Welcome

I am slave Aureus; I am into the currently recognised BDSM. 35 years ago the scene was not like it is today. There were a number of supportive publications at that time though in my experience events, which resembled closed shop parties, were transmitted by word of mouth. From a sub/slave point of view one invariable had to travel & arrive in full readiness to serve as ones first drink or permission to smoke had to be earned. About 1982 I formed Forum DSSM under the Forum Magazine & Group Umbrella. Forum Dominant Submissive Sadism Masochism was set up to help surface the scene, At the same time other groups and clubs started to form like Motivation & the Skin 2 night-club event. I was the first person to be bullwhipped in a public place in the UK that was Skin 2 in the 80's though whisking up to Sept 9th 2001. I was bullwhipped by Alex of http://www.cobrawhips.com @ Bristol Fetish Emporium and more recently by Victor Tella of http://www.snakewhip.com on Dec 8th 2001. The world BDSM / DSSM scenes should be of a consensual nature. Though it may seem heavy to be bullwhipped but for me it is not, this is partly because I learned to submit to the bullwhip 22 years ago in a non-consensual format and drove me to seeking out the DSSM / BDSM lifestyles though that is another story. In my scene life I have appeared in some scene magazines & some films, had articles written, pictures taken and many of my whippings witnessed by friends, enthusiasts and admirers. I have lived in close 24/7 type relationships though for me they are not as fully functional, but that might be because of my Master /slave indoctrination equally I have only had 3 bullwhip Masters in my life that have been able fly bullwhips. Though I have had other Masters during my scene life over the last 20 years and have not been far from the scene during that time. Once many years ago I wrote an article for the Privilege club newsletter no. 15 that remarked about "silence under the bullwhip". In Newsletter 16 a member wrote an article expressing doubts to this. So my Master of that time invited him along to the next training session. In newsletter no. 18 we saw an article by this member titled " A Sceptic repents " with a retraction of his doubts.

I have tried to live my life to the full, truth & honour are very important aspects to me and I have tried to live to this code.
