A Little Pain Never Hurt Nobody

Thanks for visiting my new blog. Before we really begin to get to the good stuff here, I thought I would take a quick moment to say a few things here.

I have been asked quite a few times why I decided to start blogging. The answer to that is pretty simple - it just seemed like the right thing to do. When I first started my journey into the world of Leather and Uniforms, back in 1992, the internet wasn't anything like it is today. There wasn't the wealth of information we have now. This was the start of the Internet Boom, and most people just hadn't jumped on the wagon yet.

Being 18 years old, it was nearly impossible to find good quality resources about Leather, Uniforms, Masters and slaves, or any other related topic. Other than trying to sneak into the local Leather Bar when the doorman wasn't looking or playing "Spot The Leatherman" at the bath house - there wasn't much I could do for awhile.

So, I turned to the Internet. In the chat rooms or message areas, I could find playmates - guys who would be happy to tie me up or take the flogger to my backside. Most of the guys I met weren't the type of people I could sit down and talk to or ever get to know.

So, one day, I decided to sit down at my computer and write something. I had already designed a small website for myself - just a few pictures and some info about myself - so whining a little bit about my troubles in finding a leather mentor didn't seem like such a hard thing to do. Almost immediately, I started getting e-mails about it - some from boys who found themselves in a similar position... some from Daddies and Masters offering tidbits of information or encouragement. They all offered a bit of encouragement and the support I really needed.

While today's internet does contain a lot more information than it did back in 1992, I still find it rather lacking in some areas. When it comes to real good educational material on the realities of SM - there just isn't much out there. And what there is can often be lost in the sea of commercial websites, image galleries, and sex-dating personals sites.

I do not think that my Leather-Uniform SM blog, "A Little Pain Never Hurt Nobody" is going to change that - but I do sincerely hope that somehow this just might help shed a little light into one small dark corner of the internet.
