I met her on bondage.com. We exchanged some brief emails and then spoke on the phone a couple of times. Middle-aged and having been curious about BDSM for much of her adult life, she finally had the time and freedom to explore her more exotic interests. She told me that she had played with someone local who had met me and seen me play, she had tried bondage and some sensuous spanking with him and had enjoyed it, and I had urged her to contact him regarding me as a reference of sorts. Apparently I passed that test, and our conversations continued.
One rainy Sunday I phoned her and asked what she had planned for the day. She told me that she had been away playing the previous evening, had just returned home, and would welcome an opportunity to discuss her most recent experiences. It turned out that she lived just a few minutes away by public transit, both of us residing next to the east-west subway line, so we agreed to meet in an hour at the station near my place.
