I'm sure this topic has been brought up before, but I'd love to hear your thoughts. Until therapy for us D/s folk is as available to us like buying milk at the store, it seems for many of us, these little great online D/s communities have become our safety net for sanity.
If you are willing to share, i'd love to hear about how you struggled with this lifestyle, when you realized that it was something you could not ignore, and you found yourself at the crossroads. It's interesting to me, because i find that a lot of times, this realization happens to us after we are fully involved in a "i'm trying to fit in and be normal in a vanilla relationship" time in our lives. Even if you were single when it happened, i'd love to hear your story too. What were the struggles? Did you tell any family or friends? What path did you choose and do you regret any of the decisions you made? What would you have done differently and ultimately are you happy now?
