5 Surprising Ways PTSD Affected My Relationships
It's strange to think of anyone asking for something and being surprised when asked what they'll give in return. It's a horrible issue with people my age (early 20s) and seems to be getting worse. I would think of all people, someone honestly interested in BDSM wouldn't do that. It makes me think you're right, that they just want to latch onto the fame part, and aren't actually interested in anything past that. Plus it just really irks me that it seems to be okay now to ask someone to do something very time consuming or elaborate and expect that they don't have to do anything in return.
Things like this that upset me a lot. I love to learn more about BDSM from many people I see as more experienced than I am. But I also I know that I can't just follow one person and magically be perfect at it all. I want to see all the styles, types and views.

hehee, I'd love to see the scenes in "Next Top Pro-Dom" where the contestants, having spent weeks washing and waxing your car, discover they've been building the muscles appropriate for flogging...

There's actually an organized mentorship program where volunteer mentors teach the apprentices one-on-one each month over the course of a year. As in, one mentor a month, and some group things.
They aren't everywhere, but they do exist.
I do, however, think it's very pushy for people to ask someone they don't even know to mentor them. I've kind of absorbed a mentor in another apprentice, because over these few months, I've seen her play, we've interacted, and I trust her. She teaches me things she knows from being an active Dominant for several years. It's not official, just kinda there.
