If your mind will take you there it can be well worth it...If you are honest with your play...not only to your partner but more important to yourself.....If you are thinking about the dishes or the kids screaming or what to wear tomorrow...then no dont bother to play on-line.... If you are thinking about what your Dom says and tells you to do....and you do them and give them the proper feed back....they can alter their actions and demands to push you to your desired goal....but if you just respond as you think you are required or as they want ....then you are cheating both of you...and yeah so why bother...I had my pet while wearing nipple and clit clamps in the middle of play go find suitable materials to make her own flogger and then flog herself...she went out and bought a good leather one after that....to this day she still loves the one she made better...hehehe I dont let her play with it...I save it for special occasions....she damn near cums when I tell her to got get the materials... its not the stuff its made of ...In her mind...its that she gets to make it and if it doesnt give her the sensation she is after its because she didn't do it right...but she will tell me and I will adjust our play to compensate and assure she gets the pleasure she deserves....just my experience and thoughts take them for what they are worth use what you can and throw the rest out...Be saft and Play well
