Online vs. Real Life

• 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, and the journey of BDSM discovery is its own reward)
