How did it all start?

The computer was invented.. allright, actually it started rather as stillbehindblueeyes said "I was not searching for a Master. I was searching for a safe outlet for my sexual fantasies " and found a whole lot more more then I could of ever imagined. From online fantasy roleplay to realizing that it was something that was more then just fantasy to myself. I found a local group, met and kept some good friends and learned as I went both in RL and online. Now I have lived 24/7 for the last year and a half, with someone that I had met online and kept up contact, talking, exploration and finally He moved from his state to mine. Lucky me! I should also mention the progression from fantasy dreams to rl for myself has taken the last 7 years of constant exploration and learning, and so far I am just a step above beginnger in my own consideration of where I stand.
