I think I do research although I don’t have a protocol I follow. Generally if it’s someone I haven’t heard if or don’t know much about I’ll try to get as much info as possible. If she has a blog I’ll definitely read the blog. If I get a strong recommendation from someone I know then probably less research. If it’s someone I know I want to session with from MF or here then not much research at all but in that case I’m probably already following their Twitter and have read a lot about them. So I guess it depends on the circumstances but I think if a Mistress has stuff online about herself and her philosophy and practice it’s a good thing and I’m eagerly going to read it.
