I've known about FetLife for a while but never considered joining it. Mainly because I felt like a fraud. Why? Because for a long time, I've felt I'm just playing around with D/s and people on forums and communities such as FetLife would just ignore me. It's all about acceptance, and that's what everyone wants from life. To be part of something. But an email I received this week has made me look at this differently. Or rather me differently. FetLife (which I'm sure many of you know) is the BDSM equivalent of Facebook and MySpace, but run by kinsters for kinksters. I suppose I wasn't ready to broadcast my existence to a far wider internet audience. Since regenerating the blog and rediscovering my mojo, I have pondered FetLife several times. The email finally made me realise that I shouldn't be scared to say who I am and be proud of this part of my life.
So I've taken the plunge and signed up. It's only been a couple of days and I haven't had time to really start to explore the community, the groups, discussions or make any friends yet. My profile is blank apart from some basic information but I intend to resolve this over the weekend. So if anyone out there would like to join me as a friend on FetLife, my ID there is Lady_Xanax. I'm sure it will take a while to find my way round it and get familiar with how to post or join discussions but I hope to meet lots of new friends. I am happy to chat to anyone whether you're a top, bottom, dom(me), male or female, sub, straight, gay, bi or whoever you chose to be. The important thing for me is to learn and share this whole experience. So now I've taken the plunge, please look me up!

I'm sure that you will already have seen that Fetlife is for all. You have a lot of integrity and I think that counts for more than experience. You certainly don't come across as a fraud in any way.
ReplyDeleteActually, one of the (many) things I like about your blog is that you don't pretend you know it all. You admit to feeling tentative and nervous at certain points. You're human. We all are and those who say they aren't? They're the frauds...
