I’ve been corresponding lately with a woman who is seeking a dominant partner, a search that has thus far met without success.

Here in the Seattle area we have a large and vibrant bdsm scene, poly scene, and for those who are into it, swinger scene. Meeting amazing and wonderful people is not difficult and one has the ability to live a life surrounded by kinky friends.

My correspondent lives in one of our least populated areas. She is hours from the nearest small city, many hours from the nearest large city. Her ability to meet kinky people is hampered to a horrible extent, and her search for the perfect dominant will be a difficult one indeed.

As years pass we start taking for granted the fact that we live within this vibrant area, live within a community that celebrates diversity, a community large enough that people of all interests abound. Others are not nearly so lucky; my correspondent has reminded me to not take Seattle for granted.
