definition.
However the OED and Cambridge dictionaries dont reference such a description.
I also found it amusing that he used lions as a basis for his comparisson considering Male Lions are bascally the lazy bums of the pride, Read more… they do no hunting, all they do is eat, sleep and act as a moble spern bank, yes they occasionally defend territory and the pride from roaming solo males who are likely to kill any cubs they cime across.

It depends, and a collar should not be given on a whim or quickly. The collar has to mean something not just be made of velcro.
Its alsi not always needed, as the most important collar is the one that collars the mind first, the physical one is just a manifestation.

Have had a chance to think about this, a lot of what makes a woman 'desirable' is dictated by the media.
We're bombarded by images of young women who are held up as the epitomy of perfection, ever wondered why love island doesnt have women who are a dress size 12+. Its because they want to sell the Read more… public unrealistic images.
Its also the same for men, look at most pictures of men in the lifestyle and they are slim and ripped, where are the pictures of men with dad bods who dont have the time to spend in the gym working out.

For me personally its about the psychological connection rather than physical looks. Remember just because the packaging looks good it doesnt mean the contents are.
