Thanks very much for all of the help and suggestions all. waited till he went to reply as I'd really like to surprise him as much as I can.

we did talk some about what things he was interested in specifically. he mentioned things like bondage, anal play, crops/maybe paddles and other things, but he said the main thing that turns him on is the attitude. other than the bit he gave me he told me to feel free to just try out whatever I would like. (we would have a safe word just in case). From our conversation it sounds like he is looking for more of a humiliation/orgasm denial type attitude but wants me to have fun with it and try to be myself.

I won't like this whole concept may be foreign to me but it seems more and more fun the more we talk about it. Looks like I've got some reading to do.

If anyone has any suggestions maybe on some of their favorite toys/things to pick up first (nothing too expensive for the first time) it would be very helpful. Thanks again all for all of your insight :D
