Before you all start shouting at Catalina, it is the part after the underscore who is writing an answer. It has been a while since I posted on Lit, but this thread triggered me. I am a bit rusty, so if I insult people by being insensitive I am sure you all realize I am just a bastard and really do not care if I do LOL.
A lot of labeling has been going on in this thread, nice guy, bad guy, they are just labels. BDSM is about labels, but more so it is about who you are.
If you do not have a need to hurt you are not a sadist,
If you do not have a need to be hurt you are not a masochist.
If you need to submit you need someone who needs to dominate.
If you need to dominate, you need someone who needs to submit.
Like with everything there are degrees and variations and depths to the level of what a person needs. The first and most important step is to first figure out what it is you really need. Of course that can include a lot of experimenting with a lot of different people or it can entail just reading a lot, again which depends on the person
Once you know what it is that makes you tick go and look for your counterpart. There are many experienced BDSM practitioners out there who would fit the profile of the person you described and most of them are neither nice nor bad they are just who they are. A Good BDSM relationship is a symbiotic relationship where all parties involved get out of it what they need and want.

I prefer a little vagueness to One True Wayism.
Just know you are not alone in going through somthing that rocks you to the core like this. There are some of us that are too complex, too intense & too intelligent to settle for a life without challenges.
I want to live life with no regrets. This does not mean no mistakes, but I can learn from mistakes and know that next time perhaps my decision making process will be different. I want to cram life full of experiences. Not chasing the rainbow, not searching for some elusive meaning of life, but appreciating every moment & memory. Travel the world, experience different people, but not be so over reaching that I do not appreciate the quite times, the people that make a small difference in my life every day.
Life is for living, not fearing.
Thankyou so much Gracie
You beat me to it, gracie. Definitely a great post from Netz.
