Hello and welcome to the forum @l.palmerssp 
always happy to help in anyway I can, I’ve been kinky since 2006 so I’m something of a veteran 
My blog is linked to my bio, we have a free BDSM workshop on there which you are more than welcome to read through and which I hope will help you get started on your journey. Please don’t mind the occasional dead link, I am working through them but I’m convinced Wordpress hates me sometimes
If there is anything else I can help you with, just ask
