"We are all here in this thing called life to help each other through it (whatever "it" really is).

I come on the message boards to share what I know, what I think, and to speak out against the things that deeply bother me. I probably won't have much impact on the latter, but I feel the need to. I remember my grandfather talking about how our family spoke out against the nazis before finally being forced from Germany. They spoke out, because they felt it was the right thing to do. (History seems to have vindicated their opinions.)

Gor deeply bothers me.

to conduct a psychological study and evaluation of members who post here. it's a secret govt project no one knows about.

just kidding about the last part however the first part is true - it has been one educational and learning experience about some more than others who regularly post.  Daddy said i would learn something here.

MAN! I HOPE my D/s relationship is different from the mainstream relationship I was in!! There are WAYYYY too many bad memories associated with that for me to ever accept that one is just like the other. (I know what you mean though. I was just sitting here contemplating the differences when I read this comment - Thanksgiving holidays and all that...I am utterly grateful I'm out of the mainstream.)

I understand what you're saying too.

I've watched people decide what to do with the rest of their lives based on a one hour coffee meeting. I've talked to women that decided to meet a guy in a dark alley, completely naked, only to end up raped...simply because he said he was a Dom. I've listened to women that played and had sex on the first meeting lament for weeks when he never contacted them again. The reality is that the results most likely won't be any different just because it's BDSM D/s.

I know...

The problem is that those people you're describing MAY ask the opinions of others but in the end, after pages and pages of text warning them of the possible consequences of their actions, they'll still be in the bed or alley or making decisions over coffee with someone they've never met before.

And for all the conversation regarding the possible consequences, all it takes is one person to say "I did this or that with my Master on the first night and have never been happier" to make them discount all of the good and common sense that has previously come their way.

So now, for the most part, I'm here for the discourse.

Having an answer, or a different viewpoint, to someone who asks a question.

And poking the monkeys sometimes. I like doing that.


You're an evil woman MM, but yeah I agree, monkey poking should be an olympic sport!  Also, I challenge my own perspective and try to learn from others about things I'm undecided or uncomfortable with.
