As someone who has done a lot of roleplay online (though not in Second Life), I would definitely make sure that this OOC dynamic is something she actually wants. Roleplaying a slave and BEING one are entirely different. Sometimes a person gets horny while RP'ing and allows it to drip into their OOC persona briefly, but that does not mean they actually want to be a slave outside of the character they are playing. You'd be surprised how many women play slave characters who are not in the least submissive in real life. They like being doted on as a pet, but have no desire to truly give of themselves. Also, this is my opinion, but if you are running on a fear dynamic online? You are not looking for a relationship. You are living a fantasy of RP stereotype. I began exploring my submissive side through online RP before I ever realized I was meant to be Master's slave in real life (he found me). The RP dynamic of Master/slave, especially in Gorean play, is MUCH different than most of what I have experienced in my real life, and only in rare cases have I seen fear being a part of it in any way except an occasional scene. Most of the time, there is respect and trust. Not fear. My best advice is to have a long talk with her about what she wants in real life, outside of RP. Talk like people, not like stereotypical Master/slave. Because when it comes down to brass tacks, you are both people. And if you two decide that you do want to pursue a M/s dynamic, do a LOT of research into what a real-life dynamic usually consists of. It is NOTHING like most online RP. And try to meet in real life if you guys seem to really mesh. Nothing gives you perspective like real life experience.
