Fast Forward to Now

Fast forward to the current environment. Aury was counter to the then era of political correctness in some ways e.g. a woman addressing her sexuality in ways theretofore limited to the male voice while in other ways mirroring the societal thinking of the female as submissive to the male. She took to the issues of submission to the extreme by utilizing the D/s conceit and in so doing, confronted all genders. She held a magnifying mirror to the face of society and like all pioneering individuals, moved society forward by standing it on its head.

I'm not saying she pioneered the feminist movement. I'm also not suggesting she advanced D/s but it cannot be denied that she did both by placing the spotlight on the issues.

I wonder, if she were still with us, what she would think or say about the chat rooms of today, the web sites of self annoited experts of D/s and even the BDSM activist groups who demand equal treatment under the law as they seek acceptance of their own sexual proclivities. I don't have any conclusions-in truth I am a bit conflicted. What are your thoughts?

It is time to focus back on my experiences...
