My first D/s experiences were of an online nature a few years ago. I should clarify that online meant chatting online, email, voice chat, and sometimes phone calls. It was understood by me and my partner that online was the only way we could participate, and there was no expectation for real time due to our circumstances at the time. My sub was also in England, so we were thousands of miles away from each other. My online D/s "relationship" lasted a year, and we still maintain contact as friends via email to this day. I often set up tasks that involved voice messages, thought-provoking emails, pictures, and things like picking out his clothing for the day. I usually required pictures or other messages to guarantee that he did something, but I also had a level of trust that he did complete my tasks because we had spent a lot of time communicating. I don't think that real life relationships can guarantee tasks are completed unless you live with your partner, so the idea that online can't work because you don't see the sub doesn't fly with me. I think online relationships can be rewarding and believe some form of a D/s dynamic can be achieved. You basically get out of it what you put into it. I have since moved on to a wonderful real life relationship, but I will always look back upon my online experiences as a time of growth and discovery for me. Be well, Julie
