I remember finding the precursor to MaxFisch in the mid or late 90s. It was eye opening to find a bunch of other people into the same stuff I was. Dommes and subs. I had felt like such a weirdo with my kink. Very alone and abnormal. The boards really helped me accept this part of me.

As for finally making my fantasies a reality it took me until my late 20s to make it happen. I wish you luck in getting somewhere where you can find a real time outlet.
