A Leather family consists of one's Household as well as one's Leather friends, brothers, sisters and parents. It's nice...this is the family you get to choose!

Most of my sisters are in FAD (Female Artists of Domination). This is a group for and by Female Dominants and those (men and women) who serve them. You can visit and learn how to join them here: http://www.geocities.com/female_artists_of_domination/

Local groups I participate in are:
Gnosis
MAsT-Winston-Salem

And, I highly recommend Together In Leather as a Leather event for those who are looking for a more relationship/spiritual focus for a conference. (Not that the learn-how-to-X conferences aren't fantastic!)

As for my Household (half jokingly called the Nerdom, since most of the subs/slaves I am attracted to are nerds and intellectuals):

I currently have one collared submissive, pat, whom I adore. Our relationship actually has many levels. First, we are friends. Second, we are a Ds couple. pat has been there for me when others weren't. We have been together for 1 year and are what some would call "platonic" meaning we are not romantically involved. pat's actually a switch (but not to me). The details of our contract include the freedom for pat to search for (and hopefully find) a female switch with which to have a romantic, sexual relationship since we do not have that kind of relationship. Ok, so the fantasy is for us to find a female switch that will date him and the two serve me together. If not, I look forward to the day pat finds his love. While I will miss him when I uncollar him for this, I wouldn't dream of keeping someone I love from happiness.

I have one masochist submissive whom I see on an irregular basis. I also have one submissive I am training/mentoring.

Positions I am considering:

First, a few notes:
No applicants can be allergic to cats; I have 4.
No service to my husband is expected, but some may be required to have a friendly relationship with him.
I have two rules that govern all my Ds and Ms relationships:

Rule # 2: Real life and responsibilities come first. This is true on both accounts. I have a husband and career. And, I understand that most of My submissives/slaves will have lives of their own, usually.

 

Position information:

Female Submissive:
A female submissive, preferably a switch who could serve a Female Dominant (not necessarily a sexual relationship) but who WOULD have a sexual relationship with others that I choose. Predominantly, this means pat and other collared submissives I have at the time. I do not indiscriminately choose sexual partners for any of my submissive/slaves; you would have a say in it. The likelihood of me forcing you to do something you highly object to is low. you would also be a masochist, wanting marks is preferable, but a negotiable point. This would not be a live-in relationship, but if we all fit together (you, me and my Household), it would become a 24/7 collared relationship. you need not be local, but a drivable distance is certainly preferable. Close to Raleigh/Durham is the best situation. you would have to be comfortable having a friendly relationship with my husband.

Service oriented slave:
A male or female slave who truly gets joy from service. Expected services would include cooking, housework, errands, chauffeuring and attending to me (and possibly the Household) in a social setting and at Leather conferences. Knowing protocol (how to kneel, bow, serve beverages, etc.) or a desire to learn protocol is a must. Bonus services would include boot blacking (or leather care in general), extensive website skills (I can do basic HTML as you see here), pet grooming, acrylic nails, pedicures, reflexology, massage, carpentry, etc. Mostly, you should have the desire to watch and learn (or outright ask) what I like. I want someone who actively look for little things to do in order to please me. you must be within driving distance to Winston-Salem, and, if a collar is offered, seriously consider the possibility of relocation. Most likely, this would not be a live-in position (my husband and I just don't have the space right now), but a 24/7 live-close-by, certainly. In time, it may developer into a live-in, but this is with years of service. you would have to be comfortable having a friendly relationship with my husband.

Masochist:
I am a sadist and I enjoy leaving marks, although I don't often get the chance. I am looking for someone who would enjoy more intense play with whom I can explore. This would include (but may not be limited to) flogging, caning, bondage, genitorture, fire play, temporary branding, cutting and needles. This would not include anal play, scat, golden showers, 'oral service for hours' or breath play. We would begin gradually so that I can learn you as well as establish trust between the two of us. If you can make devious toys, this would be a plus!

A quick note about my husband (jokingly referred to as Mr. Fire). He knows all that I do, but remains, for the most part, vanilla. He knows of my Leather life and, though he doesn't totally understand it, he acknowledges that it is a part of me that I cannot do without.
