Safe Sanctuary At The House of Z

Safe Sanctuary
at the
House of Z

Dear Friends,

Having spent the last 34 years of my life involved in the BDSM Lifestyle, I have seen many cases of abuse, neglect and non-consensual harm. There is no excuse for this.

Master Z will provide any person, male or female, with temporary safe shelter, food, friendship and acceptance at the House of Z WITH NO STRINGS ATTACHED .

You are welcome if you are a person in the BDSM Lifestyle that has:

experienced abuse or non consensual harm and have no place to go now.
been "outed" and put out by your spouse or family.
been released by your Master with no place to go.
ended a relationship with your bottom, who you lived with and have no place to go.
no one to turn to, due to a lack of "kink friendly" friends.
a judgemental family that will not accept you because of your "kink" and has put you out on the street.
been released or abused and needs a temporary safe place to stay until you get your life back in order.

We are very sorry, but we cannot accept anyone with minor children in their custody at the House of Z.

If I anger any Dominants in doing so, please understand that I believe strongly in the concept of Safe, Sane and Consensual and will provide safe harbor to anyone that needs it. I mean no disrespect in any way, but will stand firmly by my beliefs.

Providing Safe Sanctuary is one of the many ways that I "give back" to the community that I love so much. I ask for nothing in return. However, I always appreciate donations made to the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom (http://www.ncsfreedom.org) or the Leather Archives & Museum (http://www.leatherarchives.org/) in my honor.

In leather heart and soul,

Master Z

http://www.geocities.com/andifekete/
"Emotional Abuse is the repeated use of controlling and harmful behaviors by a partner to control a woman. As a result, a woman lives in fear and alters her thoughts, feelings and behaviors and denies her needs to prevent further abuse."--Cheryl Champagne
