Thanks everyone for the advice. I am here to explore, find out info - maybe meet a few online friends along the way.

Another question: how likely is it to have / sustain an online D/s relationship? fantassy, cariad, mishka - are your relationships online v. real life? Ozme - I see you're "searching for a sub" - do you "do" this online or real life? Is your real life relationship D/s? Wolfscout - I see you're married to a sub yet have other subs. Are your other relationships online?

I've read through posts & threads trying to get a sense of what works. I realize this is personal information and if it's too personal, no worries!

Thanks again, everyone. It's been a very warm welcome.
