Impact of the Internet
From Kindlings (www.inhischains.com/kindlings)
Do you believe the internet has made the ‘lifestyle’ more accessible to people? How has the internet impacted your lifestyle?
I believe that the internet has opened up a new world to a lot of differnet things. As far as the lifestyle, I do believe it has been a better resource for those exploring. There is a safety to anonymous reading of articles and other information out there. My website is geared to those that have problems finding for what they are looking for. I believe it is a good place to meet experienced people, for advice and learning. IRC has been a great place to meet people and yet remain anonymous.
The internet has also been a breeding ground for wannabe’s and predators. This is a downfall of the open resource system the internet is, however with proper precautions, people can still be safe and learn they way they want and need to. One thing that really bugs me is the wannabes making a mockery of the important values that those of us that practice this life every day (whether you are 24/7 or 24/2).
The internet has impacted my life on the most basic level. I found my Master online. For our story check out the Monday, April 25, 2005 posting. I have found many of my mentors, local groups, essays and resources online. In fact, the IRC chat room is where I began asking questions to learn if I really was normal or just a freak. Turns out I’m quite normal. How about that?

I think the Internet has made this lifestyle more accessible. At my age, too many people think that what I am interested in is “kinky” and “weird”. I met my husband online. He is nine years older, and I know we would have never met if not for the Internet.
