So, me and my sub are in an online dynamic right now. Everything is going great and we both enjoy ourselfes and the other person very much. Recently she said, she would love someone to talk about the things I do to her, but she is too shy to tell one of her friends about me and what we do. I am very okay with her wanting to talk to someone else about it and so I asked how I could help.

Her response was, as she feels too shy to do it, it would be great if I could find a subby friend for her. At first the idea sounded good to me, but after thinking about it, I don't want to "pick" a friend for her as that would probably not work out, I would also have to find the person first and I would always think about if I am just subconsciously picking someone I want to influence her in some way.

I will talk to her about that obviously, but as I did not have that experience in previous dynamics, I am curious, do many subs have a subby friend to talk to? If so, does it make sense to have someone else than "normal" friends in case the friends don't get the sub's kink? Or wouldn't it be easier to have a good friend she can already trust (and does not know me) and expand on that existing friendship?

Already thank you for your replies, and just to clarify: I want to know your insights to help me think of things that could help my sub best with this :) I will work it out with her in an open conversation, just think other's thoughts might help.
