I'm not entire sure what you mean when you say "take root", but you don't need to know someone for D/s to happen. At least I don't. Power exchange only needs people's willingness. That's why I said people walk in, I know how to read them, they give in, and power is exchanged.

A relationship between two (or more) people can deepen over time, and it can affect that willingness, but it's not actually necessary to experience "rooting".

At last! Another person who sees that BDSM *can* be about avoiding intimacy. It is amazing how many people don't see this or at least say it out loud.


Have you written about it? I'd love to read what you have to say.

it also interesting how a few types of depression can easily clear up after a few days of masturbation.


Do you mean depression or sadness/loneliness? Because while orgasm does release a variety of chemicals that can temporarily alleviate a negative mood actual depression wouldn't be cleared up by masturbating -- or we wouldn't have a serious problem with it.
