...:::Online and Offline D/s:::...


This is a topic that is a must to be addressed. And the only way I could think of addressing it was by asking some friends of mine to help and state thier comments and views on the topic. ( I did not want to be lynched by those who play only online!!! )

Sir Lone Star says:
"In today's society, there is a trend that allows the recognition of various lifestyles. Along with this recognition comes those that only 'experience' different lifestyles as a form of role play. These are the people that cannot or will not allow themselves to fully experience the joys and intensity of a true D/s lifestyle. To 'experience' this lifestyle in an 'online only' setting... there are some that are only taking part to become part of a growing trend. Their rationale is 'different is better'. Unfortunately, these people are the ones that give the alternative lifestyles a bad reputation, which further encourages mainstream society to view these lifestyles with less than enthusiastic responses."

"my opinion is this.....the ones who are true to themselves and discover who they are might be in troubled relationships and there only option for now is online... thats is ok... One must research and learn provided there taught properly it is ok.... however there are some online people who think its ok to be a slut because there homelife is wrong and they partake in online D/s thinking that submissive is being slutty and how many hours they can clock up in fone sex... to these people I have a word of advice ... get out of my playground your messing in a world that is beautiful and does not need ur kind..the reason your life is wrong is because if you put as much effort into your marriage as u did into being and online floosy then your life might be better... Our world is one to be treasured and its very much a private thing from within the soul... if you wish to find out more about the lifestyle you would be better served locating a local club like club submission and attending a meeting where you will meet more geniune people who care about your needs and helping other with similar interests it is dangerous to mess in a world you dont belong"
"and the saftey aspect of online????" I asked him
he replied: "The safety aspect online....is knowing your limits and not letting someone else abuse them.....be very careful because online most can be decieving about whut and who they are... it is easy to lie when your face is hidden... become knowledgable in your quest or thirst for knowledge.... always operate safely and be very clean ... if you meet someone from online.... make sure you have safe calls in place and always meet in a public place cafe etc a True dom would advise you of this .... smiles"

"When you think you have met that certain Someone online.. think again. Before jumping into that D/s relastionship spend alot of time getting to know that Dom/me or sub. Make sure that They aren't into this for kicks, believe it or not there are ~players~ who play the Dom/me or sub role just to have their fun. It takes time and alot of work between the two involved. These are real people and real feelings behind those AVs. When you are certain you know that Person then take the next step. A D/s relastionship can be a wonderful and fullfilling experience both online and offline."
