Dominance is guiding another to feel emotions unimagined, joys never before thought possible and affection without measure.

Submission is a gift that must be earned through passion and compassion; it can be given, but never taken.

Helping my partner to let go completely, accepting only her very best.

The energy of the moment is everything.

To make love to her with a single caress, to feel her heart beat from across the room, to know her thoughts by looking in her eyes...

I will settle for nothing less, and neither should you.

Inside The Manor you will find the atmosphere to be a relaxed BDSM chat room where you will encounter many people with different views on BDSM and the Total Power Exchange ( TPE ). The Manor is a safe haven for those that are open minded or curious, to enter without fear of being judged.

BDSM stands for "bondage and discipline, domination and submission, and sadism and masochism"and describes a form of human sexual behaviour involving amongst other things sexual sado-masochism in a context that is sometimes referred to as SSC (safe, sane and consensual) though others prefer Risk Aware Consensual Kink. That is to say, BDSM is not sexual abuse, which is non-consensual.

Those that are NOT involved in the BDSM lifestyle ( Vanilla - slang for things that are not "kinky" or not related to sexual Dominance and submission ) are welcome to come in and explore, we do however ask that you respect those within. While you may not agree with ones personal choices please keep it to yourself. RESPECT is a must in this room or you will be asked to leave. Remember there is a difference between curiousity and blatant insult. Choose your words carefully and be intelligent in your conversations.

We ask that you remember NOT to automatically think that any uncollared submissive are here to serve any Dominant. If you ask the submissive and they decline then please respect that. This is NOT gor, there will be NO forcing. BDSM is SSC = Safe, Sane, and Consensual, that will be upheld.




BDSM activities are described as "play" in BDSM terminology. The BDSM term is a portmanteau acronym intended to take in all of the following activities:

* "Bondage and Discipline" play (B & D)
* Domination_and_Submission and Submission play (D & S) (including "master and slave" role-playing scenarios)
* Sadomasochism (S & M)



Some BDSM terminology:

* top
* bottom
* submissive (sub)
* dominant (dom) (also dominatrix)
* switch
* safeword
* fetishism
* paraphilia
* edgeplay
* handkerchief codes
* servitude
* collared
* collaring
* Risk-aware consensual kink - Risk Aware Consensual Kink
* SSC - Safe, Sane and Consensual

Note that it's common to begin dominant terms with an upper case, for example: Top, Master, Dom etc'.
