I think there are many "uses" for an internet sub.

* To fill one's Dom need's while he explores possiblities with a sub doing the same thing.

* To share experiences and a bond with someone .

* To Do what some can't do in rl for whatever the reason may be.

* For The Sub To build a trust and share of the D/s relationship that some can't find in real life because some Doms in real life are truly assholes.

* For the Dom who is an ass in real life but has a better online relationship with people and they seem to hang around longer. Note = ( really thinks I need a thread on Good and Bad Doms again from discussions with other members. )

* For the subs ability to learn and share with her RL Dom or SO new interests that will improve the relationship. ( Same goes for the Dom)

* For the sub to explore her boundaries with out causing rl damage to another relationship.

* hrm i could think of some more if i spent the time......... chuckles.
