Our v/t names are Lord of the Manor and Lotm's venus Welcome to our pages and we hope that you will enjoy your visit and come back often.   BDSM is many things to many people from the experienced to the neophytes. Each of us finds our own way as we experience the new and revisit the past. We develop our own styles and form our own opinions. Yet, in each of us is the desire, the yearning to explore. To touch and be touched as only this lifestyle can provide in its own unique way. Granted, it is not for everyone, but, for those of us that have chosen this path, it is one filled with the wonderment of giving and receiving unlike any other relationship. We only ask that should you chose to venture into this lifestyle that you always keep it safe, sane and consensual in all aspects and remain focused in all that you do. His words   I began as a 24/7 slave to a Mistress and her female slave in the mid 80's in the San Francisco area. For two years it was a time of learning and a time of enlightenment. A part of me that had remained hidden was exposed for all to see. Each day was a new experience for me and each day I only craved more. Many years have passed since that time and my involvement in the scene continued to grow over the years. Since that time, I have been a Master to three rt female slaves and am now the Master and Owner of venus. This part of me is rooted in my past. Not of this lifetime but of the ancients. A knowing of past times and the touching of these as each dawn breaks.     My heart and soul in this lifestyle are rooted in the past. It is more spiritual to me rather than a cut and dried lifestyle as many experience or live. Whether Dom or slave, it is a revisiting of the past even if not in this lifetime. I know that this might sound odd in respect to most, but for me, it is who I am. I am deeply rooted in the past in my being with regards to this lifestyle. A deep sense of knowing, of presence of all that I am. Each path taken, each bend in the road a yearning to touch and be touched.     Now, I find myself in the here and now; more complete than I have ever been. For the circle has remained unbroken and within stand my mate and I. She is the one you find here with me, the one who has once shared my past and now the present. The one who will share all of the tomorrows from this day onward. Whether called a soul mate or another name, it is the joining of two. Completing the other in all that we do. A joining of hands with fingers laced entering a corridor of doors that possess countless rooms. The touch of each knob a place visited once more. For in each place we stand together once again, mated for eternity. ONE Always and Forever   To Be a Master     A Master's utmost responsibility is safe, sane and consensual Domination. At the beginning of any D/s relationship, there is the first foundation of trust. It comes through sharing and caring. It is upon this foundation that all else rises. As a Master, I want to know as much as possible about the submissive or slave. I want to know their wants, needs, desires and limitations. With this knowledge, I can understand the slave and begin the nurturing process of their submission to me. My hand will guide them as my mind will teach them. It becomes a myriad of paths upon a journey between the slave and myself. Each step is taken with care as each path is filled with wonderment for both upon the journey.   To Be the Master and Owner of venus     I have met many along the way in my years in the scene but have not met one quite like venus. Her submission is complete in every way. She keeps her fiery spirit alive while understanding what it means to be a slave to me. Her loyalty and respect are ever-present as is her love and devotion to me. Her screams of pain and of pleasure come from within in their giving to me, to my hand, to my mind. Her words and thoughts along with all that she gives and shares are from the heart and soul. I will always love and cherish all that she is and all that she will become upon our journey together. Her words I was introduced to the lifestyle early in my adult life, in the beginning 80's in Europe. Mentored by an experienced Master, as I learned techniques and began my journey into the world of BDSM. A new vista had opened up for me; life long desires and feelings finally had a name. A place I could explore and be myself, filled with acceptance and respect. Each new experience, each new horizon was a thrill and became a marker on my continuing path. Within a year I became Mistress to a male slave , who later was joined by two female slaves in my service. They served me faithfully and devotedly for three years. These have been followed by others since my coming to the USA. I have been blessed by those which have served me in the past and who serve me now. Each of them has enriched my life and brought a new facet to all that which is me. Immigrating to the states in the mid 80's opened other doors. The scene here so different from what I was used to in Europe. Much more underground, much more repressed in many ways. However also tightly knit, due to the societal oppression. For many years now I have been active in the lifestyle and continued to learn and grow. I had the good fortune to meet many which I now call friends and which have touched my life in a myriad of ways. The core of my whole being is wrapped in this way of life. For me too, much of this is rooted in the past. Ancient memories, some clear, some veiled by the mist of time are my constant companions on this journey. A journey that has spanned many lifetimes and has filled my heart and soul, given me purpose and often given me sustenance when the adversities in life had to be overcome. It has filled me with a deep sense of all that I am and with a wonder at the human spirit. Again in this lifetime I have found him, who was and is my mate through the ages. A rediscovery that has expanded my path in this life and has brought my being full circle once more. I too am a S/switch now, enjoy both sides of the coin and in doing so have found a fulfillment that has until now been only remembered in vague and distant memories. I am once more complete with him. Our circle once more unbroken and infinite. The corridor of our souls travelled together and each door leading us to a place we have once visited and will visit again. Together, joined hand in hand, never again alone. Our love the single flame that holds within it all that we are. ONE Always and Forever
