So…
I am a DM and dutifully volunteering for play parties given both by SAADE and GWNN. SAADE only has about 30 members; GWNN has probably 300 active members. If you wanted to go to a play party, it would be a GWNN event.
Renee and I are at a GWNN play party and I was on DM duty. It was mostly the usual stuff: spankings, floggings, some rope-work here and there, and—usually—Ambrosio in some outrageously geeky outfit performing some elaborate form of torture on some enthusiastically willing young thing and screams of agony as a FemDomme pulls clothes pins off some poor guy’s testes. Actually, that FemDomme is Trainer Caroline and the poor guy’s testes belongs to clayswitch.
Anyway, at the particular moment in question, the main dungeon floor was pretty quiet, because most of us were watching some giant of a man (Davo) using an eight or ten-foot bullwhip on a teeny little girl (Beverly) who was screaming each time the whip struck her.
“Well,” I thought, as a DM on duty,“I need to get a closer view.”
So I left Renee and walked aaalllll the way ‘round the perimeter of the play space in order to get a closer look at the whipee and what was going on.
As I passed the last post before getting to the stage, a woman who was leaning against that post said: “If you interrupt Beverly’s scene, she’ll kill you.”
I stopped, of course. I turned and realized it was the lady I saw a Bamm’s party in December. I did not know her name right at that moment, but I knew that she was a club member.
We started talking.
And kept talking.
And kept talking.
We spoke for something like 20 minutes.
At the end of this time (when I should have been DMing, by the way), I separated from Brenna and ran back to Renee. Totally interrupting the in-depth discussion she was having with some Dom, I blurted out: “Did you see that! I actually spoke to that woman for 20 minutes.”
“Yes,” she said. “I’ve been watching.”
“She is looking for a flogging buddy and I’ve wanted someone to practice on. I’ve invited her for dinner on Friday, is that okay?”
Renee looked at me, then she looked at the man with whom she had been speaking, then she looked back at me as though I were daft.
“Well, of course, since you’ve already invited her.”
(NOTE: Brenna collared me six months later.)
The Book Series
Because the worlds of BDSM and Master/slave are so different, we have created two new book series:
BDSM Mastery
This series of books is the world of sado-masochistic (SM) play and Dominant/submissive (D/s) relationships. There are two books available in this series: one on play, parties, and scene protocols and the other on D/s relationships.
In my world, D/s involves a dominant and a submissive, and the submissive retains some personal rights -- where and when to work, religion, contact with friends and biological family.
Master/slave Mastery
This series of books is about authority-transfer relationships. The only book now available is a rewrite and substantial expansion of my prior book titled: Master/slave Relationships: Handbook of theory and practice.
In my world, M/s is based on service and obedience and where the slave falls on the personality scale from dominant to submissive is secondary to the slave's quality of service and obedience. Here, the "s" can easily stand for "subordinate" rather than "submissive." As in, the Colonel is subordinate (but not submissive) to the General. In my world, the "s-type" in the M/s relationship is owned property.
