Cyber collaring

That a thing right? Used to be in person only

[ma****]

Idk only works in person

[ge****]

It has been a "thing" for pretty much as long as I've been using the Internet - some of the chat rooms I used to use back in the days of mIRC and the like were literally littered with collars that had been given one minute and discarded the next.
.
Was usually signified by a Doms name with the subs name in brackets after it and then there was a difference between which bracket was used and what it meant.
.
On-line D/s is still very much a "thing" for some too - particularly where distance plays a part, or other factors prevent actual meeting - and if people find ways to make it work, and are happy with the arrangement can be very "real", so all power to them.

yeah, cyber collaring has been a thing probably around as long as the internet.

It's no more or less real than anything else.
