Aside from the question of "how do you serve someone on Facebook", I'm also left with a thought that I just thought I'd share (my reason for responding to this thread). I have a few bdsm friends who I have friended on Facebook, and I understand that they often post bdsm-related things. At first, this concerned me because my vanilla friends see all my updates and such, but then I started to think to myself that if someone is actually my friend, then seeing that stuff shouldn't really scare them away. I have a few friends from high school days who appear to be very religious, and it's interesting that they're probably reading some "interesting" stuff from my other friends. I would assume that my bdsm friends might wonder why my overly religious friends are posting that kind of stuff as well. The main point is that my own information is basically non-bdsm because I'm not living a bdsm lifestyle right now. But I have no problem with others posting that sort of stuff, even if my vanilla friends might see it tied to me. However, I have to kind of wonder if the OP and some others have gone through the thought process that as they start to integrate themselves into their full time jobs that they may be keeping long term, if they've thought through that curious people who will eventually be friending them through business contacts, might not wonder about stuff like "being a slave on Facebook." It's a choice, and that's fine, but one thing about Facebook and the Internet is that it is VERY hard to erase a history of such involvement. I discovered that the hard way while working in academia, and then just decided I wasn't going to hide it anymore. Worked out okay in the long run, but there were some long months where it didn't work out as well as I was hoping an enlightened academia might deal with it.
