That struck a chord with me, Sir_Russell. I've been told that some are better at online relationships than others...perhaps the distance makes it easier for them. For myself, it would make it much harder - harder to submit, harder to obey - without the "hands-on"part of it. I guess I'm showing my age, since I didn't grow up with a computer and a separate life on the Internet, so just have no interest/inclination in the "online only relationship" direction.
Yep, I'm a closet Luddite,
