Why did you join this Forum?
i would think i was the potential one day wonder... now that i have some idle time to reflect on it... i am curious about this lifestyle. tbh, it used to freak me out. literally! (check out movie title "8 mm")
i've been lurking around the library since April 2006 and enjoying many excellent stories (non-gory ones), which get me relatively warm and lead me to the other dimensions. *wink wink*
it took me 7 months to find out about the Forums and work up the courage to register. (duhh! lol)

brought up in a fairly restrictive culture, this topic is anathema to the society and a stigma, which is frowned upon ~ even though i do think everyone secretly wants to know more/practise such a forbidden yet delicious topic.

a large portion of my r/l is occupied by work, which i like very much. it constantly takes me to beautiful places around the world. it's fairly hectic & exciting. nevertheless, the daily approach tends to be too methodical, technical & analytical. hence, i am sometimes accused of being a control freak @ work.
personally, i am a cheeky brat who is shy, introvert, and cautious to the brink of being a chicken. (not to mention a spoiled brat ) i sometimes wonder whether i am the only "paradox" one out there... Fortunately, the Forums indicate that i'm not. Yay!

What keeps you coming back?
i kinda agree with the saying "Curiosity kills the cats... but satisfaction brings 'em back..." In the Forums, i found a lot of helpful articles and discussions. Many people offer sincere advice, with humor here & there. No judgment nor ridicule. These gestures are truly warm & encouraging and make me feel free & safe to learn and indulge my unexplored side.
Fearing y'all are in the brink of falling asleep, i would like to all for making the Forums such a great place.
