Online D/S

[esclave_PP]

If I may jump in here, while most of my experience has been offline, due to the miles between us, Master and I are mostly online. It is real -- and we visit together when able (or will be...more accurately). I agree -- it is limiting to say that only "one" way is the right way. Online relationships, especially now after the "web" has been around for so long (unlike say back in 97) we have folks who meet and then marry after meeting online. To tell them their relationship isn't real is silliness. D/s takes many forms. If the person feels the power transference, great. Ideally they should meet if possible and if unable oh well, people do the best they can.

As for having more or less credibility, that is like telling someone they can't read because they only read the Enquirer.

Anyone who only reads the Enquirer is barely literate and deserves to be made fun of in my book. I don't expect everyone to read Tolstoy, but at least pick up a paperback or the Times.

To one and all, from this Master's perspective, a Master who trains online and has two slaves that he met online, I have to say that online can and does work just fine.

Now that said, I also have to say that it's vital for there to be total honesty between the partners in everything; especially as there's no real time to see what's transpiring, to look at facial expressions, into eyes and read body language as could be done in real time.

It's also very important to do everything doable to make sure that the person sitting at the other terminal isn't a 'player', 'wannabe' or a cyber stalker trolling for fresh prey.

Possible ways to do that are to aquire copies of driver's licenses w/ the number blacked out, a current electric and phone bill with the acct number blacked out to show a common address. Also the ability to call unannounced to determine if there's perhaps a spouse who has no idea of online activity(ies).

In conclusion if you'd like to ask mine how it can and does work online please feel free to PM and I'll supply email addresses for you to contact them so you can hear it from their perspective.

Becareful, think and then go for it if that's what you desire just don't invest to much emotionally until you're certain the other is who you think they are and you've decided that it's what you wish.

LOL didn't you leave Marquis? Anyway okay the Enquirer is a bad example...Tolstoy isn't bad though... But I think you see the point in any case.

Reading is reading and any is good so long as much is read remembering that old "with a grain of salt" or in many cases a box car full of salt perhaps. *L

Literary merit is well and good, but as long as anyone is reading they'll benefit far more than watching 9/10ths of what's on the idiot box, in my opinion.

Actually I see two rather large points, with nipple lasso's attached, being held up by rather nice rope breast bondage. Sorry, what was the original question?
