So this thought came to me when that facebook thread popped up a while back. Has anyone ever actually been outed by this site? Or anything related to this site? And by this I mean another TMF member somehow making it known to people in your non-fetish life about what you do?
I've noticed a lot of people are amazingly secretive about themselves. Some people don't use real first names, say what state they live in, no pics, don't say what type of job they have, etc.
Now, during the days of facebook and myspace when the internet was new, people basically assumed if someone found out you lived in a certain state, you were pretty much going to be kidnapped and murdered the next day. So everyone was super secretive. Now-a-days, especially with facebook around, peoples entire life is out there for other people to see including (which is absolutely creepy to me considering many people add anyone and everyone to their facebook) what physical location someone is at in real-time!
So the thing I've been wondering is why hasn't the psychology changed much when it comes to things like this? Of course a fetish is never something you're going to put on your facebook, but I'm under the assumption that people have grown up intellectually enough to realize using a real first name isn't going to be the precursor to all your friends finding out you like staring at girls feet on the train or airplane or whatever. Some people still think this way though! And I wonder why. So the first to find out is whether or not people HAVE actually been outed by this site or related sites. So has anyone had their secret spill out the website/your fetish community? Know of anyone who had it happen?
And when I say outed, I really do mean by another member. Having your laptop open and a roommate you thought was gone walking by and seeing a bunch of flashing ads with women tied down and being tickled doesn't count 🙂
