Membership in this community is only open to active LSM full- members. This means, that you need to be a current, dues paying non-pledge member.

Founded in 1981, the Lesbian Sex Mafia (LSM) is one of the oldest women s BDSM support and education groups 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. However, we also have members along the East Coast, across the country and even in Europe!LSM is a support and information group for lesbian, bisexual, heterosexual, transsexual and intersexed women who live their daily lives as women and all female-born transgender persons who feel they have a place in the women's community 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. Furthermore, 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.

This is NOT a space for male-born male-identified people, even nice pansexual or gay ones - there are many other groups better suited to your tastes and we ask that you join one of them instead.

For legal reasons, if you are under the age of 18, please do not join or post in this community. Here are some queer youth safe spaces on LJ:

pflag, gays, gsa, g_a_s_p, gayly_forward, gsa_lj, _queer_teens_, queerspirits
