Welcome, Terri!
Hopefully, the confusion is just about the site layout. We're doing a bit to streamline it in the future, I think, but for the moment enjoy the jumble and explore for pleasure: we're like the flea market of sexual innuendo, around every corner is a quirky surprise.
If your confusion is about the lifestyle, that's completely understandable too -- I don't think anyone here wasn't confused about it at some point. Again, feel free to peek around and read some posts, and please please please do bring up any questions you may have: we have a really great group of people here, all eager to support one another and discuss any questions or concerns. BDSM isn't something to dive into all at once, no matter what the sexy fiction says!
Again, welcome to the forums and I look forward to hearing more from you!
