Although my D/s union is practiced face to face more than online, we met in a D/s chatroom so without the influence of the internet, I would be Dragonless and most likely Domless as well, or at least not with a Dominant that is of the caliber of mine.
I also see where the players and trolls are now having a field day taking advantage of our lifestyle while laughing at us behind our backs after they have gotten off on our "kinks" so to speak.
Like anything else in life, we have to take the good with the bad. I would not have ever felt complete without the type of union I have now, but I will defend to my death the right of others to be solely online. I only ask one thing and it is from the bottom of my heart. Please don't judge me because of my beliefs and practices and I will return that respect. I consider it a great honor to have found so many wonderful D/s friends in sites such as this one. "Peace" ~blizz~
