*grin* I did like it, and it sure needs to be said somewhere! I went and dutifully made all the mistakes a sub could make when I jumped in with eyes closed and feet stretched out for a landing!

But it was a great experience that led to where I am now, so I can't complain too much.


[COLOR=darkblue]Unfortunately, with the birth and evolution of the internet, BDSM has become a role-playing game for many people. They can come online, act out whatever fantasy they have, and go back to their real lives in relative safety and with very little effort. It's an interesting system, if not a little counter-productive.
Do you mean role playing only on-line? I see it as having limited value, best in the early stages of exploration but I was never into that so I'm not sure what it entails or what the people are like. My only experience comes from various (now defunct for the most part) discussion groups usually composed of people living some manner of BDSM lifestyle. And lots of flame wars about TPE. LOL!

Feel free to post your diatribe when it comes to you, I am very interested in hearing it.

As I said in another post, I've come full circle and where we are now is hard to describe. I hesitate to use any BDSM terms to characterize it, yet it does seem to be a BDSM relationship when it comes to the dominance and submission. Sort of. LOL!
