About this user
My journey into SM play started in San Francisco in the 80s. There I found the link that connects my sexuality and my spirituality. I learned that negotiated BDSM play is a valid path to self-discovery, intimacy, hot sex and healing. In 1995 I founded the Academy of SM arts offering consultations and private guided dungeon play to couples of all sexual orientations.
Desiring to reach more individuals and couples attracted to erotic power exchange I produced my first docu-play video "The Pain Game" in 2000. The response was magical. Screened in San Francisco, Paris, New York, Amsterdam as well as many alternative film festivals, it received an award from the Society of Scientific Study of Sexuality for true depiction of loving and conscious SM .
In 2001 I created Erotic Dominance Intensive weekends for Dominant Men, Dominant Women and those who Switch. These intimate hands on workshops are offered six times a year in San Francisco.
I have been published in "Different Loving" (1993) by Gloria Brame, "Bitch Goddess" by Pat Califia (1997), "Sex Tips and Tales from Women Who Dare" by Jo-Anne Baker (2001), in "On Our Backs" and other on-line publications. Recently I am featured in "Reclaiming Eros" by Blackburn-Wade, 2007. And I write a monthly column for alt.com magazine.
