Last night I participated in the “New Beginnings” Panel Discussion class sponsored by the new group “Slap and Tickle,” see their website at www.slapntickle.org. It’s an organization for the “seriously curious or curiously serious” newbie kinksters. It’s a wonderful group, though it’s oriented towards the younger set, they are open to all newbies. It was both an honor to be counted amongst the panelists and a fun way to spend the evening. It was valuable for me to reflect upon my early days and share some of the wisdom I’ve gained along the way. It’s a gift to be able to give back as I’ve had so many wonderful teachers and mentors through the years.
