slaves, Some of my favorite people on the whole planet <smiles>. My name is Mistress Steel and this is my website. One of the first things that I like to do is offer you an opportunity. This opportunity is for you to tell me about anything and everything that is troubling you. (This doesn't mean sending me 100,000 words <grins>) but, I long ago discovered that many slaves lack the opportunity to confess deep soul secrets. So, if you have something which has been troubling you for a long time and would like the opportunity to tell someone about it - confess. This means exactly what it sounds like. Please note: if you write to me - I will probably write back and give you my viewpoint on whatever it is you decide to tell me. Sometimes what I write to you may inspire me to write a whole new article (you would be surprised how often this happens) if so, no need to worry, I remove everything which is potentially identifiable (you can see samples of my articles when you visit Steel's Private Chamber later on. I also want you to know that I will be quite direct with you, if I think you need to hear it, then you will hear it. So . . . CONFESS HERE Oh, just to clear one or two more things up. No, the rumor is wrong, I am not Anne Rice. No, I personally do not need a slave, submissive, bottom, switch, masochist or other. In my real life I am quite well attended. This means that I have a rich, full and happy life with real life subbies, slaves, bottoms, switches, masochists and others. No. I do not mentor, cyber, phone or otherwise engage in 'fantasy' S/m relationships. There, so . . .what do I do? Well, mostly I spend my days writing and thinking and doing terrible wicked things to those around me. I also do workshops, seminars and lectures on a multitude of topics ranging from sexual energetics to sensory stimulation practices. Check out my workshop section for information on how you can attend one of these workshops! If you want to know something - ask me. Not personal, heck, you might be a weird perv or deviant or something. But, if you want to know something about S/m, D/s, kink or non-kink life things - I prolly know or at least know where to look for answers. How long have I been lifestyle active? Good question - 24 years and counting. Do you need to be cautious writing to me? The answer is No. I don't walk around with a prickly ego. I do appreciate any effort on your part to use reasonably good English, spelling, grammar, those kinds of things. Frankly, I don't buy into the cyber fetish of lower case everything for slaves. The simple truth is, I like to write and this means that when people write to me with all the lower case stuff, it sorta bugs me. Be you, be honest, don't trivialize the language. ~ ~ ~ This website is designed to provide information and education opportunities and resources for people exploring questions of sexual empowerment, sexual energetics, tantric sexual and spirituality practices, altered mental states and how to use sensory stimulation practices to transform your life.
