I'm Nocturna1962, a 46 year old Domme who enjoys BDSM, politics (very liberal Democrat!), sci fi, travel, intelligent conversation. I've read the stories here for a long time, but just joined as a member. I'm a sensual sadist who enjoys inflicting pain on those who enjoy it. If the person isn't a masochist, inflicting pain doesn't do anything for me. I would like to meet other people, male and female, who are involved in the lifestyle. While I'm primarily heterosexual, I am bi-curious and am open to both men and women if the chemistry is right. I'm looking forward to good conversations, and hopefully more!
