BDSM before and after the Internet

Life before the internet?!?!
Lol, I'm still young enough to have been the first generation of kids exposed to it, I can't imagine how anything ran before it, forget bdsm.

But on a more serious note, the internet has truely affected my life, for better or worse. I never in my life imagined even a possibility of a somewhat bdsm type relationship, and now, it seems more attainable.
Alas, there are still huge restrictions there for those who are from specific backgrounds, so the internet is not the ultimate solution, but it definitly helps.

Throughout my life I've met probably hundreds of girls who go on for ages about how much they habitually fantasize about the most bizarre sexual perverted acts, but would never go through with it for a variety of reasons. This has made me conclude that people, or at least women are either into BDSM or they just aren't all that interested in sex at all.

I'd rather have a sub who wanted things done to her that couldn't be done safely in the real world, than a dom who wanted to do those things to me.
