I know Females get it far worse, you only have to look at this place or any other when someone posts a pic. Men get that but not even close to what you guys get.

Do you online date? My mental health significantly improved once I wrote that off.
like how many people have secret lives?
It's funny because, now you mention you are a Dom, I thought, that actually makes total sense, because around here you always come off as commanding in your posts and that just gave me a laugh when I thought of the two.
I mean this is me presuming they are not open about it, but maybe that is because my life is so Vanilla so I am just not that exposed.

Plenty lol. When I turn on location search on all platforms, I get hundreds of results for a 20 mile circumference and I live rural. Sure there are abandoned or double accounts too.

Haha that's funny because my submissive side is much stronger than the dominant one. Well I may be more dominant here than elsewhere, but it could be my directness too, and language maybe? But I get what you mean and it's like a balancing thing. The clichee is old but still true, many men in powerful positions that have to make important decisions everyday, seek balance in being submissive and just doing what they are told.
These men that have the guts to submit to someone for a period of time, are mentally stronger than anyone thinking they are pussies for being submissive by choice. The fact that I am in charge is not what drives me and being sadistic is not what I like, there are other methods than just inflicting pain and I am not someone to be hired to stomp on things or something like that. I take no money, I do it for the passion. I never scream or raise my voice. Basically nothing normal people have seen about BDSM in mainstream movies is reality.
Without going into to much detail, if I have a sub that I know is uncomfortable in public and shy, I send them to get me something, at a place I know someone. Like I send them to a adult toy store and tell the personal (they all know me to give them a hard time (or not) and check the arrival time and other things. For their thrill and to ween them off that counter-productive behavior. It all depends on the person though and what we bespoke are the do's and don'ts and maybes.
They don't know that this information feedback loop exists. Many of the subs I had could literally shed some shackles and gained more freedom and happiness, stronger and with lot's mental confidence.
It's important to let the sub know after the session that they are on the same level, eye-to-eye as a human. That they are respected and valued. After care, so to speak. I am not a monster

Little info: "vanilla", that term is mostly used by BDSMers that think they are something better than those who are not into it, nowaday. I say live and let live so I never use that term
