Welcome to my expanded profile, allow me to introduce myself.

I am a 40 year old female who lives in the Pacific Northwest. I also happen to be a sadomasochist. I am not a dominant, nor am I a submissive. As the screen name indicates, my sole interest in alphabet sex, aka BDSM, lies in the S and the M.

Please note, that while this page focuses on SM, it is not my sole interest. I am also a criminal defense attorney who loves politics, travel, spending time with friends and family, and being on, or in, the ocean. However, SM and my involvement in issues and activities related to SM are an important part of who I am.

A LITTLE BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Several years ago I began my explorations as a fairly hardcore bottom. However, about a few years ago my inner sadist beat the hell out of my inner masochist, so now I primarily Top. While I am not bi-sexual, I am flexible, and I enjoy creating intense sensation for others, both men and women. My definition of intense sensation are those that create pleasure through the use of painful stimuli. I would also like to point out that pain is not always neccessary to garner the responses I am seeking.

To create these sensations I use a variety of methods and implements, including SM 101 basics (floggers, whips, canes, paddles, straps, and assorterd clips and clamps) to those more commonly found in a doctor's office (as needles, scalpels, urethral sounds) as well as those with more specialized uses, such as parachute harnesses and weights. While my favorite implements remain my bare hands, needles run a close second! I do love to fingerpaint. smile

For me the bottom line is consent, and fully informed consent at that, so I only play with those competent of giving consent - adults. Furthermore, I like to play fairly hard. I am not the best person to approach if you are looking for a little spanky, a Mistress, or someone to micromanage your life. I am interested only in playing, or talking about playing, with local folks, and I consider a long distance relationship to be anything over 15 miles away. grin

VARIOUS AFFILIATIONS AND ACTIVITES

While my career keeps me fairly busy, I also like to contribute what I can to the Leather Community. The best way I have found to do this is with my time.

I am on staff with the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom as a Presenter for the Law Enforcement Outreach Program (LEOP). I give presentations on various aspects of SM and the Law at events, and for groups and organizations nationwide. If you are a member of a group or organization that would be interested in having such a presentation done, please contact either myself via e-Mail, or the NCSF (www.ncsfreedom.org)

I also volunteer my time to work as a DM for the fetish parties at the local sex positive center, The Wetspot. Another way I support the local community is by holding low cost legal clinics, where I provide such important documents as Durable Power of Attorney and Health Care Directives, as well as assist people in other legal matters, again, for a reduced rate.

So, now you know a little about who I am. If anything you read interests you, please feel free to email me at SMpurely@aol.com, or contact me through the mailroom.

A FEW WEBSITES I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE

The Tony de Blase Scholarship Fund is a worthy cause for all folks involved in alternative lifestyles to support. It was created to honor Tony de Blase, who was considered to be one of the most important people in the leather community. One of his most visible contributions is the leather pride flag he designed (pictured above) He refused to give the flag any specific meaning, leaving that up to the people to define. He will be missed. To contribute to the scholarship fund, go to: http://www.leatherdaddy.com/scholarship

Janes Guide is a guide to sexual content on the internet. Owned by the lovely Jane, and her equally lovely partner Jim, it can be found at: http://www.janesguide.com

BME is an online magazine devoted to body modification in all its magnificence. For those folks who quivered at the mention of needles and scalpels above, go check it out at: http://www.bme.freeq.com/

And while they are not at all SM related, I want to share a few of my favorite humor sites on the web.

The first is The Onion. It is a satirical magazine in the tradition of the National Lampoon. It can be found at: Http://www.theonion.com/

The second is also satirical in nature, and is called SatireWire. Nothing beats well done satire! This site can be found at: Http://www.satirewire.com/index.shtml

For good religious satire, there are two related sites that provide me with quite a bit of laughter. The first is Landover Baptist, and can be found at: http://www.landoverbaptist.com/
