Oh No worries from me Master PT:
Though I will always reserve the right to disagree about using a web- cam as being safe.
I should have perhaps been more clear in my own responce to the op.
I didn't say that there wasnt a safe way to do it online, or that online couldn't be a useful learning tool, or even a way of utilizing some re-exposure therapy for a bdsm practiconer who has survived a tramatic situation in the past. I used it for that very thing myself when I first joined.
I was just urging that one don't run off first thing into the online arms of someone you cant really know right off the git go and allow them to take control of your life and or limit your online actions or acces to information. A lot of us get cuaght up in the fantasy aspects of this online thing over its practical aspects and often end up becoming blind to things we would have otherwise wished we stayed aware of and avoid is all.
Hindsight is 20/20.
Just FYI for any who are interested: We discuss several different aspects conserning abuse, safety, ways a survivor can get back into bdsm, unique needs that submissives who are survivors have, ways to help dominants with submissives who are survivors, places to go for help etc in the following thread at length:
