>Hello all! Hello especially to dominant females.
Hello right back, and welcome. As you've already be informed,
"personals" are not welcome here, but they are on alt.personals.bondage.
But I hope you will choose to stay here as well for discussion, getting
acquainted, etc.
I believe that a group, called alt.sex.femdom, exists which is more focused
on that. On the other hand, that's NOT because us alt.sex.bondage'rs
don't find such discussion welcome, far from it -- rather, it's that
some practitioners of specific BDSM forms appear to prefer that sort of
smaller, "tighter" groups.
>I would appreciate any input or suggestions from anyone out there whom
>is involved with the scene and hope to hear from someone soon.
My general advice on the subject is always to "get networked" -- newsgroups,
BBS's, "munches", parties, social groups, and other such expressions of "the
scene". Get yourself known, make friends (even if not "relevant" to your
gender/orientation preferences), etc -- good things usually follow.
A specific of the fem-dom, sub-male scene is that it is the segment with the
highest presence of professional activity -- professional dominae abound.
That can be good if you are full of money and short on time, desire or skill
for emotional involvement, but even then, caveat emptor: while there are
*excellent* professionals, ones who really ARE into it, experienced,
skillful, empathic, there are also, unfortunately, lots who don't really
meet these requirements. With inexperience it can be hard to tell in
advance, so "word of mouth" referrals might be your best bet -- which once
again points to the advisability of being "human networked", as above.
(For this specific issue I guess you might also ask on alt.sex.services).
Once more, welcome, and best of luck.
Alex
