The Women Only Party was a hit with nineteen women doing their thing.
All who attended said it was a great time. Not having been there, I can't
give you my opinion...even though I did offer to DM it. ;-)
The Men only Party was not as well attended with only seven of us there.
Only four people played. I can't really speak for anyone else, but I had
a wonderful time (being one of those who did play).
March 16 there will be another Women Only Party. You can show your support
by attending. (Having a good time would also show support!)
Coming up on April 13, there is to be a Couples Only Party. Some Tucson
Lifestyle Club members plan to attend. A couple is defined (in this case)
as two or more who come to the party together, and leave the party together.
I am not sure when the next Men Only Party will be, but if we want to keep
it going, we need to support it with our attendance.
ABOUT DESERT DOMINION We are a local pansexual, panfetish organization
and welcome everyone regardless of orientation, age (18 and above), race,
creed, religion, kink, etc. We would like to invite those who are in the
lifestyle, new to the scene or just curious about bdsm to come to our events,
meet us, socialize with us and learn with us. We are not a dating service
or sex club. We do not find partners for people. We exist to support, educate,
and socialize with one another in a safe, sane, and consensual domain. Our
members possess a variety of years of experience, of education in related
lifestyle activities, and have widely diverse interests.
FEEDBACK NEEDED! The question was raised at the last board meeting of
videotaping the seminars so that those who could not make it could still
learn from it. It was decided that we need a survey of the membership before
the board made a decision. As I understand it, only the people giving the
seminar would be shown on the tape (if they consent). Please contact either
Darkefyre at: webmaster@desertdominion.org, or Johnie at: 571-1835 or jwp_shanachie@msn.com
with your thoughts on this subject.

WHAT IS PANSEXUAL AND PANFETISH?
There seems to be a little confusion as to what the terms pansexual and panfetish
mean. Perhaps we can clear up a little of the confusion.
According to Webster's Dictionary "pan-" means all and is a combined form.
An example (given in the dictionary) would be: panacea, a universal cure.
Given this definition, pansexual would mean all sexes, and all sexual orientations.
No two of us are exactly alike in our sexual identity, gender identity, and
fetish identity. If no two snowflakes are exactly alike, how could human
beings, who are infinitely more complicated, be alike? In our diversity,
we have had to be honest with ourselves in order to know our own needs.
Then we've had to be honest with others if we were to get those needs met.
We have had to learn that no orientation whether sexual, gender, or fetish
is wrong, or less than any other. It is just the way we are. If we wish
to be accepted for who and what we are, we learn to accept others for who
and what they are, without judgment. Your needs may be different than mine,
but that does not make either of us wrong, just different.
I have been gratified to see acceptance far above that evidenced in mainstream
society. In ways, we are a much more closely-knit group than many families.
For many of us Desert Dominion is family.
Pansexual and panfetish means acceptance of people for who they are, not
what someone says they should be.
