<snipped for brevity and point> Quote "I decided that online wasn't enough for me. I wanted to experience real life play. Once I did, I decided to seek a real life relationship with an experienced dominant. When comparing the two, they are worlds apart. There is a huge difference in spanking yourself and being spanked. There is a huge difference in being face to face and facing a web cam. I realize that for many reasons online is all some people will ever know, and they are content to get even that much. For others who are free to do as they wish, I don't understand the pursuit of online at all. Having experienced this in the flesh, I couldn't go back to online and expect to get any satisfaction. The internet is a useful tool for gathering information and meeting people, but like my dom says....which really pisses me off since I do spend some time online.....GET A LIFE!!!!".

Agreed "Worlds Apart" and the "Huge Differences"!

And though I do understand to a point persuing some things online. Like gaining Knowledge, understanding, like for my Partner here "entertainment", playtime, and for me many Groups I am a part of (though I Know many of the PPL on most of them RT), and I Love this Group and the chat <G>. And other things, as well as the possibilty of meeting Other(s) that may some day become a part of sharing a RL.

It is the Solely Online I haven't been able to grasp.
