This is actually the second time I've joined this

This is actually the second time I've joined this website, and even though the first time brought me a lot of dissapointment, I've developed an even greater respect and understanding of the BDSM lifestyle. I'm more confident in my needs and know what I'm looking for in a Dom. (First, I am NOT interested in guys over 40, being abused or being a whore, intense pain, or anything extreme. I want to be respected as a person and my submission to be seen as a gift. So please OLD MEN DO NOT WRITE TO ME!From the time I was a little girl, I realized my desire to be submissive, but only recently did I accept my feelings as sane. Most people would describe me as a very intelligent, strong willed, determined young lady, and I assure you all those qualites indeed describe me. But more than anything, I desire to submit to ONE special Dom who will complete me. I need a man who can be dominant, but also be my lover, my best friend, my partner, my life. I do require a lot of attention and affection, so it's important that my Dom is very affectionate and can still provide the things that come along with a normal relationship, especially romance and tenderness.He needs to be strong mentally and physically to protect, mentor and guide me as his submissive. I'm not interested in pain for fun, being abused, or degraded. Ideally, I want a man I can look up to, who is so powerful in my eyes I can't help but love him. I want him to connect with me through his control. At the same time his Dominance should be a form of love as well, and punishment shouldn't be a reaction to anger but rather an act of love. I long to feel the power and connection that would result from the deep trust and commitment of a D/s relationship. Also, in other aspects I'm looking for a man who is intelligent, and has high goals in life. Someone who will share my taste for the finer things in life, and join me in my passion to travel. I should note that I'm very serious about the lifestyle, but not into anything extreme. I welcome all questions!
