Simon Blaise

Since his formal introduction into the BDSM lifestyle in 1994, Simon has been schooled in, and continues to study, various expressions and theories of BDSM, human sexuality, and the mechanics of male - female interactions on various levels. Simon is completing a book explaining the importance of basing a Master-Slave relationship on reality as opposed to fantasy. Simon is a proud member of Cirque de Sade, an established organization of respectable Masters and Mistresses who have come together to increase awareness of the BDSM lifestyle and help others express the lifestyle to its fullest potential while doing so safely.

After living a semi-private lifestyle for over a decade, Simon made the decision to become more public in hopes he could help others realize that the BDSM way of life is not about abuse, but rather, is an expression of love, care and respect that is no different than the traditional heterosexual "man and wife" or homosexual "life partners" common today. He ultimately aims to be a part of making the BDSM lifestyle more acceptable in the minds of mainstream America, on both the private and, more importantly, governmental fronts, by helping to debunk the current stereotypes that continue to plague and force BDSM lifestylers to remain in "The Closet."
