Oh lord the imfamous Online Vs. Real Life thread, how many of these are going around?

So you dont have to dig. Ill just say my part and leave it at that. For some people they have never expierenced anything in real life. Like me i started out online, i didnt know a lick about BDSM, D/s nothing. I came here to learn and expand my mind so to speak.

Then how do you know if you really like doing bondage if you havent tried it? Thats where having an online Dom/me can help. you can webcam with them, they can make you do tasks and its up to you to complete them and not lie about it. They can guide you by giving you advice and you can be open with other subs about your fears, whats wrong and or right and whats good or bad. The joy of a forum is that you get varity.

I was with a Dom online for some time, and never met him, but through him i tasked and learned about what i may like and what i may not like. Different pains that i may like and not like. Clothespins, crops, belts, ice, etc.

Sometimes certain people cant move to real life, becuase they are either married in real life to someone who is vanilla, and or they cant find anyone that is close enough to them that is into D/s or bondage. Believe me there are a lot of little towns that people live in where they cant just go to some local munch right down the road and pick up a Dom. Some people have to travel VERY far to get to a "local" munch. Either way this is why some people choice to keep it online, becuase they are either cheating on there other half, or they are in an open relationship but the other open side can only be online, and or they just cant find someone to be with in there town that is understanding.

I moved to real life about a year ago, it doesnt compare to online at all. Of course the touch of rope, leather, your sub or Dom/mes hand isnt the same as if you were on the computer, lets not be stupid now. Do i down-play online relationships? Never that. Ones connection on the computer can be just as strong if it was in real life. I know some people that have online relationships and they see their online Dom at least once a year, so its sorta in real life and sorta online. Long distance D/s relationships are commonplace, so the computer is a very vital component in there relationship. (or the phone)

Would i ever go back to being online? Not if i can be with someone in real life. I am greatful that i have met my Dom (not from this site) in real life and that we can have a real life connection verses just a mental one (using the computer) but not everyone is as lucky or can find it so quickly or at all.

Sometimes people have online Master/Mistress online just for tasking purposes and or for some mental play. When they have someone in real life that will beat the shit out of them, but maybe arnt good at mental play and or tasking.

Not saying that you have but dont ever down play the relationship of someone online. I know many many people from a D/s stand point and a vanilla stand point that have met there other half (that they are now married to) online. Seriously. Its do-able, the sensations may not be there but the mental connection can be much stronger.

end of my rant. Someone else take over
