Our fabulous presenters (and even some of you) will offer the inside scoop on
M/s (Master/slave) and D/s (Dominant/submissive) relationships in their various
permutations. What is a Master (Mistress)/slave relationship? What is Dominance
and submission? What is Daddy/boy? What is Mommy/girl? What are the
similarities? What are the differences?<br>

Whether you are an experienced player in the M/s or D/s arena or would just
like to know more, please join us. This program will involve panel discussion,
audience participation and a demo or two. Who could ask for more?<br>

DJ & Mercy have been together since 1997 and in the last 12 years have seen
much change and growth in their relationship. One thing that has always been
there is an underlying foundation of D/s. First with the roles that they
naturally fell into without discussion and later in more formally discussed and
negotiated roles. Moving from NY to CA in 2000, and discovering The Exiles in
2002, was a major turning point in their lives; affording them the freedom to
share more of their own private world with the larger BDSM Community. Mommy and
little girl is a natural, loving and nurturing interaction that they both
cherish and they are thankful to now live in the Bay Area where it is so easy
to allow their true selves to shine.<br>

Note: Parking near the Women’s Bldg. is horrendous, we know. There are two
locked<br>
garages near us. One is at 21st St. between Valencia and Mission. The second is
at 16th and Hoff St. between Mission and Valencia (enter on Hoff). Of course,
even these fill up. We also suggest walking, carpooling, taking the bus, BART,
or coming early and having dinner in the area.<br>
