I'm Alone Here!

[doitb4ugo]

For the first time since I joined this forum, I looked down and saw I was the only member logged in....I feels so strange to not have other users on when I'm here. I had to make comment of it. It is 4/17/10 at 6:53 PM (EDT).

 

If I scream, will anyone here me...I think not.

Lurk (according to Encarta):

 

to move about furtively, or wait in a concealed position or a shadowy corner, especially with the intention of doing something wrong

 

to exist as an unsuspected threat or danger

 

online to read messages sent to an online discussion forum without contributing

 

Kind of scary!!!!

 

Yet I lurked for 5 years prior to joining officially... and I don't think I'm that scary... well hopefully not too scary... so there hopefully there is hope for all you lurkers out there

Gee I only lurked for about two hours. Guess I was desperate

Desperation indeed!

 

Gee I only lurked for about two hours. Guess I was desperate

Well that's why I officially joined... I became desperate!

 

I first discovered the review section and was fortunate to find my ideal escort(s) via that format. I used to lurk here on occasion to get special insights and additional information that didn't appear in the formal reviews. Meanwhile I was being happily flogged, beaten, and otherwise taken good care of... and I thought all the bliss would never end... Yes, I was walking around with that proverbial smile on my face... Then like a ton of bricks my favorite escort (no prize for guessing his name if you know my history) suddenly retired. I'll never forget the day he informed me of the fact. I felt like a lost puppy. Of course there were backup guys, but they soon after retired as well. Suddenly I was alone in the desert and lurking and did so more frequently... or to make it sound less ominous... I was a "guest".

 

I then had a bad experience... not from an S&M point of view... but a guy cheated me and evidentially had done the same to quite a few others. I saw the thread about this now long retired bozo and couldn't join fast enough to confirm that what others experienced was indeed the truth. I suddenly felt as though I was not alone... I soon found out that others, some of whom still post here, experienced the exact same feelings of loss when all the good S&M guys in NYC decided it was time for them to move on... Gee! Others had similar feelings and experiences... and furthermore, I felt that I had a support group to back me up. I recall one thread where so many guys helped me hook up with a very nice BDSM escort... and yes, the good ones are indeed nice guys. Of course, he eventually moved to LA and I was back to square one... So the rest is history... we are a bunch of guys who look out for eachother... and dare I say with some of the more recent postings here we have become a very close community and some of us have even been willing to bare their inner souls to help a fellow poster in need.
