Mission Statement

Exploring BDSM within a supportive group frees us from guilt, shame and the shackles of conventional sexuality. We each share the responsibility to support the group by attending meetings and parties. And we each accept the other’s tastes, experience levels and personal differences to make it work.

We are free to play anyway we choose, and with whomever we choose, without judgment or interference from other members. We envision another members adherence to Safe, Sane and Consensual play not in relation to our own particular tastes, but within the framework of the broad and inclusive blanket that encompasses all of the BDSM community. In broadening our horizons we often broaden our play as well.

We are each free as members to sponsor, and thus make a member, anyone they choose to invite to the group. Together as a group, we accept on faith that the sponsoring member is conscientious in their choice and they will orientate the new member in our traditions. We have not seen this fail yet.

We enjoy the freedom of a loose, largely unstructured organization where everyone has a voice and a vote. With as much patience and tolerance as we can muster, we strive (and even succeed sometimes) to self govern through the often-messy business of rule by consensus. 

We are free of power politics and retain no leaders. For that distinct pleasure, we remember that each member, no matter how long in tenure, has one equal voice amongst us.

We remain free of financial argument and entanglements by keeping no treasury. We rely on our wits and our fellow members to share the costs equally and honestly for whatever we do.

We are free from disciplinary committees, and indeed have no procedures for what would even constitute misbehavior. We rely on each individual through their conscience, sense of decency, and fair play to resolve differences with fellow members in and adult and responsible manner. We are all adult enough to know conflict, even strong conflict, can and does exist amongst us. We are each individually responsible for the civility and judgment that can either resolve it, or at very least, put it aside as it pertains to the mission of the group.
