Yeah, I think it's just a fantasy -- I would guess that it was actually written by a male submissive. As a general rule, I don't think there's a lot of worth in getting upset about fetish "journals" and "experiences" written online, since there's such a huge ratio of wish-fulfillment to truth. Without pictures I don't think there's much to get up in arms about.
As for cadence's experiences, it's hard for me to believe that anyone who reads this forum could see her as anything but a fully consenting partner in her own lifestyle. She's a smart, tough woman, not someone who's too deluded to recognize what's good for her. I'm not sure why anyone would question that.
