...but I don't actually see what's so disturbing about the mentor exchange site. As far as I can tell, they're only trying to falicitate meetings between mentors and people who are actively seeking them, and if people feel that they can benefit from that sort of relationship, I don't see the problem.
On the part of both; I think what these people are looking for is a kind of BDSM, but I'm pretty sure that if they saw it that way they'd look for it elsewhere...
Put it this way, if I found a page for people seeking people interested in using consensual punishments to effect desired changes of behaviour on a BDSM website, I wouldn't consider it worrying at all. Maybe it's just my bias against right-wing pro-spanking Christians...
Perhaps I'm missing something...

And I think there's more than a little self-delusion going on...
On the part of the mentors, or those seeking them?
