Taking the first steps

[hi****]

Hey
iv always had an intrest in the lifestyle but due to life itself iv never had an opportunity to explore but now that's no longer a problem. I'm now hindered by taking the first steps being confident isn't my problem but more so my manners! I find there to be a fine line between confident and foward. Any tips ?

Your situation defined that fine line, behave as you would in straight vanilla society with respect and honesty. Being a dominant does not change those parameters, being a dominant does not mean you expect all submissives to submit to you, when you find the one who gives you the gift of their submission explore their limits. Just remember, you can be confident and respectful, dominant and forward

Yeah, bring respectful in the opening stages…in the metoo era…then being told you’re not dom enough

Behave as you would when you've dated in the vanilla world. Nothings different here regardless of your kink 'role'
Approach someone as you would in any other environment.
Being confident/forward isn't an issue as such, it's when it verges on arrogance that it will

When I first become Dominant, I did a lot of research bc I wanted to feel confident and I wanted my Sub to have a good experience. The thing that resonated the most w me was, "Don't Dom the way you THINK Domming should be, but be a Dominant version of yourself" and it was the best advice ever. I say, do a little looking into it so you have an idea of what you're doing and what to expect and that should give you slightly more confidence in and of itself.

Depending on how involved you want your first experience/engagement to be, I've always thought some kind of formal sub training program would be really nice. Either from a Dom you've come to know, or from a professional dominatrix.
The hardest part about getting into kinky lifestyles is find the right partner for you
