I live in a fairly rural area. There is little, if any at all, kink in my town. To find it, I have to travel a few hundred miles. To find like-minded people, I have to travel.

I come online to meet like-minded people because it’s easier than traveling to the city all of the time.

This is not to say that I haven’t lived in cities where I was a part of the kink communities. I have. But now, I live in a smaller city with little access.

Most relationships for me will be LDR to start. That’s not my preference but it is my reality.

I look at online LDRs as if they were the relationships of my grandparents’ or parents’ times. My grandparents corresponded through mail before marrying. My father was in the Navy for 6 years and only got to see my mom (and his 2 kids) every 9 months when his ship would come in off of a tour. Correspondence was the way they kept in touch.

I’m willing to move for the right relationship. I’m willing to take a chance. I think that finding someone to have a relationship with is worth the time that a LDR may take. It’s worth the effort.

It’s hard enough to find like-minded people. Putting one more limit on that makes it even more difficult.
