for me just starting on here (and just starting to realise what being submissive means), i find it can be quite intimidating and overwhelming on here, not intentionaly, but i somtimes worry about responding to a thread, about my feelings on somthing right after somone who's been a sub 24/7 for 8 or 10 years. it's not that i feel my opinions are invalid at all, but most of the time the posts i'm realy interested in have somone who's beaten me, (ouch, no pun intended!) to the punch by expressing what i would have in words so simple and eliquent that all i can do is shrug and be glad somone else understands and can articulate the expericen.
Sites are only as intimidating and overwhelming as you wish to make them, the whole point of a thread is for a person to give their view. It does not matter if another has written the same as you were thinking, what counts is you telling them that you think the same way whether right or wrong and by doing so giving them your support. All 24/7 relationships are different and there are no set rules. I was 24/7 for 30 years as a submissive, but I never came home from real work and was hung like a bat overnight from the ceiling. Once my Mistress had children the D/s relationship was more like a few hours some nights and the odd weekend. I also had work away from home, and after a two day stint away I was to knackered to breathe let alone play games.
