I do not think that an online relationship has the "same" feelings as a real life BDSM relationship, and I know that no two relationships feel the same actually. The only thing that is possible over the internet are feelings when you come right down to it. I know people will say that those feelings are not "real", but that is a very arrogant attitude, because we cannot judge the realness or the unreality of someone else's feelings. I communicated over the internet for a long time with my first dominant. I felt many feelings for him, he was a friend before I knew him as a dom, and I cared deeply for him. Of course being dominated in real life added a different aspect, but I had "feelings" before I laid eyes on him. There was a chemistry there. Alas it did not work out. I think a lot of people cannot find someone local to them, so they experiment with Ds online, and it must be generating some sort of feelings in them or they wouldn't do it. Of course, like I said, it is "different", it does not mean the feelings are not real.
