Or any other organized public bdsm event. What were your feelings as you were getting ready for your first meeting? and how was the group different than you anticipated?
I was excited, and very nervous. Mostly nervous. Wondering if what I was wearing was okay, if I was acting like a submissive is "supposed" to act, what kind of people were going to be there, how do they react to new people, what they would expect of me...
What I found was a really great group of very nice, normal people who were tolerant, accepting and more than willing to answer all my newbie questions and share some of their experiences and knowledge.
