The WWW

Its a big tough old world out there and the internet has opened it up to us all, if it hadn't, you wouldn't be reading this blog in the first place. So why do we all come on the internet in the first place and having found this huge resource, do we stay so long.
Well i think it is more than likely because we find something that grabs our attention and we find that all of a sudden we fit somewhere, find other people who have a like mind on certain subjects be it a lifestyle choice or a common interest of another kind, anything is possible and before you know it, you have friends around the world who over time might become as important to you that those who live in the same street/town, sometimes even more so if your interests are not those that are readily available in general social circles.

You might have a need to look further afield to satisfy your needs on subjects that could be considered taboo within your home boundaries and it is far better to do that in a convivial setting than try to find somewhere close to home that can satisfy that desire, with little hope of success or even the possibility of being outcast if you were to reveal those desires to your family and friends.
Sometimes its better to be a little secretive and rather than blurt out your "kink" just for the sake of being honest and open about yourself, to have a little restraint and keep it under your hat. Sometimes the pain caused by your "coming out" into the open arena will be too much for your loved ones to bear or to even begin to understand and therefore it may be better to not even consider telling those closest to you about your choices.

So where do you go, who do you speak to in your efforts to find others of a like mind, to extend your own knowledge base, to gain a more deeper insight into the subject of your choosing.
Well, i assume that's where the internet comes in for many people.

Some use it to move forward within the field that interests them, others however use it for their own personal gain and even at the cost of others, having little thought for those on the receiving end of their deceit and lies. Those are the one who give the internet a bad name as well as the lifestyle that i and many others enjoy accessing via the net.

It has taken a long long time for many alternative lifestyles to become accepted in the mainstream of today's society, with many ups and downs along the road, that isn't to say that the Gay movement for example or any other alternative choice is fully accepted by the public at large even now, there is still a long way to go for many but it is possible to find people just like you if you are willing to make the effort to go out, to move away from the traditional way of expanding your social circle and use the resources available to us all in this age of technology.

Dont stagnate in the process of trying to build the life you chose because you are not willing to use those resources because they are not the standard way for doing things, try to expand the mindset to encompass all and every means available to you. Dont reject the idea that the internet can be used to enhance your life in so many ways with only a little knowledge of how it all works.
In love and life situations, the possibility of finding the person of your dreams in the next street or even in the same town is unlikely to say the least, what you might consider is that if there is a right person for each and every one of us, what's the chances of that one even living in the same country.
With the opening up of the WWW, you now have the ability to expand your search to find the person that is the ideal for you, but unless you are prepared to open your mind up to that idea that your world is no longer confined to a small area in your immediate locations but rather now encompasses the entire world you have little if any chance of ever going further than the end of your street.....

Use the resources availabe, you have a lot of searching to do.... its a big bad world out there.. have fun looking...

My slave
A post which ought to be seen by more people than perhaps it will. Your insight into the reasons why we are here, and why we do the things we do, both good and bad is remarkable. I say that because so few people have the vision to understand what and how the mechanics of a D/s (or other alternate lifestyle) may differ from the mainstream. You express that in a simple and very understandable way.

Perhaps this should be added as an article in Seekers website. I for one feel it should, and there it may just get some more of the exposure it deserves.

As always, love you mine
