The woman or girl in the short black dress. Now what sort or an image comes into your mind? This is a classic idea. What do you visualize? Something slutty? Are you interested or disinterested? Please do not turn off now should you be disinterested. Think further of a black clad Dominatrix, whip in hand. Now what picture comes into your mind? Once again if you are turned off please do not stop reading.My intention in writing this book "My Submissive Journey" is to describe BDSM and in particular to describe how and why I became interested and personally involved in BDSM and why it has appeal and personal attraction for me. There are people like myself who wonder if they should be personally attracted to BDSM. There is something inherently attractive in being drawn to something that most people find forbidden. People write murder mysteries. Now why do people write murder mysteries? People write murder mysteries because people read murder mysteries. Now why do people like reading murder mysteries? The vast majority of people who read murder mysteries would never ever commit murder or even seriously consider actually committing murder of another person. People read murder mysteries because they are interesting to read. A further reason may well be so that they can avoid putting themselves into a situation where they could be murdered. If you are wondering if you should be interested in BDSM or you wonder why people are interested in BDSM this book is for you. Even if you are diametrically opposed to BDSM this book is for you. Discover why someone would be attracted to BDSM. Read on.This book is a very personal account, no holds barred, very intimate. It is not fantasy. My description of BDSM is in Chapter 12.Finally, enjoy this book. May it be very thought provoking, humorous in parts. I as author welcome communication from you my readers.
