I am not sure that it is fair to saddle the internet with responsibility for the rigidity of human thought. I think we have the American perversion of individualism to thank for exacerbating it though. When everyone is entitled to their own opinions, how can any be wrong? I do agree that the internet fosters a greater sense of security (and openness by extension) than we find in the physical world. I am not so sure that is necessarily a bad thing though. As repugnant, uninformed or obtuse as they may be, none of my thoughts would find reception and none of my questions, answers. I do not practice it, I do not like marks. I can see the appeal though. I generally detest being in control, it frustrates me. Suffering also brings a unique perspective to life allowing us to know happiness. I would expect you are quite the opposite?

Not putting all of it on the internet, just a theory of correlation. There's also, as Lune and I have said, the baby boomer influence that props up the cartesian ego in the culture. As for an outlet, I agree that there's positives and negatives to that. The main negative being that people do not understand rhetoric and how it works, so they fall steadfastly to their opinions. I'm more sadistic than masochistic and highly suggest De Sade and Masoch for reading. I'm a biter too. Tho' tongue flicks on the nipple and a little bit of teeth have gotten my partners pretty aroused. Oral is favorite of mine. Do you enjoy oral sex?
