I consider myself to be fairly new to this lifestyle, but I tend to agree with what was originally written. I wanted to experience this in real life, not just in chat rooms and blah blah blah (I'm not very internet savvy in case you haven't noticed already). In my opinion, you can't really understand the meaning of this sort of lifestyle unless you've truly practiced it in real life.

But that's just my opinion. I think some good points were brought up, and I'm glad that I was smart enough to consider them before I chose my Dom. I worry that many subs might not be so discerning-- you should be. Being a submissive does not give anyone and everyone the right to treat you as an inferior. It is the most valuable and precious gift you can give to someone. They should value it as much as you do.
