I fail to see the connection between experience and ability. Experience only means you have been doing it for quite a while. Go to any golf course and you will see people who are vastly experienced yet crap at playing. Science, the only religion that works even if you don't believe in it. | |||

Don't disagree bohanza. Yes, in some cases experience is important - you get to know how to use the equipment and how to interact with the sub - but I've been to see some long standing PDs who were okay but had no real empathy The best domme I've ever seen (and still see) had little experience when I started sessioning with her but loads of natural ability and empathy and loves doing what she does There's no real right or wrong here. The most important thing is compatability both in type and style of play and on a personal level

Yeah all those hours concert pianists put in don't count at all. Not that I agree that ever increasing experience always adds up to more ability. --- Ha! | |||

Looks perhaps shouldn't matter, the fact is that they do. A PD without photos of herself on her site would attract less people because overall, looks are part of the package you're selling. As for age vs. experience, I have seen some great young Dommes whose skill and personality matched if not exceeded some older, more experienced ones. It also depends how old you are when you start doing this stuff, I have been doing this for 10 years. There are others who are the same age who have only just started. As for experience alone, that doesn't mean a great deal. Some people are naturally better at some things than others, some invest a lot of time and often money into learning, others don't. And there is something else: people's preferences. You might be fantastic with the cane but if the sub wants to be fucked up the arse like a sissybitch then all your cane skills aren't going to help you. | |||

Nice one, you got my gal horny reading that! On another note, The Veyron is actually produced at a loss. Not sure how that fits in the analogy CWK was creating? | |||

it's incorrect. Gawd knows what private school you attended ( bit of lacrosse going on?)but our English teacher Mr Brooks didn't advise it. Maybe it's a comprehensive thing. I'm sure if you google search "can you start a sentence with and" it will agree with Mr Brooks.

It's got nothing to do with which school I did or didn't attend and everything to do with knowing a small amount about linguistics. Nevertheless Noam and Shakespeare are on my side as are the first handful of entries on searching google for "Can I start a sentence with a conjunction" http://www.kerryr.net/webwriting/gpwu_grammar.ht... http://editingpublishing.suite101.com/article.cf... http://www.gpuss.co.uk/english_usage/start_sente... --- Ha!

ETA: And another link that comes close to the top of the results contains this quote
