Stepping out of the shadows and into the public, social realm of BDSM can be extremely intimidating. What one should always keep in mind, though, is that each and every one of us has done the exact same thing. We've been where you are, graff, and I believe you'll find that *most* of the people you meet will be supportive and understanding as you explore and learn. Do find a local group. Do go to a munch or two just to meet people. Don't let the big, bad Dominants intimidate you (for the most part, they're not nearly as big and bad as they like to think they are). And don't worry about what people are going to think. In all aspects of life, there will be those people who are kind to you, and there will be those who will judge you a fool or worse. It's no different in this lifestyle. If your concern involves people you already know, and how they will react to your explorations, I only have this to say: If they love you now, they will love you in spite of your chosen lifestyle. If you worry about it, don't tell them anything they don't absolutely need to know. Most of what we do, very few people really have a legitimate need to know. You'll find your niche, in time. Until then, keep asking questions and educating yourself.
