Background info

So, I have to let those of you know that I am involved in the BDSM world. It is very different from what we call the "vanilla" world. I will some day explain more, but this is to help you all understand about my "family." In the BDSM world there are many different types and styles of people. I, myself, define myself as a switch. This means that I am able to fill any type of role that is necessary. There are five basic types. Tops, Doms, bottoms, subs and switch. Tops are the ones that are in control at least during "play time." Doms are the ones in control during most of the couples life. Bottoms like to be the one relinquishing control during play. Subs are the one that prefer the other partner is in control and switches are ready for any type of role that they choose. I define myself as a switch only because I am comfortable in either roles. Currently I am looking to become a submissive, but it has been a really long search. When the time is right, and I have found the right partner, then it will occur. Not before. Now, in this world, a collar is a symbol of being the bottom or sub of someone. Others in this world know to not play or do anything harmful to you because you are under someone else.
I am currenlty collared to a wonderful man. He is considered my Daddy. In the BDSM world this is a term that is usually used for the "top" part of a couple that are sexually intimate with one another. This is NOT how this man and I define our relationship. He is a wonderful man who has an equally beautiful and wonderful wife. Daddy was actually born female. He transitioned a long time a go (in a galaxy that wasn't all that far away). He has collared me so that he can watch out for me in my transitioning. He has helped me in dealing with my parents, work, and MANY MANY other things. He doesn't try to take the place of my dad (aka my biological dad) and he won't. But he is someone that watches over me during this journey and is the person that I am talking about when I say Daddy. If I say Dad, or my father, then I am talking about my biological dad.
Dad is at a different point in all of this and he is trying and will someday get there (I hope soon, but when it needs to happen, it will happen). Anyway, that's enough background for now.
