Everyone has spoke of their professional and family lives. Now i would like to add another thought...how would you feel if someone in the lifestyle recognized you on the street? Would you greet them? Act like you don't know them? Hide? lol I am really confused by the protocol...I'm not likely to address them by their scene name, but is it okay to say hi?

I think this is right on the mark as usual with comments from LadyA, and I'd like to expand upon it. I see the problem of being outed as being mislabeled by the ignorance or the outside world about wiitwd. Their perceptions of where our behavior fits in with relationships are founded on bad porn, bad religion and syrupy sweet romance novels. Although I have cultivated an image as being a freak and a pervert the goal has been to make it positive and interesting; being out would tip the scale toward being deranged and dangerous.
