May/June1998

   
Memphis Power Exchange is Born

On May 16, 1998, MPE held its first official meeting. MPE was formed by the former members of The Dungeon Society of Memphis and the founder of DSM. The Focus of MPE is to provide those with a genuine interest in BDSM, a safe place to meet others in the lifestyle, share ideas, and promote SSC within the community. For more information about MPE, go to http://www.clpw.net/MPE/. This group offers "No Voting" and "No Politics" to its list of benefits. For information on attending a meeting, e-mail mpe@clpw.net.

 

 

MPE Membership Requirements

Attendance to MPE is by invitation only. MPE membership requirements are that you are over 18 years of age and have a genuine interest in BDSM. MPE is not a play group, swinger's club, or matchmaking service. Before attending any MPE event, you must be met by members of the group. Proper etiquette and manners must be observed, or invitation will be revoked.

 

Farewell Dungeon Society of Memphis

When DSM was formed by Lisa, it was created as a place for people to meet and socialize with those with an interest in BDSM. For nearly two years, the group was active, however, for the last few months, there was a lot of arguing with select members that wanted to change the focus to become a "play group". With there already a play group in existence, there was not a need for this to happen. With the constant battling, loyal DSM members wanted their group back and with the original focus. On May 17, 1998, the members of DSM took their final vote. That vote was to dissolve DSM. By an overwhelming majority, the path of DSM was chosen... it was laid to rest.
