Alternative Hedonistic Source Frequently Asked Questions

Unsolicited Endorsement

"I just wanted...to thank you for having such an organization. I have been trying to find such a friendly group where I am free to discuss my lifestyle. Last night was my first meeting. Hearing the laughter and feeling the light hearted but still truthful and serious discussion was a nice change. I plan to make as many meetings as I can, as I feel I have found a gracious group of people to learn from and, hopefully, give back to."

Just one of many such responses we’ve received from the new friends we make every month.

One of the most frequent responses we get to our "advertisements" goes along the lines of: "I/we can't afford the exposure of going public." Who can? AHS is as discrete a group as you'll ever find. Want to be first-name only? Go by a nickname? Not reveal anything at all about yourself until you feel comfortable doing so? Pretend you wandered into our meeting by mistake? In AHS, it's always your choice to say as little or as much about yourself as you like.

One thing before we go any further: Although some of us will fudge a little about our true identities, we are open and honest about everything else. You will hear frank discussions of a sexual nature. You will hear people talk freely about their desires and experiences. You will see Dominant/submissive lifestyles openly displayed. Most newcomers find the openness refreshing and soon want to join in. Our discussion topics changes every month and demonstrations are often a part of our meetings.

AHS prejudices against no individual or lifestyle. Our members include singles, couples, gays, lesbians, straight, BI's, transgender, dominants, submissive, switches - you name it. AHS is a true pansexual organization. If you're into the D/s scene in any way - even just curious about it - you're welcome in AHS. Our membership ranges in age from 21 to over 70. Most of us are in our thirties and forties. Seems to be the age when we shed our inhibitions and go for hedonistic pleasure before it's too late.

Another common question we get is, "Are there any (fill in your choice of prospective partners) in the group?" The simple answer is "Yes." AHS meetings usually attract the two categories most often under-represented: single submissive females and single dominant females. Single males of both (and either) persuasion are always in attendance. Couples? Lots. AHS counts over 200 of the area's friendliest "perverts" as members. We always attract a sizable number of folks who aren't members as well.

Disclaimer

AHS sponsors informational topics and discussions. You may see consenting adults in bondage during demonstrations at meetings and afterward. This is always by choice, of course, and you are not expected to follow suit unless you so desire. You may bring your own toys and restraints with you. Questions about appropriateness should be addressed to the Sergeant-at-Arms.
