I get this. But we all have opportunities to create new sentiment. Like this board. Or another place.

Generational change of the kind you cite, politics, trolling, disrespect towards dommes have hurt it a lot, though.


That's not generational. There has been disrespect toward women and to each other in general since we evolved to multi-cellular beings that has to in some way compete for survival.

I think that Max has suffered terribly from a lack of moderation. It's why there doesn't seem to be many Dommes who participate there. And without Dommes it's nothing. Self-respecting women don't care to hang around guys who talk about and to women like garbage. I'd literally rather stare at a wall than read some of the trash I have seen posted there.

If you're having conversations with new people then it'll be new to them.

Or maybe you need a new experience to stir up some new feelings and thoughts.

Or maybe you could write articles or a book.
