To prove I'm fair, here's a Daes quote I couldn't agree more with if I wanted to:
"So i dont think its about the sex really, its about the kind of commitment and honesty one is willing to have in a D/s relationship. "
Absolutely. To be honest, yeah the sex is nice sure that's a fun element, but it's got nothing on *that feeling* that has to do with the trust and respect I've built to this point with my woman.
I will say though that you strike me as a person who hasn't yet had a truly deep online relationship. I know a lot of people have doubts about them. I used to myself. But I know what I've found personally is special, and I'm not the only one. It's true you probably can't do a legit 24/7 D/s online, but that method is not the only answer. I won't say that online = real life, because none of us really believe that. Me and my woman don't. We'd rather be face to face and we both know it. But online can still become something deep, powerful, and meaningful. And there are times when it is a lot less easy than I think you realize, especially emotionally.
It's hard calling anything in the Lifestyle an "absolute truth". But I can think of at least two:
1- Honesty with a serious parnter is absolutely non-negotiable.
2- There are a million different flavours of the Lifestyle for a million different people.
