T slave​(sub female){Owned} - Its all some people have but I would imagine it to be very frustrating.

ShellyBeans - Lol I'm finding both online and rl to be so T. How have you been?

T slave​(sub female){Owned} - Old and cranky but other wise good! Thanks for asking! Good to see you!

SSG{ENM-TLP} - Since the creation of the internet, I have had online relationships. I have had more connections online than I have had in person. I have had A LOT of connections. Some just needed a friend to chat. Some just needed an email here or there. Some developed into something more than friends, still online. Some became LDR. Some I will never forget. Some I can't remember their names but remember our time. There is such variety in online relationships. There is one thing that remains a constant frustration. You can't touch. Even if it is friends, you can't sit in their presence and enjoy the fact that there is only air between you. Or you can't just wrap your arms around them when they need a hug. HUGSSSS, just really doesn't cut it when you really need someone.

I say all of that but can tell you that some of the most fulfilling relationships that I've had started online. We got to know each other first. We moved slower. There was a lot less pressure. We were able to do it "old school" like they did way back in the times when they would write letters back and forth to each other and not have any clue what the other looked like until that big day when the gentleman would come visit to express his interest in dating the girl.

In BDSM, there is a lot of discussion on the "online" dynamic. I feel like it can work for those who are wired that way. I worked for me until I had an in person BDSM partner. There are differences. I have an online romance and in person (FYI: I am poly). Both are equally special to me. I wouldn't want to do without either of them. The online relationship is no less because I haven't touched him, but will be soooo much more when I can. If that makes any sense. I still adore him. My submission is still his, but when in person...girl get out of the way and put your ear plugs in if you're not a voyeur. I think that online can work if the two will have great communication and be trustworthy. I think in person or LDR at least improves the experience, and if ever the opportunity arises for IRL take the opportunity to grow into it and have it all and be together. Beautiful!

There are pluses and minuses to online relationships. Don't let others determine which is right for you. That is for you and your partner to determine together. I wish you the absolute best!

Hislittlegenie​(sub female){MB123} - I couldn't say it any better than that!!!

ShellyBeans - Ah, ty Sensual. I too am poly. Love my relationship that I am in in rl. They are married. But I'm missing something.

MasterLinguist​(dom male) - In my experience, online relationships are difficult, at best, to maintain for any length of time. Once feelings enter the picture, the desire for more quickly surfaces. Not being able to include the physical or sexual aspect of the relationship often leads to resentment and disappointment. In a perfect world, we would marry our respective Dom/subs and they would fulfill all our needs. But we know, it’s impossible to be all things to one person. It’s called life and it often sucks.

T slave​(sub female){Owned} - Agreed, even when you find the perfect one life sends road blocks that knock you both off kilter.

Bunnie - I look at online as getting to know someone from the inside out, rather than the outside in. Either way... whether it’s inside out, or outside in... there are parts missing if we don’t put all the pieces together. In my opinion... if all the pieces aren’t put together, it will never be as fulfilling as it could be.
