mattyp61 -> Meeting a dom online - how to ensure safety? (8/23/2010 5:52:08 PM)
Hey everyone, When meeting someone from this site, how do you (personally) determine if they're real/safe? I've been thinking about meeting at a coffee shop and having a quick chat or something, but it's always hard to tell someone's true intentions... and if someone lies to me and has bareback sex with me (for example) that would not be worth it... Thanks for everyones' replies in advance!

I have met a couple of Dom's in person. Only after we have emailed a while and then talked on the phone enough to know we might be able to be friends or playmates....did we meet. While chatting online I ask a lot of questions and keep every conversation. If I find them lying...the communication stops. I have found that many times the guys will hang themselves eventually if they are being deceitful. One I met at a coffee shop and the other a ice cream parlor. We showed each other our ID's, medical papers to prove we are disease free ( be sure to look at the date...over 3-6 months is a no no for me), I did have a safe call set up beforehand. We talked while we went to an amusement park and the with the other on we went to a art exhibition. With both it was a daytime meetings the first time. We had a few other dates while we got to know each other more and seen if we clicked. Trust is a huge issue when doing kinky play. One I trusted and one I did not. There is really no way to know who is safe...it's a guess at best. I take my time...I am in no hurry until I feel the time is right and the other person is right.

quote: how do you (personally) determine if they're real/safe? If the objective is safety, don't meet them. If you choose to meet, choose your level of risk. Doing things like meeting in a public place lowers the risk. Doing things like playing on the first date raises the risk. I generally will not meet someone in person unless i have spoken to them on the phone at some length first. That gives me some sense of their personality (and how "real" they are), and then I can decide how much risk i wish to have on that first meeting.

you do it the same way you would as if it were any other date; common sense and gut instinct.

I have had the opportunity to meet two dommes in real life through the internet and it gets tricky at times because sometimes you have this yearning or craving that may just block all your common sense. Winning over that feeling is a good win, because you learn that you aren't just suffering from some sort of lust to be dominated by god knows who. The first domme I met online took her time with me, emailed me, texted me, talked to me over the phone and sent many pictures to prove who she was to me. Which is a very big step because one would think that a domme wouldn't think that a dom/domme would be so accommodating, especially for me at the time not knowing what I know now. She would talk to me and joke around with me, normal things, just as she was gauging me I was gauging right back, seeing that we both were no "In Character" I went ahead and met with her and the time we had together was very special to me. The second...was just waved so many red flags they may as well been a matadore. Didn't want to meet in public, didn't want to talk on the phone, sent one pic of the body, spoke in non-sequitur as if they didn't even read what I wrote to them and lastly they requested I buy some pornography for them and bring it over. In the split second I considered doing this, I caught myself wanting to let lust win over logic, but this was beyond the pale. It reminded me of that seinfeld episode where elaine brings a teenage boy alchohol and fireworks because she thinks he is more than what he is. So when it comes down to it, I would say communication is the key. Whether it be male or female, just communicate, talk on the phone, and remember to listen as much as you talk.

Meet in a public is a very good idea i alway smet in a Starbucks. If something does not seem right trust your gut. Master and i e mailed for a month then talked on the phone every day for 2 months before we met. He gave me his cell and home numbers. If i could not reach him on one i could on the other i also did the same with him. If a Dom only wants to talk during the work day or will not give you his home number it is a good bet he is either married or living with someone. I WILL NOT play on a first meet, but that is just me. Some have done it and it worked out good i do not reccommend it though. Meet have coffee talk and see if there is a connection if so you can persue it further if not at least you had a nice chat and some coffee. Matt's littleone

Why does there seem to be more focus on the legitimacy of the dom? It seems to be all the slaves who are deceitful...

If you are finding ALL of the slaves deceitful it may be time to look at your own methods of getting to know people. To the OP - I would suggest more than a "quick chat" before commencing any risky behaviours. Could you also incorporate putting a condom on the other person as a form of foreplay (though granted there is a possibility that they will slip it off when you turn around). Trust your instincts.... if something feels off say thanks but no thanks Welcome to the forums by the way [:)]

When I first went over to a Dom's house that I met on the internet, I gave my best friend his information (address, photo, etc) and she texted/called me every few hours. He was made aware because he noticed she kept texting me, and he was completely ok with it (another positive marker). I like to be safe : )

The National Safe Call Network (thenationalsafecallnetwork.org) has a lot of tips for how to meet safely, including setting up a safe call. If you're in the U.S., there's also a state-by-state listing of volunteers who are willing to be a safe call if you don't have someone in your life you feel comfortable asking.

Doms are viewed as the aggressive predators while subs are viewed as prey. Human instincts have you extend empathy to the gazelle, not the lion. Except where the sub is a 'black widow', it's a valid social emotional reaction. However, emotions aside, both parties need be equally careful.

I have always found that common sense and my gut instinct have never let me down. My advice would be don't do anything more than meet in a public place until you are comfortable with them. The next stage would be dating then quiet time at home, leading on to sexual encounters. But even then there are things that you can do to add to your security, like not being restrained until you are completely sure they haven't buried their last five dates under the patio. If someone is as interested in you as you are in them, they will be happy to take it slow to start and build up to a bigger commitment. Remember, you can always say stop, or no.

The only "splainin" to do is say that you went to see someone you met through an online dating site. You set up a safe call just in case. Now that "in case" moment has arrived and your friend is calling the authorities to send help. It doesn't have to be complicated. Also, there are more things to worry about than homocide. Example: human trafficking. A friend of mine was abducted by a human trafficking ring last year and the only reason she's alive today is because the person with whom she set up a safe call notified law enforcement and kept pestering them to find her. Never underestimate the importance of a safe call.

Never underestimate the importance of a safe call. they must have 'pestered' the hell out of law enforcement; people can't even file missing persons reports prior to being missing for 72 hours so i really have a hard time believing this part of your story to be true and i stand by my words.

I wonder if there's cases of male subs needing to alert their safe call to notify authorities.
