Archelaos

Three images symbolize much of my perspective on the M/s lifestyle. They are...

1. Yin-yang
2. Phoenix
3. Dragon

Of these, Yin-Yang is the balance or complementary nature of Master and slave. If one's need is stronger than the other's...it is rare the two will succeed. The two must complement to make the whole.

The Phoenix and Dragon are often used to symbolize the balance of Yin-Yang, representing the female/male halves respectively. And it is the Phoenix, not only as a symbol of the female half, that also symbolizes rebirth such as the rebirth of each of us as we discover this deeper sense of ourselves.

To that end, I have chosen the Phoenix as the image by which I view this lifestyle, as a sign of rebirth, and the female complement to my Dragon.

============================================================

Personal Background:

I am a self-employed (incorporated, not unemployed), male dominant. I am married within a poly-triad dynamic and practice poly-fidelity. My wife is also in the lifestyle though more on its periphery. She is fully supportive, encouraging and always aware of my activities here. After all, ultimate surrender can only come from ultimate trust.

What I seek:

My search is two-fold.

1. I seek to train those subs/slaves who look to explore their depths in submission. While it may incorporate other elements of BDSM, they would be minimal other than where they might support the training of the submissive in question.
