- The Internet is not reality (online “play” is nothing like real life)
- Sturgeon’s Law applies (there is much misinformation on the Internet)
- Scenes are not seductions (up-front negotiations are a crucial safety factor)
- Submissive is not the same as doormat (beware of the CHuDWah, the Clueless Heterosexual Dominant Wannabe)
- Travel at the speed of trust
- Don’t rush into anything
- There are bad people out there with their own agendas
- It’s easy for someone to hide their true self and intentions behind a keyboard
- The journey of BDSM discovery is its own reward
