Hi all i am really interested in getting into this and as such i am looking for some one to speak to about it really just general info, both negative and positive, not really sure how to go about things being a total newbie, so any and all help is greatly accepted.  
      yeah i googled spent hours and hours trawling through various stuff it all got a bit too much to be honest there was some really good stuff but that was far outwayed by the really bad crappy stuff.... i think the research may take me some time!!  
      thanks dirty girly should have looked before i posted this thread<<< dumbass  
      i can see im going to have to sharpen up somewhat arent i LOL....  
      Informed Consent is possibly your best bet as a starting place, you can browse the forums there to get an idea of what the scene is like ... some of them do take BDSM/Fetish a bit too seriously but most people are fairly chilled and relaxed about it all.
I'd suggest going along to one of the many munches which are informal get-togethers that people arrange all around the country.
If you were nearer London, the London Fetish Scene website and forums.  
      hi im john i go to fetish clubs now and then you will find that you will be made most welcome at these clubs and everything will be up to you to take things at your own pace i was a newbie to the scene once and went a few times till i found my own limits since then allways sooooo much fun so dont be afraid nobody will do anything that your not comfortable with have fun finding your own limits cheers john  
      try a small club i go to your not far away from me try putting xtc2xs in that will get you there website and mistress maria will look after you maybe see you there one night have fun i do  
      BD/SM is not about dumb-ass questions
it's about numb-arse questions
