&lt;br/&gt;Tell us about it!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I had the great privilege to be caned by someone I really enjoy playing with last night.  He caned the front of my thighs with a fairly thick black plastic cane.  Delrin, I think?  It was *so* wonderful and intense.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Anyone else?

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;What was your introduction to caning? Mine was unintentional, actually. In college, my photography teacher had a flexible pointer (a cane for all intents and purposes) with which he would point at slides and lecture. He was late for class one day and I picked it up, began to whip it up and down, and accidentally got myself across the left thigh. Ooooh...three seconds later....WOW! Thanks, Professor Greule!&lt;/div&gt;

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;So last night i received a birthday caning. My birthday isn't until next week, but the caning came early. Without trying to explain to you the significance of the number, know it was decided that i would be taking 88 strokes. 
&lt;br/&gt;(and no, i won't be turning 87 next week...*wink*) 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So 88 strokes... 88 deliciously wicked thwacks with the long, heavy rattan cane. All told i'd say they were delivered in approximately 20 minutes. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;There were three things i found to be noteworthy about the caning... 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;1. His pacing. He chose to hit me in groups of eleven. ~(oh, for those that don't know, i count and thank Him for each stroke)~ First, i love grouping. Not only does it help me count, it helps me stay focused and it gives me little auxiliary goals to concentrate on... which in turn help me get to the big main goal. Second, eleven seemed the perfect number for each set. He's used many different amounts for sets before... this was the first time He's chosen eleven... and for some reason, it felt just right to me... not too many, nor too few. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Pacing is a big factor for me. The quicker the succession of strokes, the more challenging it is to keep my breathing steady and my counting audible and my position maintained. Too much time between strokes, and i start to lose focus... my mind usually wandering to what i anticipate will happen once the caning is finished and i get to show Him my gratitude. Therefore, pacing plays an important role in our caning sessions. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;2. His hands. He touched me a lot throughout the 88. Mostly between sets of eleven, though not exclusively so. And i want to be clear about the quality of His touch. It wasn't that He was caressing the inflamed flesh (although it certainly translated as such)... no, what i mean is that the intention i felt behind His touch was more of an exploratory nature. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;He was feeling for Himself, not in order to comfort me. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Which in turn, comforted me. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This is an important distinction for me because i don't like a lot of 'lovey dovey touchy feely' mixed with my pain. However, i thoroughly enjoyed a lot of "oh, look at that mark!... or... feel the heat from that stroke radiate!" - which is what His hands on me felt like. i don't know that those were His thoughts, it's just how i received it. And for me, because of my nature, i am more comforted by His caressing me for His pleasure than i am by His caressing me for mine. (if that makes sense) 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;3. And last but not least... there was something that i didn't like so much about last night's beating. Quite often He would deliver a strike only to leave the cane resting upon the very spot He had just impacted. i found this to increase the difficulty of absorbing the stroke. It made the cut linger longer than it would otherwise, and it almost seemed to block the spot from my breath. Not sure how to word this in a way that it will be clearly understood... let me see here... 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So i'm not much of a toucher, i don't reach my hands back to touch the pain and rub the wound. Instead i meet the pain with my breath. i like to stretch a bit, breathe into the agony, bounce my knees, and let the sensation wash over me. What i found last night was by having the cane resting on top of the location of immediate impact, i was challenged to breathe into the stroke. In fact, at a few points i had to fight the urge to buck the cane off my bum. (something that would have undoubtedly cost me more strokes... more, nastier, fiercer strokes) What it made me realize is that the couple seconds between strokes in which i am counting and thanking Him, that's when i embrace the searing pain and having the cane resting on the traumatized flesh seems to mask that quality of time. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It's an interesting idea, one that i have perhaps not yet constructed well enough to express quite what i mean. i'll get back to you all on this... as my processing continues. :) 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Oh... and i know i said there were 3 but i thought of one more... 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;4. His commands. Now, obviously as His sub, i live for His commands... however what i am referring to here are commands given in the form of a statement as opposed to an order. Instead of Him telling me to keep my toes on the ground... He told me that my toes would remain on the ground. In a way it makes it easier to follow whatever the order may be. If He states it as a fact, then it becomes truth. Whereas if He poses it as an order, it implies that the choice is mine whether to comply or not. Now of course His commanding me in this way doesn't at all diminish, nor eliminate, my choice of compliance. All it does (for me at least) is make it that much easier for me to obey. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Ok, sorry about the wordiness and exaggerated length of this post. i just wanted to share my experience, and give a voice to those things that i found to be (as i said before) noteworthy components to my most recent caning. i appreciate you reading this and i welcome any and all feedback, opinions, thoughts, reactions, questions, personal accounts, and/or responses. 
&lt;br/&gt;Who knows, this might even spur a discussion. :) 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;cheers! 
&lt;br/&gt;spankee 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;(thank You for letting me share this with the group Sir... *smooch*)&lt;/div&gt;

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;Years past, there was a very well-known whips class that went on weekly at the Circus Center in San Francisco.  For various reasons, the class eventually ended.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I'm quite pleased to be able to announce that a new version of the whips class is starting up again this coming March 6th.  I'll be running it as a peer workshop rather than a class, although I'll be asking various people with good whips skills to come by from time to time.  It will be held on the first and the third Thursdays of each month, in the same location as the old one, at 755 Frederick in SF (at Golden Gate Park, and by the Haight-Ashbury district.)  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This will be a general-purpose whips workshop, not something solely intended at dungeon play techniques.  Dungeon whips are welcome, as are long bullwhips.  One of the charms of using this space is that it's in a gym environment, which means even a 14 foot bullwhip won't get tangled in the ceiling.  However, since the space is vanilla, we won't be emphasizing any particular end-use for the skills we're practicing...  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The best way to get more information is from my Web page (http://www.laughingbear.org/whippery.html), and to join the tribe on Tribe.net (Grizzly's Bullwhips by the Bay, or http://tribes.tribe.net/bullwhipsbythebay).  I'd also appreciate being emailed an email address, since if tribe is down, the only way to get last-minute info out is by standard email list postings.

Tired of the fake and just plain nasty people which overrun many of the free lifestyle sites, we decided to set up a site with more of a community feel to it. While there are dating functions to the site, that is not it's strength or primary focus. We don't charge our members, nor do we have any intention to. We remember the good old days of the Usenet groups, where people freely exchanged their interests and information, and we remember why that was good. We're looking to network and exchange members and information with other online communities, such as the various lifestyle Tribes, as well as local groups from all over. We're hoping to share a friendly, educational and fun experience with other lifestyler's from around the world, and would love to hear from you as well. If anyone would be interested in working on areas of exchange, such as informational articles, local or online gatherings and events, or any other creative ways of networking, we would love to hear your ideas. If you'd like to stop by and say hello, our website is located at:

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;When i want new canes I go to the caning shop in Berkeley and buy stripped and raw cane by the foot, http://www.caningshop.com/. Just don't let them bend it too much to get it out the door. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Cut the desired length. Whittle the any sharp bits and round the ends, add a touch of sand paper and a good sealant. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;If that's too much work buy some from the local makers or shops.

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;The pix in the album got me thinking about something I've been wondering about for a while.  When I was new, I remember learning something to the effect that one shouldn't strike areas that are bruised, but look for fresh territory.  I always thought of this in terms of subsequent play sessions and bruises that are already starting to age, but I'm wondering how this idea plays out with fresh ones, in the same play session.  If the sub's bottom is starting to turn purple already, but you're still playing, obviously there is already vessel damage, but the blood may not yet have had time to coagulate, so I don't know if there is still the same potential risk of clotting.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So, my question  is, is it OK to keep hitting fresh bruises, which it looks like the top has done in many pictures one sees online, including these, or not?  Are the risks the same?  Does anyone know anything further about this - ideally some solid medical information?

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It has some great qualities.. 1. thicker diameter than cane so does not cut 2. light weight so does not bruise (welt yes)3. Excellent control and accuracy.

One of my photographer's had bamboo growing fresh in his backyard and had excess that he'd cut down which my Dom was more than willing to bring home with us. So because of that, let me just say, I'm not particularly looking forward to becoming aquainted with them because I have a feeling they're going to be reserved for "SEVERE" punishment verses enjoyable discipline.

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;I just started a new tribe called BDSM Tribe Pointers specifically to provide a listing of all BDSM-related and other sexually explicit/alternative lifestyle-related tribes on Tribe.net.  This is not a discussion tribe, just a listing of names and urls for other tribes.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It looks as if we're going to have to make our tribes private in order to survive the new Tribe Terms of Service and continue to operate.  Private tribes do not show up on searches, so it's going to be difficult for new Tribe members to find us if they want to.  Hopefully, at least this tribe will be able to remain public so that anyone looking for BDSM content will find it, and subsequently be able to find the rest of our tribes.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The url is  http://tribes.tribe.net/BDSMTribePointers
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Please spread the word; there's not even any way to post a listing about this any more without putting it into a regular category, which is just about guaranteed to get it deleted.

&lt;br/&gt;Mistress Reba at SF Citadel
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;Pretty in Pink or Red:  Corporal Punishment
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;Tuesday November 29th 8-10PM (doors open at 7:30)
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;Even at Fall's end you can see colors change.  See male and female bottoms turn glorious shades of pink and then red, receive lovely stripes from the cane, and develop fabulous fig hues from a paddle or strap.  Add a flogging demonstration, a bit of face slapping and (of course) some safety tips and this should set you on your way to becoming the pain-player you've always dreamed of.  Admission: $20
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;Reba idenitifies as a compassionate sadist.  A Society of Janus officer and a private player for over 15 years, she also works as a professional dominant.  Find out more at www.MistressReba.com

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;So, no...this mark was not from a cane, but a cane could leave a similar type mark.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I was hit with a dressage whip.  It is fiberglass, like a thin cane, smaller than a #2 pencil.  Attached on the end is about 4 inches of nylon cording that frays a bit at the end.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I have had a mark on my ass cheek from a stroke with this whip for WELL over 8 months and am curious if anyone has detailed info on how this mark has stayed so long.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It did not break the skin when applied.  It of course turned into a welt, but the mark left behind is extremely detailed.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;You can see where the fiberglass part hit, then a thicker little section where the cord attached over the fiberglass, then thinning back down to the size of the nylon cord.  You can even see the imprint of the frayed part of the cord.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It is a raised area that is light pinkish purple color.  I am looking specifically for detailed info on how a stroke like this can stay for so long without breaking skin.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Thanks!

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;Committment verse sex? What's the difference and who's to say that it's right or wrong? 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Even if it's decided up front that it's cool to have an open relationship and bring people into it on the side or smack dab in the middle, is it worth it in the long run?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;What if you decide up front that the person you're with it's a long term companion so you don't care about these decisions, but then it turns out that you fall deeply in love and find a jealousy issue you're feeling urging its way up inside you?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;What you do; what do say to the other person? 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Do you even tell people up front that you don't want to pursue a serious relationship? What if that changes after you've been with your partner for awhile? 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It's happened to me, and I didn't know what to do. I've been on both sides of the equation, and I still don't have the answers. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Here's my profile if you're interested:

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;Hello All! 
&lt;br/&gt;  A few weeks ago one of my friends bragged about breaking a cane over someone's butt.
&lt;br/&gt;  I have never broken a cane in a scene and I have given some pretty darn hard canings. So what is it that causes canes to snap?
&lt;br/&gt;  My thinking is that unless you bend the cane beyond its maximum flexibility failure should only happen after extended use. 
&lt;br/&gt;Any thoughts - anecdotes, anyone want to brag about dramatic in-scene equipment failure?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Thanks - Phil&lt;/div&gt;

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;Caners and canees,
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;i have been wondering lately about positions... which are the most preferred for receiving the cane and also for wielding the cane?  Now obviously this will come down to personal preference and so i would like to conduct a very unofficial poll of our fabulous tribe here, in the hopes a discussion on positioning will arise...
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;As a caner, what position do you prefer to have your recipient in?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;And for the canees, what position do you prefer to feel the cane in?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;* i am partial to being bent over something... the bed, a spanking horse, a table, anything i can rest my hips on.  However, i have recently felt the joys of being fully bent at the waist and holding my ankles... and i must say, it is growing on me! : )
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;cheers!
&lt;br/&gt;spankee

&lt;br/&gt;What might be your favorite or preferred size or material of a cane...small...thick, thin, textured, rattan, willow, etc...etc...etc...etc...
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Yesterday I had the lovely opportunity of experiencing a thicker one...which didn't quite have the stingy sensation like the thinner one's do...Had a more thuddy centralized sensation to it...mmmmmmmmmm......
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;and a textured one...well...mmmm...most evil indeed...hee hee...
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;soooo many different variations...so what do ya'll think...

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I am delurking for a moment to ask if anyone has ever used canes over needles.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;My Sir has used something more dowel-like than cane-like on top of needles, but i am wondering if anyone has used/experienced anything more like a traditional crook handled cane.  If so, any technical issues to look out for, such as the needles catching in the cane? If not, anyone wann go first?! =)

&lt;br/&gt;We're going to have an even bigger dungeon than last year and the guys are building more new equipment. There'll be more room for workshops, too, and the vendor area will be spiffed up for socializing and toy demos. Last year we had a lot of fun during the pre-party events, so that's on the schedule again. And new this year -- community discussion forums during the lunch breaks, for a chance to meet and trade views with presenters and attendees.

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;During a trip to England a few weeks ago, I visited the equestrian department at Harrod's in search of the perfect matched pair of riding crops.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;While I was there, I discovered the most interesting cane-- it's about the thickness of my little finger, and is covered in leather.  The best picture I can find is about a thired of the way down this page:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;http://www.cleesaddlery.co.uk/acatalog/Shires_Whips.html
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Mine has chrome tips, and is shown at the bottom of this page:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;http://www.showclass.com/rider.htm
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I took this out on its maiden voyage recently, and it was wonderful!  It feels and handles more like an acrylic cane than a rattan one, but it's a bit more flexible than acrylic.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I've spent a lot of time with Google, and the only sites that sell them are in the UK.  I don't know enough about horse shoes to know for sure, but my guess is that they're used in British but not American shows.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Has anyone seen these?  Know of a US source?&lt;/div&gt;

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;So clearly the cane when administered to the behind is a topic already well covered by this tribe.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I have been enjoying using the cane as tool for teasing recently and was curious to hear other members thoughts on this topic.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I have used both the tip and the bole for caressing, sliding between lips (of both sorts), probing the anus, tapping all parts of the body. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Some of the things that I am liking about the cane for these purposes are:
&lt;br/&gt;-It can be deftly and swiftly moved to different parts of the body
&lt;br/&gt;-It has different surfaces to cause different sensations (ie the smooth length of the shaft versus the rounded tip)
&lt;br/&gt;-It's wickedness when applied with speed or strength causes there to be tension even when gently applied
&lt;br/&gt;-I like swords and to me a cane is decidedly swordlike in it's demeanor 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I am interested to hear the thoughts of others on this topic from both the top and bottom perspectives.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This is a great tribe by the way, thanks for starting it!&lt;/div&gt;

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;So last weekend I did (topped) some play that involved lots of caning, as well as paddles, crops, and a few other goodies.  I tend to do sensuous caning with lots and lots of repetitive lighter strokes that build up over time, rather than "six of the finest" style, though by the end of the scene I was working pretty hard.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;When I was done, my wrist was killing me!  Even now, several days later, it's still sore.  I've done the ice/ibuprofen/splint thing, and it's getting better, but I'd rather avoid the problem altogether if I can.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I'm more or less ambidextrous with floggers and singletails, and while I could switch hands with the canes for a bit I didn't feel like I had sufficient control to really finesse the strokes.  I suppose that practice would improve that, but I would probably just be transferring the problem from one hand to the other.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Anybody have tips for saving your wrist while caning?&lt;/div&gt;

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;Greetings,
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The author is unknown, hope you enjoy this!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Happy Holidays,
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;~c~
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the domain,
&lt;br/&gt;Not a subbie was stirring, (they were tied down with chain)
&lt;br/&gt;The shackles were hung by the chimney with care,
&lt;br/&gt;And the St. Andrews cross stood empty and bare.
&lt;br/&gt;The subbies were nestled all snug in their beds,
&lt;br/&gt;While visions of floggers danced in their heads;
&lt;br/&gt;The Dom in his leather, and I in my slave cap,
&lt;br/&gt;Had just settled down after getting our whacks.
&lt;br/&gt;When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
&lt;br/&gt;I crept from the bed to see what was the matter.
&lt;br/&gt;Away to the window I flew very quickly.
&lt;br/&gt;Tripped over some handcuffs and cursed soft and thickly.
&lt;br/&gt;The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
&lt;br/&gt;Gave the luster of mid-day to objects below,
&lt;br/&gt;When, what to my sleep-crusted eyes should unfurl,
&lt;br/&gt;But a miniature sleigh, pulled by eight pony girls.
&lt;br/&gt;With a Dominant driver, so forbidding and stern,
&lt;br/&gt;I knew in a moment I'd a great deal to learn.
&lt;br/&gt;More rapid than eagles his pony girls came,
&lt;br/&gt;And he whipped them, and shouted, and called them by name;
&lt;br/&gt;"Now, dashslave! now, danceslave! now, pranceslave and switch!
&lt;br/&gt;On, subbie! on slavegirl! on, slavepet and bitch!
&lt;br/&gt;To the top of the porch! to the training room wall!
&lt;br/&gt;And I'll redden your bottoms, should one of you fall!
&lt;br/&gt;As terrified tears before the cat-o-nine flow,
&lt;br/&gt;When they meet with an obstacle, gather courage and go,
&lt;br/&gt;So up to the house-top the pony girls flew,
&lt;br/&gt;With the sleigh full of sex toys, and the Dominant too.
&lt;br/&gt;And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
&lt;br/&gt;The prancing and pawing of pony girl boots.
&lt;br/&gt;As I drew in my head with a sense of forbode,
&lt;br/&gt;In through the front door the Dominant strode.
&lt;br/&gt;He was dressed all in black, from his head to his feet,
&lt;br/&gt;And his clothes were all studded, leathered and neat.
&lt;br/&gt;A bundle of sex toys he had flung on his back,
&lt;br/&gt;And he looked very menacing opening his pack.
&lt;br/&gt;His eyes, they were hard with a definite glower
&lt;br/&gt;His countenance cold, and I quite felt his power.
&lt;br/&gt;His sternly set mouth bespoke no reprieve,
&lt;br/&gt;For the unlucky subbie who caused him to grieve.
&lt;br/&gt;The goatee he sported lent a devilish air,
&lt;br/&gt;As did the slight spatter of gray in his hair.
&lt;br/&gt;He had strong pectorals and a muscular torso.
&lt;br/&gt;That hardened and flexed and gave force to each blow.
&lt;br/&gt;He was lean, stern and fit, quite the Dom of my dreams,
&lt;br/&gt;And I wanted to serve him, so went down on my knees.
&lt;br/&gt;He looked down upon me, with a turn of his head,
&lt;br/&gt;He made my soul tremble while my heart filled with dread;
&lt;br/&gt;He spoke not a word, but put me straight to work,
&lt;br/&gt;He watched me in silence, idly tapping his quirt.
&lt;br/&gt;"Heel me," he commanded, the lone words he would say,
&lt;br/&gt;And he stalked out the door as I rushed to obey.
&lt;br/&gt;He sprang to his sleigh, to his team cracked the whip,
&lt;br/&gt;Pulled me 'cross his knee, where i hung scared and limp.
&lt;br/&gt;And he whispered to me, "I shall teach you a lesson.
&lt;br/&gt;Happy Christmas, new slave; tonight we shall session."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Bondage is Knot for Everyone

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;Hello All 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Please forgive this cross posting if you get this more than once - as I am trying to reach as many folks as I can.   Please feel free to send this to other interested parties that you may know.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We certainly have enough interest to ramp up to make this event happen.  Best guess is that it will be in Feb. and in San Francisco - providing we land a great venue and have enough attendees. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We will be able to do this event with between 30 - 35 people - may squeeze a bit more.  So if you are at all interested - here's what I need to go to the next step.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Cut and paste the below questions into an email - and send your responses directly to me.  I'll be getting in contact with everyone once I get the first feedback.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Best!
&lt;br/&gt;Janyce Engan
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Hi - 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Here is the first info that I need back to start the ball rolling.  The event will probably be in SF in Feb. 2005.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;If you are interested in participating - drop me a return note with your info.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Best

&lt;br/&gt;BDSM MURDER
&lt;br/&gt;MYSTERY NIGHT
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Name:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Contact email:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Please answer the following:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I would like to be:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;1. Innocent --  Tell me nothing about the plot - I want to attend and be totally surprised at what transpires.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;2. Pawn --  I don't want to know anything about the plot - but I am willing to do a pre-set "bit" at a certain time during the event in order to move things along.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;3. Minion -- I gotta know what happens - I want to be in the thick of it - as a prime mover and shaker during the event.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;4. Evil Villain -  As well as participating in the event -  I want to help be in charge by organizing, making props, or other tasks.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Persuasion:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;During the event I would like to be:  (top, bottom, slave, dom - etc.)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;My second and third choices to be:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;I would prefer to attend without participating directly in BDSM play.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Any other skills or abilities you might possibly like to showcase at the event?  &lt;/div&gt;

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;Hello A/all, 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;i am an owned 24/7 APE (Absolute Power Exchange) slave girl. (i know that can sound very odd if you are not familiar with the Master/slave dynamic). But my Master (Whom i love deeply) is also my Owner.  i have lost a great deal of weight but still have a long way to go. i have a hard time at times with the fact that my Master/Owner prefers tiny women including small boobs. (i have large ones 44D down from the weight loss from 48DD. They were always an asset and sometimes it is hard on me knowing larger breasts are not His preference either. :( 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;i work out 6 days a week and even host a (weekly) fitness show on a local TV station and although i have lost over 200 lbs over the last 2 years, i am yet (unfortunately) still a BBW. (i am pretty cute though *wink &amp;amp; smile* :) lol...  my Master is currently helping me to resculpt my body through psychological direction, diet, exercise and soon plastic reconstructive surgery (tummy tuck and boob lift :) When my body is ready,  i will be used as His toy for His pleasure with Whomever and however He chooses of me. i am a very sexually driven slave girl who's priority in life is to be all her Master desires and requires of her and to please HIM, my Lord/Master/Owner fully and completely without limits.   
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;i love my Master very very much and know He loves me also and that keeps me going. my desire to please Him in all things and ways is extremely strong and i crave so much in Him. It is difficult for me at times knowing until i lose the rest of the weight and become much smaller and more toned, i cannot fully please my Master. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;i always went for the big burly guys lol. my Master is 5'7" and very different from what i always went for (as i am for Him in many ways also.) But i love Him far far more &amp;amp; more deeply than any Man i have ever known. It is difficult to even explain all i feel for my Master (He is the love of my life. :) He is an amazing Man/Master &amp;amp; Owner in so many ways and on many different levels and i am very thankful to be His. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;i look forward to getting to know Y/you better and enjoy the board. :) 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Hello &amp;amp; Blessings to A/all,

&lt;br/&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;p.s.s. - diamond waves to her sis "celticfirestorm" :)&lt;/div&gt;
