gotta say, CastleRealm is one of the old standards, and you should look thru it ...only because it is an old standard and it will give you that feeling of "common knowledge". (And you'll understand when you come across jokes about rose colored glasses and "realmers") but for a practical site, neiayhh... It's written from one perspective only, that of a live in 24.7 male Master/ female slave. The focus is on the relationship dynamic, and that relationship dynamic is one of whole romance, love and adoration M/s. There is nothing wrong with that, and for many, that IS the ideal. You'll find a lot of love poetry and stuff, the site was a mirror of and memorial to a M/s couple and their journey. Please just remember that other couple-systems work too, Female Dominant/ male slave or submissive.. Gay/gay Gay/straight, Authority based family pods/ poly, Romantic based all the way to obedience only with absence of romantic involvement, sexual play only.. no sexual play ever.. you get the idea. Other sites have collections of info.. http://LeathernRoses.com is good for this, it holds an array of articles from varied perspectives, but the time investment can be Hours of wading thru. Which really fed my need in the early days, so don't shy away from it! Franklin Veaux "Why BDSM?" articles are fabu, easy reading, a very light time investment: http://www.xeromag.com/fvbdsm.html You'll also find links to His writtings on poly and other topics there. When you don't know enough yet to know what questions to ask.. this is the site i recommend. Then you have jumping off topics for asking Q's here and fleshing things out more! good luck!
