I would have thought this one would have died and been buried by now. Obviously, it hasn't.
To the OP......
Ok. You've done your bit now in attempting to justify what it is that you feel. I don't think anyone has argued the fact that you feel the way that you do about the subject. What people have told you, Myself included, is that not everyone feels the same way about it. I don't think you are going to convince those of us who feel differently to change our opinions. For some, the online thing works. For others, it doesn't.
I wouldn't trade My sub being here at My feet for the best ten subs I could think of online. Trust Me, I could easily name ten from right here on the boards who are fabulous people, who would make wonderful subs for Me if they were anywhere close to Me geographically. The thing is, they're not. Oddly enough, they want the real thing, too. Not a diversion. Not something they can 'fit in' to their schedule around their life. They want the physical, along with the mental, like most people do. Who could blame them?
There was a question that I asked about four pages ago that was never answered. I wonder if you would like to answer it now? Simply put, how many of those who are serving you online would prefer that to what they could potentially have in meatlife? Would you, or would they, be going on about how wonderful electronic domination is, if the opportunity for the physical could be had in it's place? That answer helps to define the debate.
Well, people keep asking questions, so, I answer. I must have missed your question, sorry. I'll answer it now. I can't say for sure whether my subs would prefer real life domination to online. My guess is as good as yours really. Part of me wants to say that yes, they would like rl... but then I know they are in school, or have a job that they just can't drop everything to come see me. I can't do that either so we have a good understanding. Even if we met up in rl, I'd still hold my beliefs about online domination. Notice that I don't say that online is better than rl, only that it has some good aspects and shouldn't be disregarded as "not real" or "Only fantasy." Even if they visited once a week for real time sessions, I'd still dominate them online when they weren't with me, because I'd be taking advantage of the good aspects that online Domming provides, advantages that I listed in my original post. The internet has many benefits... Hell, a lot of rl Doms/Dommes met their subs/slaves here on collarme on the internet. Which means all of you had to have some sort of an online relationship (relationshiup can denote lovers, friends, or just like-minded people, doesn't always have to be a romantic relationship,) before you met, even if it was to send a couple messages. I doubt anyone just blindly sent their address or agreed to meet without first establishing that they shared something. Perhaps I'm wrong. One of the benefits of an online relationship was that it helps you get to know the person better before you meet them in person, I stated that in the beginning too.
I was willing to let the topic die, but then question arose, and I answered and explained myself. I created the thread mainly for those who were on the fence on how they felt about the subject, or to help those that take part in online relationships to feel like they're not alone out there. Maybe I opened a few eyes too, maybe not. Maybe I made one person more open-minded. Who knows?
