desoutter -> Doms question on online Doms (10/31/2006 10:43:02 AM)
Hey all, Im a little long winded but I should get to a point with this question. I have been in the lifestyle for a few years... twenty something? Cripes... a long time. Im from a small New England town and always enjoyed the lifestyle and the network of subs/friends I have had. Of course things change and life moves on and I was out of it for years and years... Things are not as they once were.... internet... multi-media... and the few bad apples that have given the internet and meeting online somewhat of a bad name.... I have road tripped for various companies for what seems like an eternity and have noticed many different attitudes and mentalities, from Tucson to West Palm Beach, people in our lifestyle have now... some great... some downright rude and some scary... unfortunately I am never in one place long enough to get to know anyone... I have met a few woman online, from time to time and have always had a good experience... I always have a computer with me... I think the question I am getting at is... for those subs that have met Doms online with success... what is your story? I am curious as to how you progress from meeting online to meeting in the world from a subs perspective. Thank you, desoutter

When I first started out it was a lot of meeting at a diner type things after a few phone calls, sometimes leading to sex and play afterwards and sometimes not. For a few serious ones when I'd been talking for awhile and felt very strongly connected, we met eachother at my place and usually went off to a hotel somewhere for a weekend together. I've evolved to the point where I rarely make NEW contacts from the internet and when I do, I simply tell them to meet me at a party or social event I already plan to be at so I don't go out of my way, it's a no-pressure environment and I don't lose any time if they don't show up.

Whenever I meet someone from the net I usually just meet at a pub or something. Its a safe environment. Im glad to see someone else have realised the lifestyle has evolved and so must they..

cyberDomage aside, pretentions aside, the 'net is just another of a number of places to meet people. sometimes local "scenes" can get a little incestuous and it is nice when new people come in by whatever means. personally - my experiences have been pretty great w/online. if you can get past the bs you can find wonderful people you NEVER would have met otherwise.

First I feel that there is enough of common interests, vision and of course that something that cannot be quantified. The biggest thing though is when I feel I have punctured the guarded/guess what they think I am wanting to here and the man has let his guard down enough to get an idea that I am talking to the real person, then I try to meet as soon as possible. I always meet in a public place and prefer during the day so there is little confusion of what is expected. The man I am currently getting to know we drove roughly half way each and met a week and a half after first contact. One thing that has seem constant though, it always feels very natural and the progression was never forced and tied into some perceived/expected time table.

I met my first master on the internet in a regular yahoo chat room, and after being exposed to that much dominance online and TRYING to be a SWITCH when we met I cryed when i realized that I was wanting to SUBMIT rather than be both roles....I don't really believe in the online dom/sub relationship- I feel that people that take this avenue over the real life are merely SCARED of the individuals that may become...and GOD I know so much about me mentally, emotionally, and sexually after my JOURNEY into SUBMISSION! I wouldn't trade the person that I have become for anyone- it is what makes me ME!

I know kinky and non-kinky people that have met their mate/SO's online and are living happily everafter so far.... I think with any meeting care should be taken. I will be honest sometimes I want them to meet at local event... sometimes I am willing to meet at like a caribou....BCW

juliaoceania -> RE: Doms question on online Doms (10/31/2006 1:53:12 PM)
I have met both men that have dominated me online first. The first was a friend before we ever discussed BDSM, and when we became interested in more we explored this, and submissiveness fit me to a tee. We met in the real world but it did not last.... I tried to date vanilla after that relationship ended, but it just felt unnatural to me, so I put my profile up on alt, and my Daddy was the first one to email me...I did meet a couple of other people for coffee that I met through alt, but they were not for me, and although my Daddy and I were both outside of our distance preferences, we really liked each other right from the start, just this spark there. We first emailed March 10th, we met May 11th, and I love him very much. I do not say those words very easily, and when I do say them I absolutely mean them. He is just so very dear to me. I would tell people that think everyone on the internet is fake that this is just not true, they just haven't met the right person. It is best to try several ways of meeting people, and this is just one more tool among many.

If a person employs the same kind of judgement and thoughtfulness to meeting people online as it requires to meet someone who is genuinely compatible off-line, then I think that their chances of "being successful" (for the sake of this discussion, we can call meeting someone and developing an enduring mutually satisfying relationship) are just as good as, if not better than, meeting someone off-line. As far as my personal experience goes...my local munches are relatively (no pun intended) in-bred (same people who've topped and bottomed and switched with one another in different configurations over and over again for years) and the TNG group near me, while a good group of people, seem to be primarily "into" sensation play as opposed to D/s. My kink has more to do with submission than sensation. So, for me, meeting a person with whom Im compatible in most areas, including my kink, most likely would have been a lot more drawn-out had I only been searching in my area. I happen to work in a profession that is in demand in most of the country, so eventual relocation was not ruled out....so why not look for the best match and deal with geography issues as they present themselves? I happened to be contacted by an amazing, intelligent, funny, sadistic (and often verbose) man about a month and a half after I signed up here. We exchanged emails and chatted online for about a week before we started talking on the phone. Less than three weeks after the initial contact was made, we met in person and we have been together since. Our work schedules permit us to spend several days in a row together, several times a month. That first email was one year ago on November 12.

I met my Master here on CM. I think what impressed me about him was that he had been reading my journals for a couple of months before he wrote me. Something in the one I had just written at the time, he could really relate to, so he wrote. I think we talked on the phone that day or the next, and everyday since then. We met two weeks later in person, he came here. I have now accepted his collar, and will be living with him in a matter of days. Not every story ends that good, but I am grateful this one is. I have made bad judgements on here also, but I have learned from them. It just takes time and a whole lot of patience. Kasha

November 8th will mark two years since I met my Lord in an alt chat room. It was my first time in a chat room, he said hello and we have chatted, emailed or talked practically every day since then. At first he was just "safe" because he already had two girls and lived about 3,000 miles away. However rather quickly we both realised just how special the other was and the relationship just naturally developed into more. It was 6 months before I went to visit for that first time and I became his. The distance has been challenging but hopefully next year I will be moving there for good. Knight's kyra

HollyS -> RE: Doms question on online Doms (10/31/2006 7:16:51 PM)
My first experiences with D/s were online - conversations with people I met in Yahoo chat. My first Dom was purely online (and phone, but no face-to-face d/t distance), which worked for both of us at the time. Since then I've met others by chatting in IM first, then progressing to the telephone before agreeing to meet in person. This was how I met Sir this past January and I couldn't be happier. For me, lots of talk time online builds a foundation for being willing to meet. I know many people don't understand the attraction to IM, but I greatly prefer it over the telephone. Either way, use whichever mode of conversation works best for you but use it liberally. My closest relationships that began online -- D/s and friendship -- developed with those whom I spoke to nearly every day. Best of luck to you. ~Holly

I met my Dom online. We got to know each other, became friends, discovered our mutual interest in the lifestyle, fell in love and after 10 months of being online and long distance finally got to be together to live our lives as Dom/sub, best friends, lovers, and partners. We have been very happy for the last 7 months and only seem to get better everyday.

ladychatterley -> RE: Doms question on online Doms (10/31/2006 8:16:03 PM)
In my always humble opinion (and if you believe that, I have some terrific oceanfront real estate available in Kansas...) internet relationships can often fall into a very specific set of traps. Specifically, people (vanilla or not) connect with this one shared interest/passion/hobby and they tend to be much more open about vulnerabilities/things they haven't shared much/letting down their guard very quickly because the internet gives us a feeling of anonymity. If a relationship stays on the internet for very long, in my experience (and the experience of quite a few friends), it has little chance of actually working (not none, but little) because you develop this intense, passionate, vulnerable and really quite profound connection and then you meet this person in real life and realize you shared all these things with them too quickly and you can't get real-life to match the level of emotional vulnerablity/intimacy you've developed. (I even had this happen with a gay pen pal, and I'm a straight chick, so we had NO romantic intimations of any sort, but it still happened.) The real difficulty is moving a relationship from on-line to real life and I think it is a hard one to pull off. So for me, before I found my Dom (here), I wanted to meet as quickly as possible. In my experience, people just aren't the same in real life as they present themselves on-line. Even if they are totally, 100% honest, they are presenting themselves as they see themselves (or possibly as they wish to be) and it is nearly impossible to know who you really are in all areas. So for me, I would screen for a couple of things (and make sure we were looking for the same things) via e-mail, move to a phone call as soon as possible. For me, discussion of sex needed to be relatively clinical on e-mail—I didn’t want to talk about sex at all on the phone. I just didn’t do phone sex and I didn’t like it when I felt like I was being pushed there. If I was attracted to their voice (which is actually more important to me than looks) and there was chemistry (for me, I really wanted someone who I could have intellectual, quick conversation with that kept me intellectually engaged), I would try to get together quickly. I always met for coffee, usually with a planned event a couple of hours later so I could get out if there wasn't chemistry. In my opinion, in an ideal world, 3 or 4 e-mail exchanges and 20 minutes on the phone should be enough to risk an hour on coffee within a week, although the person I'm now with, we talked for about 6 hours in the 24 hours after we started e-mailing and met the next day. I'm not nearly as concerned about developing an intimate connection over the phone as I am over e-mail. I don't have the tendency to overshare the same way.

When I first decided to start my search for a Master I placed an ad on another BDSM site. I was completely new to the lifestyle but had a pretty good idea of what I wanted. I was contacted by so many potential Doms in the first couple of weeks. Many lasted for a quick 5 min chat before I reaslised they were not for me. Some lasted longer and progressed to phone calls and a couple made it to the meeting for coffee stage. One made it as far as lunch followed by an afternoon discussing art and media. One Dom that contacted me the first day the ad went up chatted for a couple of days before insisting we meet. His idea of meeting was play on the first date which scared me silly. Looking back I have no idea why I agreed to this with him. We chatted for a couple of weeks, never spoke to each other on the phone apart from one very short call the day before we were due to meet to confirm hotel bookings. We met and played just as he had said and I had my first taste of needle play. Of course I broke all the rules, met someone without much real contact, played on the first date etc. Neither of us can say now what made us do that at the time. We have now been together for 2 and half years, bought a house together and have set up and run a successful business. So I guess that there are times when even online you can just click with someone.
