IMO some people are most indeed probably here because they are turned on by the idea of bdsm sex and having an otherwise maturely focussed D/d relationship, and have met many nice folk here. I agree it can be un-wise to jump to conclusions about anyone without knowing the full situation, but I will say - I have no doubt that there are indeed people who seek out this life-style because they somehow think it will make them immune from the problems that can sometimes plague "vanilla" relationships, or have "issues" from their earlier years they've failed to address. This makes the bdsm world much like the "vanilla" world, except that there is IMO, a slightly more sinister cast to it, because claims from someone about being a "Mastet" can sometimes come from a person who possesses little control over themselves - and now they want to control someone else's life, too. The idea they would now be seeking to control someone else's life, when they can't "master" their own, is one I can find both amusing and scary. These are, btw, IMO, the folks who write rude e-mails when a submissive says she is not interested in someone, etc. Somone truly in control of themselves just wouldn't get that worked up over a rejection from somoen they'd never even met. This proves they are not only not a "Master", but immature, too boot. Hopefully, many recognize that (and I believe they do). - Susan
