If you get to know me and my posts, you'll see that I quite often put the word -community- in quotes. I'm in total disagreement that everyone involved in the lifestyle are in any way a community. I find the concept laughable at best. I'll be the first to dispute that someone can find even so much as one common interest that we all share. As for the money thing, there are dozens of threads on that topic, so I'm not even going there. As for pointing you in the right direction.... which I'm guessing was the point of the OP... Well, that'd be difficult since I don't know your interests, beliefs, and proclivities in the lifestyle. Maybe you could make a lengthy post about what type of community you are specifically seeking out besides "making friends in the scene". Are you more interested in fetish play or power exchange? Do you want a heterosexual community? Homosexual? Bi? Are you looking for people in a certain age group? Goreans? Vampires? High or low protocol? Sexually inclined or more platonic? Kink specific? Real time interaction or online? You aren't even wearing bowling shoes, but rather a T-shirt that says "Leisure activity." Narrow down your focus and some of us will be more than happy to point you in the direction you seek. The more general you are in what you seek, the bigger lot of people you'll find. (i.e. you seek "lifestylists" you end up on a website of thousands of people). The more narrow and specifically you are in what you seek, the smaller the group you end up in. (i.e. you seek real-time interaction, with 24/7 FM/ms TPE high protocol, you end up in someone's house 200 miles from home, with 6 other people.)
