I have to say, at that point, it was really about both. I wanted to play...well, duh! LOL I had received just enough sensations to know I wanted more and heavier. There wasn't much I wouldn't do to get to play. Somehow, I still managed to make a careful choice in partners. It wasn't easy because boy did I ever want to play! I also wanted so much more than just play. In all honesty, at least at some level, I could have played without going out looking for someone specific with whom to play. Any warm body with the proper tools and who was not a nutjob would do. Actually, bonus points for a well presented nutjob, but still! LOL I wanted connection. I wanted my life and choices in another's hands (more than I have been able to realistically acheive). I wanted to taste that freedom in bondage thing. I wanted to serve someone for their pleasure and for that reason alone. It was something that was a bit harder to control because play can only happen in certain limited situations. I could serve most anyone at any time to any level. It caused problems. I either was annoying my husband, catering to my kids, or overloading my schedule with various other commitments. I was serving whether someone was interested in letting me or not. It was the "natural" part so to speak. For me, play is an extension of my natural inclination. It came out whether it was good for me or not. Within a relationship, I find I am more able to meet a balance in other areas of life because I have my place to serve on that very basic level. There is an appropriate outlet instead of ones that are so destructive. I can say no more readily. I can enforce my personal boundaries and rules with family and friends better. Do I still naturally care for and serve others in my life? Yes. I do it with a bit more direction and less focus on need fulfillment. I am still very much in that phase of wanting to try anything and everything now now now. I am. That is the exciting part of exploring with someone new (I hope anyway). I think I would try most anything once at this point. I will narrow down more clearly what I enjoy most at a later date. Right now, I want to serve someone who understands my need to do so and play with all the fun toys, gadgets and stuff as soon as we can get to them. I don't see anything particularly wrong with that so long as I am most focused on meeting the desires and needs of my partner without forgetting that I am allowed to decide I don't like something. I don't think it changes my internal status with regard to the label that best fits me, but it will change over time how it manifests. As long as a submissive can keep it together, frenzy is fun! lovingpet
