ORIGINAL: IWantToPunish Have you ever stopped to think that’s why Dommes ( and Doms I'm assuming ) have been on here for so long and haven't met anyone. Well, I haven't been here for very long, but my partner and I have idly explored the "online scene" for several years and have had no such luck. I've met a lot of interesting people and made a lot of friends, but in terms of finding someone for a relationship ... no. I think that anyone on this thread would probably agree with the statement that being that this is the internet, this sort of thing is to be expected. It's a lot easier for someone to confess their interests in this lifestyle while comfortably anonymous ... even if they're far too terrified to actually step forward and try it or otherwise prove their identity. That's not alltogether a bad thing, though. Hopefully one day these people who are curious but not willing to "take the plunge" will have enough exposure to communities like this that they will take their first brave steps into the larger world that these lifestyles offer. If it does eventually bring new people in, I guess it serves some constructive purpose. I don't know about anyone else, but myself and my partner don't really actively 'look' anymore online. We'll put the profile up and if someone genuine happens to come our way, great ... but the zeal with which one pursues it tends to wane (at least in our experience) the longer one looks online. For the rest of the posters, I assume that this is ultimately what the OP meant, save for venting frustration at the subs who are demanding instant real-life contact ... as Najakcharmer humorously illustrated. I imagine there are probably just as many Dom/mes who are guilty of the same thing, though. -Sicarius
