Social Media certainly affects how one is tantalized by possibility. Masturbating to twitter, websites or other attractive feeds does not happen for me and cannot come close to replacing and in person encounter.

Having said that, a twitter feed or Mistress blog especially - a real story, journal entry or writing, does provide masturbatory material for afterwards - when I can imagine a scenario with the Mistress in question.

What keeps me from a session is funds or fear. Fear, not of the Mistress, but of the psychological terrain the encounter requires I tread on. The tweet or blog or picture or profile is seductive bait that stimulates the giant, "What if"?
