Is it the entirety of BDSM or moreso just online?

I see a lot online but very little otherwise. Except with some military personnel. One on particular....

I gather this stems from the OSODD thread? I'd call it a label fetish more than an acronym fetish and I agree with LaT that it's more of an online thing than real world thing... although lord knows it happens in the real world too.

So you are into FFA or Fetish For Acronyms? Hey we could start a new FFA group on FL.

I must disagree with JBC and LaT ( ). They do! Even in real-life! Aside from any number of local events people identify with letters ( MBK, MAST, etc... ) I hear people actually say stuff like "Are you into SSC or RACK?" all the time at munches.

I don't know if we can even separate on-line versus real world anymore. They're one and the same.

We "oldheads" tend to see them as different, but that distinction is really a relict from our past.

When you look at the youth of today, they live their lives on-line. On-line IS real life to them. For example, I pay the cell phone bill for my nephew who is in his early 20's. His monthly phone transactions usually include about 8-10 phone calls, and 5,000+ text messages. Heck, I've even seen young people text one another when they're sitting in the same room....or even sitting at the same table.

That has absolutely nothing to do with acronyms, but I thought it was worth pointing out.

Bloody government started it.... DOD DOT DOL DHSS CRDC. Brits americans and canucks all do it....
I remember there used to be a game online back in the early days called acronphobia or something,
You would beo nline with a bunch of people and the computer would come up with three four five or six letters that you had to make stand for something... intelligible.
It was much fun in the adult rooms
eg, DOD would become daft old dames,
BBC would be , bowling ball cascade, or ball bobbing cats, or blue balls crushed... the results were hilarious.
MCAR became , My cats ass reeks.
WEG became Way Enormous gonads,
yeah I wasted a lot of time back then, now I just come to CM and LOL LMFAO< AND LMFAOROTFLPIMP! Say PMTA At all the BDSM ers and GMGO.
Sorry LaT:)
