Greetings, and welcome, to this discussion. We are here to pass along information about BDSM Groups in the Central Virginia and Richmond area.

At present there are four BDSM groups in the Greater Richmond area.

1. The Phyxios Mystique is a Pansexual adult organization for persons interested in alternative lifestyles in Virginia and the surrounding states. You must be 21 years of age or older to participate. The goal of Phyxios Mystique is to provide people practicing BDSM and related lifestyles an outlet for self expression through education, social gatherings and networking. We insist on certain rules of safety, decorum, and common etiquette. Consensuality and confidentiality are extremely important to us. Phyxios Mystique adopts and pledges to support our community's creeds: "Safe, Sane and Consensual" (SSC) as well as "Risk Acknowledged Consensual Kink" (RACK). We do not condone, suggest, or endorse any activity that is non-consensual. http://www.phyxiosmystique.com

2. Teddy Bear Leather Club:TBLC was established in January of 1991 to provide a resource for the LEATHER/SM community of central Virginia. We are an association of people who express the ideals of LEATHER/SM, each in our own way, and support each other in that expression. We hold regular meetings to discuss ideas on how to help our community, plan social events for our members and supporters, and to discuss topics of concern to our members.
3. We are a Richmond Virginia BDSM social group. We periodically hold events and "Munch" style get togethers with open and like-minded people who share a common bond within this lifestyle. We foster open discussions on D/s, M/s, relationships and other avenues of BDSM www.myspace.com/shelterrva
