Like Aesop and Tojo I entered the bdsm world well before the internet and at the time thought I may be weird and the 'only one' doing this shit. Now of course, there is so much info available that newbies no longer need to feel alone and can even research their newfound feelings before the even put their toe in the water. At times I think how my life would have been different if I had all this info available to me when I started, but I also have to consider how exciting it was to explore a whole new world secretly with my partner. I also must consider how I developed my own 'style' without the influence of others. I guess I have to admit there are benefits from both approaches.

There is no doubt that my particular kink I developed over the years without access to information from others. Other aspects that I used as 'tools', such as bondage, were very tame by today's standards, but I can say I did work them out for myself.

With the internet though, a whole new world opened up to me. I found some great ideas to add to my favourite kink, and many many many more tools I could use to enhance it.

I doubt there is a single thing that I do that is original, almost all I do I have seen posted somewhere, so even back then I was never really alone, I just didn't know there were others doing the same.
