There are a lot of good ideas on the BDSM Academy (linked from the home page to the library). You have to join to see them and that means making a committment to perform a certain number of tasks a month but you and your Dom can join and he can assign you tasks. You can always (politely) refuse any tasks offered to you by other masters on there.

If you indulge in any bondage tasks online be very careful. Make sure you always have a way out (for some this makes the whole bondage thing pointless but it cannot be helped). That means - make sure you have a spare key somewhere nearby and a knife to cut rope. It also means make sure you have a friend nearby who you can call if you get into trouble. There are a lot of self bondage sites online so do a search. Many of them seem to involve encasing the key to a pair of cuffs in ice so that you cannot use it until the ice melts.

A lot of the ideas above are good ones. Most of my online experience has been writing exercises - sharing fantasies etc with the Dom/me. Also, A dom/me can control your entire life from their own computer.

There are a few computer programs that can control a slaves life for a Dom while the Dom is away. Many of these are femdom based but there are variants for Maledom/femsub. I'd recommend Cybermistress (www.cybermistress.org I think. Do a search) as a good flexible program that currently has a female sub script in progress. It allows your Master to set out rules - what you have to ask permission for, what you are allowed and not allowed and so on - as well as deciding what you wear and so on. It assigns punishments and assignments as well. It logs all actions you take and report and sends them via e-mail to the address of your choice (your Master's e-mail address). Its designed for when a master is a long distance away or for during the day when he is out at work.
