Domme Group last night

The Dommes' Group that I went to last night was the absolute shot of positivity in the arm that I needed. It was so nice to be part of a community again. The women were all very cool, and it felt empowering to be around such like-minded, good people.

And yes, there were hopeful single boys. I had a lovely talk with one of them. He was gracious, sweet, polite and respectful: something that gave me encouragement that there are good submissive boys out there. No one is perfect, certainly, but knowing how to treat a Mistress is essential to ever successfully attracting one. If you can't even manage to be respectful in a conversation, you are not ready.

Last night also reminded me that I am still firmly in control of this process. I felt like I was back in my element. For me perhaps the most powerful part of the evening was hearing the older women reinforce what I already knew, but their experience gives them a steadiness that I am still learning to achieve.

There was also a married couple there. The woman wore a key around her neck - a sure sign that she's got her husband locked in chastity. It touched me to see a successful, smart couple like that out in the world, making it work. There were other, older couples in attendance who've been together for several decades, and that also touched me. You can get very downtrodden in this lifestyle, thinking that things will always be fleeting and short-lived, that people will only disappoint you and that the voiced devotion of submissive boys is only that -- voiced, not real. To see people making it work was a kind of encouragement I didn't even know that I needed. After the last few months, especially, I needed to see that -- it moved me almost to tears.

They have a play party coming up, and I also got invitations to other events. Getting out there seems to be a vast improvement for me right now. I might even be able to put my sissy-training skills to work again someday.
