Look at the mind of someone contemplating a step and examining not only the step itself but at her reasons for taking it or not. You did a good job in developing her character, her past and her thoughts about 'tomorrow'. She does not seem to be one who will make a bad step, yet will take one that suits her. I look forward to where you go with this, where you take her and how you get her there. I expect this will be no simple process and I am intrigued with your ability and want to see more. Thank you for this 'first step' and the dance that is sure to follow - Kevn
I have to agree with "Kevn" on this one, your development of her thoughts to that single step was wonderfully thought out and reflective of a true virgin to the world of kink. I hope there will be more to come of Tara here~ And if there was a club you actually visit for inspiration you could perhaps share ^//^; Tara isn't the only one new to the concept after all~
...Intricate discussion of a VERY complex topic. However, when I saw Tara say "I'm a sub, I think," and Peter had replied... "You think? You either are or you are not," I nearly stopped reading right there... oops, the existence of the switch means she doesn't HAVE to be one or the other. But you write so well Tara, that I will HAVE to continue reading this intriguing piece, one that no one else has attempted I must add as I have searched for a story written from the perspective of the virgin or 'newbie' trying to ascertain where, just exactly, they belong in the 'community' so I will give a 4star rating and continue reading and thanks for sharing this with us. Cheers! --- Josie
I don't know that it was your intention to imply this, but I found myself deeply resentful of the implication that a feminist would look down upon a female sub, but happily use a male sub. Feminism is the belief that women and men are equal, and that any woman has the right to choose whatever path is best for herself, including, within the context of the lifestyle, being a sub, domme, or switch. The misrepresentation of feminism as forcing women into traditionally masculine roles more worthy of respect is pervasive and vastly counterproductive. The whole point is that a woman can choose a traditionally feminine or masculine role in her career, home, sex life etc, and each choice is equally valid and worth while. Otherwise, an enjoyable piece to read!
