Ok but like. What the fuck is there to do on the internet anymore?
Idk when I was younger, you could just go and go and find exciting new websites full of whatever cool things you wanted to explore. An overabundance of ways to occupy your time online.
Now, it’s just… Social media. That’s it. Social media and news sites. And I’m tired of social media and I’m tired of the news.
Am I just like completely inept at finding new things or has the internet just fallen apart that much with the problems of SEO and web 3.0 turning everything into a same-site prison?

The Hidden Emotions of Dominance
In the world of BDSM, we often focus on the trust, communication, and intense emotions shared between dominants and submissives during a scene. However, there is a less-explored aspect of BDSM that can be just as intense and emotionally charged, the feelings of guilt and shame that dominants may experience after a scene. While it may seem surprising, these emotions are more common than one might expect and are entirely valid. Today we will delve into why dominants might feel this way, how they can handle these emotions, and how submissives can provide support when their dominant is struggling.
Dominants may experience guilt and shame for various reasons,
which can include:
Concern for their submissive: A dominant may worry about pushing their submissive too far or causing them emotional or physical distress during a scene.
Society's judgment: Social stigma and misconceptions surrounding BDSM can lead to feelings of shame, as dominants may fear judgment or discrimination.
Personal boundaries: A dominant might question whether they crossed their ethical boundaries or acted in a way that goes against their values.
Insecurity: Dominants can feel insecure about their performance, worried they did not meet their submissive's expectations.
Handling Guilt and Shame:
Self-Reflection: Dominants should take time for introspection. Reflect on the scene and the reasons behind the guilt or shame. Sometimes, these emotions are rooted in irrational fears or self-criticism.
Communication: Open and honest communication with their submissive is crucial. Sharing their feelings can help alleviate guilt and shame, as submissives often provide reassurance and understanding.
Education: Learning more about BDSM, consent, and negotiation can help dominants gain confidence in their actions and choices.
Self-compassion: Dominants should practice self-compassion, reminding themselves that mistakes can happen, and the BDSM community values continuous learning and growth.
Submissives play a vital role in helping dominants cope with post-scene guilt and shame:
Reassurance: Offer verbal reassurance to your dominant that you trust and appreciate their efforts. Let them know that their well-being and growth matter to you.
Non-judgmental listening: Create a safe space where dominants can express their feelings without fear of judgment. Encourage them to share their thoughts openly.
Educate Together: Explore BDSM resources and attend workshops together. This shared learning experience can strengthen your bond and help both parties feel more confident and secure.
Set Clear Boundaries: Establish and maintain boundaries that both parties are comfortable with. This ensures that the dominant has a clear understanding of what is expected and desired.
Remember, guilt and shame are natural emotions that can affect dominants in BDSM, and it is essential to acknowledge and address them. In doing so, dominants and submissives can grow closer, both emotionally and within their BDSM journey. Building trust and understanding in these moments of vulnerability can lead to a deeper and more fulfilling connection between dominants and submissives.
