Hello all. I am yet another shiny newbie, waiting with baited breath to learn more about this thing called kink. I have been aware of kink for some time now, but only recently felt like it should be part of my life. This realization came from opening myself up to someone who has become very important to me. She helped me realize that part of why I inflict pain is that I enjoy it. I made further realizations about myself when someone else re-entered my life and was willing to let me do even more to him. These two are willing to give me the gift of their submission. I wish to be worthy of that gift. Thus I turn to this place, hoping that I can gain a basic understanding so that I may ask the right questions to lead me further on this path.
Thank you for taking the time to usher in those of us who have not yet made our way all the way down this rabbit hole to see where it leads.

Thu, July 24, 2008 - 12:43 AMHi, Alanna, and welcome to our little corner of the world! Sorry for the delay in replying; I haven't been around much.
Feel free to ask any questions you like, and jump in on any discussion that interests you. You might also want to dig back through the tribe's archives to read old threads, as there is a ton of great information already here that ought to get you seriously started.

Just this week, I went back and dug up what was probably the very first thread ever started on Tribe. It was the first thread created in the first tribe created.

Sun, August 3, 2008 - 8:41 PMYup, what Patti and Kelly said. On the home page of the tribe, you'll see page numbers. Just go backwards and look for what's there. If you know what you're searching for, you can also use the Google Custom Search box. It's specific to Tribe, and does a fairly good job.

Fri, August 22, 2008 - 10:22 AMAnother great way to learn about BDSM is to join a local group. There is only so much you can learn from reading and seeing pictures. If you join a group that meets every so often you would be able to see how the techniques are done, how the items feel, what the items are made of, how to use the items safely, and most important.....how to make the items such as floggers, whips, paddles, and so many more things.
