dang, this thread moves fast. quote:
I never bothered to check. BDSM clubs are like swingers clubs: simply there for the sex/kink. When I was on FL I spoke with people who'd formed a club in this area and determined they are neither mature nor responsible. surely not all of them. i could be thinking of a munch or something. either way, i've been to bdsm clubs that have been skeevy as hell, and i've been to some pretty fun ones. usually i hate clubs of any kind, but i've been to clubs and have actually met good, long-lasting friends. it's all about staying positive- i can't stress that enough. you can't write off something after a couple of bad experiences. quote:
No. Nor will I. I consider them scams. besides the old women who do it for free, i don't know much at all about 'em, so i'll leave it alone. hell, they very well could be. quote:
My friends I've known for more than a quarter century. They are vanilla, as are their friends (aside from me). it's great to have friends that long, because so many are ruined by bullshit drama, but when i was little somebody told me "keep your friendships, young and old: for one is silver and the other is gold". making new friends who are into what you're into, as far as not being vanilla, could be very cathartic. i know that since i've made non-vanilla friends, i don't have that feeling that i can't talk about kink-related problems, or if i can, it's limited to the internet. quote:
As for networking ... I've no interest. I am not going to recommend anyone I barely know, and doubt the lady I seek would value such a recommendation from someone else. i prolly worded that wrong. what i mean is making friends rl who are into the same things you are. not everybody who belongs to a bdsm group is sleazy or immature. you're gonna find morons anywhere you go, sure, but if you've been alone for so long and want this so badly, then maybe you should go out on a limb? and again, if you're friends with somebody then that means they're prolly kosher. that means you have good taste in people. if your future partner is friends with those same people, then that means she has good taste, too. thanks for replying to my message, btw. we are disagreeing, i guess, but we're both being civil about it, which is pretty rad ;)
