Introductions discussion

Hello! I’m fairly new to this place. I’ve read a number of posts and you all seem to be a very friendly group. I’m 50 years old and have been submissive for as long as I can remember. It’s quite hard finding a partner who is dominant. First, it’s not usually an easy topic of conversation to bring up in most settings. Second, it appears that many people seeking a D/s relationship are themselves submissive. This almost seems like a symptom of our fast-paced, competitive society. I, myself, am on a journey. I spent years exploring my sexuality, which was easier than exploring my submissive desires. A couple of months ago, I purchased a CB6000 from an online S/M vendor. I absolutely revel in the way it feels. I usually put it on Friday evenings after I get home from work. I’ve worn it as long as Monday morning, and occasionally wearing it one day during the week at work. I notice some chafing from the ring on the underside of my balls after a few days, despite liberal application of silicone lubricant that is recommended by the manufacturer. Other than that, I’d love to wear it long term with the appropriate person holding the key. I’ve learned a lot since I stopped by and began reading the posts. I hope to learn more. You folks rock!
