Founded in 1981 by Dorothy Allison and Jo Arnone, the Lesbian Sex Mafia (LSM) is the oldest continuously running womens BDSM support and education group in the country.
We are located in New York City, with a membership primarily in the tri-state area of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. LSM is a support and information group for all women 18 years of age or older, including trans* and intersex people who live their daily lives as women and all female-born transgender people who feel they have a connection to and respect for the womens community, and who are interested in fantasy and role playing, bondage, discipline, S/M, fetishes, costumes, alternate gender identities and uninhibited sexual expression in a safe, sane, consensual and confidential way.
We are not a social service agency. However, we are interested in providing information, encouragement and general support. Our principles are few but basic: confidentiality, consensuality, safety and the right of women to explore their sexuality as they choose.
