My Testimonials

February 20, 2007
We all have turning points in our lives; one of mine happened the day I met Cleo Dubois. Over the years I have been privileged to watch the Erotic Dominance Intensives She offers through Her Academy of SM Arts give people the tools they need to have more confidence, be more intimate, and get more real with their partners, families, and communities.

As a student, I found the self-esteem I had been denying for years, including the power to say "I don't know" and learn something new. That alone has literally changed my life. Every Intensive touches all the participants: students, teachers, volunteers and staff. From breath and touch through floggers and canes to negotiation and aftercare , Cleo and her staff show you ways to get the most out of your SM play and more than that, your everyday life.

Thank you, Cleo!
In Loving Service,
Sam

The Academy of SM Arts

about me
Greetings!

BDSM is my lifelong passion. I am a ritualist who connects heat, heart and spirit with my radical sexuality. I am a dominant woman, part of a vibrant leather family, who also privately appreciates the joys of switching. As a community player, I feel that we kinksters are explorers on the ecstatic path of conscious erotic energy exchange that links our sexuality to our spirituality. As an educator, I relish privately coaching partners in my dungeon, or teaching eight or nine like-minded kinky explorers at one of my Erotic Dominance Weekend Intensives.

Eve Minax Selina Raven and I offer these intimate hands-on, intimate weekends in San Francisco 6 times a year for Dominant Men, Women and those who switch. You can attend with your partner, or alone and work with one of my Academy of SM Arts trusted volunteers. All the information is on my website: www.sm-arts.com

Want to get to know me better? You can read my story still on the 20 Up SM project on Gloria Brame's blog! I also have a little clip on YouTube! www.youtube.com/watch

Find more of my published work most recently in "Sacred Desire," edited by Lee Harrington and "Reclaiming Eros" by Margaret Wade. See me in action in both my docu-films, the award winning “The Pain Game” and “Tie Me Up,” available on one DVD, "The SM Arts Collection". "The Pain Game" screened at many alternative and LGBT film festivals including Frameline. Both are noted for their authenticity and capture of the energy, spirituality and sensuality of SM exchange.

I believe in the magic of SM.
