    And after what happened with Neil Gaiman, I have to wonder how consensual such situations like this are. In fact, I originally thought this was a Neil Gaiman reference, but he’s 64.

      I would be more hopeful to believe it was consensual was except they bragged their wife doesn’t know. I’ve been in enough situations through chats to learn people like this exist and managed to abuse others—even virtually. There can be healthy relationships in BDSM, but the community often attracts predators for a reason.

        And the people who are only online and not telling their spouse are significantly more likely to be predators. I’m not saying irl communities don’t have predators, they absolutely do, I’ve been abused by someone I met through one, but being part of irl communities means that if you get reported as an abuser (and the community comes to the conclusion that the report is valid) you can’t just change your username and show up to the same events and spaces

        Right, it was the much younger women and not telling his wife parts that made me a little concerned about how consensual the relationships are.
