i have to strongly disagree as i am an online sub at the moment...it is a very real relationship....since most relationships start with the mind and the emotions...everything else is secondary and may happen one day...in the meantime, i speak for myself and i'm sure many others, when i ask that you not disparage the reality of an online relationship...
many people feel that it is too easy to hide in cyber...to be something you're not...while i'm sure that is true for many...it is also easier to be yourself...to shed inhibitions...to be more honest and using the internet at its best, it is a wonderful way to meet people that would ordinarily not be within "reach"...just as this message board has enabled communities to be established, so too, does it allow for doms and subs to meet...and have whatever relationships please them and meet their needs....
why is it that again...in a community that prides itself on the accepting all kinks...cyber relationships are considered lesser or not real at all?????
