Greetings from the US Northeast!

Hi all! I’m uncannymoebius. I have a deep interest in psychoanalysis and those concepts, particularly the twisting, “endless” loop of the moebius strip which felt just right!:D Residing in Western New York, close to Buffalo and Rochester, I am thrilled to finally become part of your community. I’ve visited the main site several times over the years and read through some topics before. It seemed like the perfect time to join a group of people with similar interests. I started doing self bondage at age 12—I still recall the precise moment when something clicked in my mind, and I can remember almost all my childhood experiments if you’re curious! Now 26, it has been a gradual journey, but I believe I’ve made peace with my sexual desires and kinkiness. Bondage is definitely my top choice for sex (maybe because it was first?), yet I realize I have numerous other fetishes, and my sexuality is clearly NOT heteronormative. I truly hope that this virtual presence and social engagement will evolve into more personal and intimate connections in my real life here in the States. I joined these forums because I haven’t practiced self bondage for long durations before, nor do I have much experience with different release methods. Put simply, I am relatively new to the nuances and reality of being securely bound. Honestly, I’m also fairly new to the countless possibilities within self bondage and BDSM in general. Looking forward to real interactions and shared experiences. Did I cover the essentials? Let me know if I left anything out or if you’d like to chat broadly! Oh, one relevant detail I forgot: I was a Marine in the infantry. Wondering how many here have military backgrounds? And among those who do, how many are submissive like me?
