Of course, the vast majority of people who POST here DO go out dressed, making it appear that most all CDers either want to get out of the closet or will want to eventually if they have not already.
Question: Do you foresee having a SO who might want to join this forum one day, and do you anticipate issues when she reads posts that do not mirror your situation?

If this is the case you will simply need to explain to her how vast is this community, and where you fit into it. You can also explain that many members who do want to go out use this forum to learn all about the "how-tos" and this is why there are so many going out threads. There are also many other members who are in the process of figuring out what all of this means to them, which accounts for a large chunk of the posts. Also, don't forget the members for whom this forum is one of their only outlets for expression.

If someone only dresses for 5-10 minutes at a time, a few times per month, they will not be interested in posting so much here, so they will rather be a part of the relatively silent majority?
