I'll make no comments on the events leading up to my experience today, except to say, given the outcome, I am indebted to the Plan A woman who changed the course of my day to make is so.
I've seen the Plan B provider before and enjoyed conventional entertainment - at which she excels - and that was what I expected today after she very graciously and with full knowledge of the circumstances offered her services. However, as I was enjoying some rather exquisite oral attention, my eyes did wander over to a certain apparatus in her main chamber. I knew she is well-respected in the darker side of this hobby and I found myself intrigued.
I have some experience dominating and binding women is several private encounters, but no formal training and my research has been limited to the visual (really?). I have for some time been engaged in a continuing fine art photography project with a rather marvelous professional model completely outside the hobby and it has progressed to include some on-camera bondage. Perhaps, I though, I really ought to learn something from the sub's viewpoint before continuing to subject her to bondage of increasing complexity.
My provider, bless her, audibled quite easily when I brought subject up. As soon as she got her mouth free, she asked a few questions about my intent and quickly moved to completely change the trajectory of the session. I admire the flexibility, good nature, and professionalism she exhibited.
Suffice it to say the session was a spectacular success; both as a unique personal event and a stellar beginning lesson in the art and craft of proper domination and bondage. Notice I say beginning lesson; certainly there is much, much more to learn, but I now know some answers, many more questions, and have a position of personal experience from which to chart my research.
Thank you, both.
