BDSM Sanctuary   
Mission and Terms and Conditions

MISSION & Welcome Statement

Since 1995, Mistress Kay has been providing BDSM and fetish information and promoting BDSM related services through the Internet. In 2004, The BDSM Sanctuary was developed as a safe haven for those in the BDSM lifestyle. Be ye a novice and new to BDSM or a seasoned lifestyler, you are official welcomed into My Sanctuary. May ye find solace and companionship.

Those in the Sanctuary understand, or will come to understand, that BDSM and the principles of Gynarchy are very spiritual. The commitments that Mistress and Her slave make are far deeper than any marriage or a vanilla relationship. It is My mission of the Sanctuary to provide a spiritual outlet and community for those of U/us with this higher spiritual understanding in BDSM.

In My Domain you shall find BDSM friendly merchants that provide hand crafted custom jewelry, toys, equipment, tools, and furniture designed for the BDSM lifestyle. It is My mission to find reliable lifestylers who are also craftspeople or those who are lifestyle friendly. Each merchant must be known by Me before I will allow them audience and allow them to market in the Sanctuary.

W/we live a beautiful life. Discuss a custom art work or photography with experienced adult artisans to capture the exquisite wonder of BDSM - there is such beauty in pain - such magnificence in power - such tranquility in bondage - such intensity in torment.

The BDSM Sanctuary can provide you with information, resources, links, access to Pro-Dommes, social & private BDSM event postings, around the world Gynarchic events, training manuals and services, BDSM friendly environments listing, political and legal BDSM &/or Gynarchic information, and other resources. My subjects, My slaves, and others whom live in this elite world of BDSM share in the development of the BDSM Sanctuary. Explore My world.
