When I first joined I was totally inexperienced, just looking for some fun times and some information (not that I consider myself experienced now - but would love to talk to other newbies). I had the attitude it's only OL and felt that it could not be a real relationship. Then I met a wonderful man called Moonraker who, after about 6 weeks of getting to know each other well, was to become my first and only OL dom. He helped me explore my submissiveness, learn about bdsm and um yes about cyber too. He has taught me so many other things as well - from computers to history to politics. Often the things he tells me remain with me throughout the day and I look forward to chatting with him every day. In addition to unscheduled meetings we have planned weekly e-dates, which are absolutely wonderful - wink wink. We like to refer to our relationship as TTWD - This Thing We Do - to remind us that every D/s couple is different with a special relationship which works for them and satisfies both partners needs and desires.
Now, six months later, I can't imagine life without this man, my dom, my friend and my loverThe point I want to make is that my attitude has changed completely from when I first joined - I no longer think its not real because it's OL. My feelings are real, deep and very much a part of my everyday real life.
If anyone would like to chat or ask any questions about OL D/s relationships or how mine works so well -please feel free to PM me. I think I will be posting some questions of my own as well. Thank you Butterfly for starting this thread, I love to make new friends and share views.
