I've had accounts on here before, but it certainly still is a shock to have to wade through this sea of messages again. Mostly old creeps masquerading as dark, mysterious, and masterful creatures, holding the key to deep dark secrets about me as a submissive.

Kink is not some dark art passed on through generations. Mentorship is nice, but not entirely necessary. There isn't some shroud of smoke and mirrors anymore. It's funny that in the age of information these people still are desperate to make themselves important gurus of their "craft".

Read Jay Wiseman's SM101, and you have all the tools you need to learn play, and the elaborate roleplay that is power exchange. There really isn't more from these people, these communities, other than deluding themselves with rules and decorum that they insist on feeding others who aren't experienced enough to know it's horseshit.

These perpetual lies about 24/7 power exchange, lower case letters for slave names, etc, are just things to make older, unattractive, and/or deluded people feel special. They use kink as something that makes them appealing. How else would a 65 year old draw in a 21 year old? Certainly isn't similar interests or physical attraction. How else can acting like an arrogant asshole pay off for these people.

Kink is part of sex, and sex is play. It's intellectual sex, yes, but that doesn't make it a divine rite. Power exchange is only really powerful because the power is given back again, and the submissive is always in control. 

Why would it challenging and engaging otherwise? Who wants to fuck a mindless dog? 

Apparently some people. And they keep messaging me.
