Some years ago whenever I drove somewhere I always noticed the homes and houses that seemed to be owned by affluent people: more affluent than me. Then as time went by I realized I had to retool my vision and look at the houses owned by people less fortunate than I and that led me to consider what about the people who are invisible to me? That was an epiphany: I recognized the world was populated by people of all levels of affluence or even impoverished. Now that was interesting since I grew up poor working from an early age lived in all kinds of neighborhoods, So what does that have to do with my thoughts on this site?
Having been made aware of the M/S culture and related lifestyles I look all around me and wonder what is happening behind closed doors. The Pedophiles make the evening news the violent type do too but the ordinary keep to themselves in BDSM hiding in planesite. Part of my military experience, my artistic side, and my incomplete liberal arts training alert me to being more observant. It harkens back to my Hippie days in the counter-culture: Take a closer look around yourself friend you will be surprised at what you may find.
