Hey everyone! I’m pretty new to chatting here but have been looking at these boards for a few months. I finally decided to take the plunge and make an account. It makes me wonder, what made you guys here decide to make an account?

Each woman who shared her story here helped me see that this was not an isolated quirk/flaw of mine, but an actual phenomenon worth exploring. I joined so that I could add my voice to that chorus of sanity. To encourage other young devs not to do what I did and try to lock the feelings away forever.

After too long looking from afar I was comforted that I wasn’t alone or doing anything wrong. I’d been so scared of revealing my dev side and then PD made me realise I wasn’t a freak, I was just a normal person who finds different things attractive.

I think I encountered a dev in my romantic life and neither of us knew what it meant or if it was even ok.
That relationship is over now but I wanted to see what devs were like, and if it was a sub culture that I vibed with or not.
Because certainly it would be nice for my disability to be part of what a partner likes about me, rather than is tolerating.

It makes me wonder, what made you guys here decide to make an account? Just kinda curious to learn more about the community since I kinda grew up not knowing being a dev was a thing or that there were others really. And also seeing different perspectives on it all

I wanted to meet devs and understand their perspective. I’ve grown to appreciate devs the more I accept my body. It’s nice to meet people that like my body as it is.

I’ve encountered some devs over the years and most of them are open minded and see me in a different light. It’s a refreshing perspective and that usually leads to great conversations with cool people. Figured I’d pop in and what this board is about.

What made you decide to start an account? Tell us more about yourself Well honestly I’d been coming to grips with the ethics behind being a devotee. I guess it didn’t help that any level of research takes you to the straight male devotee end of things (which I’ve noticed is notorious for objectification, violence and otherwise ill-treatment). Eventually this site came up and it gave me a sort of new perspective on being a dev. I noticed my attraction to men and my devness (not that I knew either of those words/concepts at the time) both emerged around the same time of my life in equal measure. I waisted no time coming out as gay, but I’ve kept the other thing behind closed doors. From lurking here for the past half-year or so, I’ve noticed a courteous environment that acts as a forum for the kinds of conversations and issues I’ve always shied away from. It just felt like today was the day to open up and also learn some more.

Thank you for telling us a bit more about yourself. It's always welcome to get to know members on a more personal level.
