You didn't survive as such, you just looked at magazines and so forth, or in my case took your own photos. I was a senior engineer in a factory with 600 girls, and as I'd done photography as a hobby since I was 12, it was fairly easy to arrange for photos. The main problem for me was that I thought I was the only person in the world who liked it, and I would have been more than a little embarrassed if anyone had found out.

The strange thing was that the signs were there that other people liked l&c, I just chose to ignore it. I remember one time when I was taking photos of one girl (Maria, who was really strong) carrying her friend (who must have weighed around 140lbs) in a cradle, and this lad was saying to her "carry me next, carry me next, I only weigh 120lbs". I could have got her to do it if I'd asked, as she loved showing off her strength, but it never occurred to me that he might like being carried.

I suppose in some ways I've had it easy, since I'm not into FM carries, just FF and me carrying the girls (and I've done a lot of that)

When the internet came along and the Yahoo! groups opened and then the forerunners to this site, it was like all my Christmasses had come at once.
