I met someone a few years ago that planted the idea in my head when he offered Amarillo to pay me to top him. It was all rather random and out of the blue. I have not done any research or anything like that. Once in a while I think about contacting that guy and seeing if he wants to let me practice on him. Mentoring is a great way to learn new things. I am not sure I could mentor with someone it just depends on the person and the dynamic. BTW, that guy offered me $ for one hour of topping. He told me he usually spends around $ a month on pro dommes, not including travel expenses. (Evidently there are no local pro dommes!) - cultures still have parents arrange future marriages, sometimes even never meeting each other till that day. Somebody could be amazing, a great person, be motivated for school, or something and the rules of 'something,' are not fair and impeding them. While people have 'ceremonies' in church, or like buildings, for their moral code, showing off the expected for parents, society, etc.,- you are of course married in the legal contract way, when you have complicated and paid for your marriage license, signed by a governing professional at city hall, etc., The rest is bad dancing, a huge bar and bad tuxes and overweight bridesmaids. As with a straight marriage, same sex couples, you are entering a potentially life altering contract, and both parties should consult separate lawyers, beforehand to ask questions of, when and what happen, for and at the ending of this arrangement. Debts, Green Cards, property, etc., People should understand and sign possible outcomes paperwork, agreements Also, you'll feel differently when you're older, possibly. When your 24 and thinking you're helping out that nice ..', 10 years later,when you do meet who you think is your amazing soul mate, you'll need to sit them down and tell them that you were married, divorced, etc., and be able to show clear and dated paperwork, that it is over with That person then report when the question is asked, 'yes- s/ he , this be their second marriage. Friends, parent, local-state government records all be aware at some point
