The Young Dom

[Flaming_Redhead]

When I look around BDSM chatrooms I constantly get told I am too young to be a master.

If you fit one of the 16 definitions of the word master, then call yourself a master.

I admit I'm starting out with only 6 or 7 months of experience. But I am very eager to learn with submissives. I know there are dominants who've trained under dominants, but being in college to learn for an educational assistant I get 'sick' of being told how to do things and like to explore it with my submissives.

What you just said sounds like you don't want to learn anything from people who know what they're doing. It seems like you expect to jump right in there and get your hands dirty, as if submissives should be willing to be your guinea pigs. Just remember that it's all fun and games until someone gets hurt in a bad way.

Okay, enough with the background banter, my question: "Can a young dominant be a good Dominant?"

Discuss.

Age has nothing to do with it. It's all about the attitude.

Kudos... well said.

The bulk of my learning came from advice of other subs. Sure, my Master has trained me, but you have to be open to the idea of taking others advice.

And your attitude on all of it will ultimately form your dominant ways. An open mind is best on the topic.

Age is a restriction you're setting on yourself... its just a number. With effort and the ability to explore your dominant side in all aspects, you are capable of being a good mature Dom.
