Met my spouse on the vintage internet. It's called a BBS, bulletin board system. We exchanged private messages and chatted in the open forums. You can learn more about them in BBS: The Documentary. It made it possible for me to communicate without phone calls.

That's really interesting. I did know that existed. Thanks for this documentary. I'm certainly to check it out!

Thank you for this video Ali!! I felt elements of my own story validated within Spencers. I also love that he mentioned the need to filter messages from people who are genuinely interested vs interested in the fetish. I was deeply surprised by the graphic level of messages I received once I "came out" as limb different on my public social media platforms- and I feel these elements are not talked about enough!
