What's New?
UPDATE: As of this afternoon, Nov 30th, the migration of files to the new server has been completed. The basic members only software, including the chat room software has been fully installed and is now functional. There are quite a few updates still to be installed, including a major rework of the "profiles" section, however the chat rooms and most of the other sections of the members only area are ready for your use. The full functionality of all the features has still not been implemented, with a bit of luck, this will be completed by December 5th. I'm sure it will take a month or two to get the chat room back to where it is busy again on a consistent basis, however I urge you to stop and visit. Spend some time there if you're able. As others see the chat room in use, they'll stop in more frequently. Don't forget to help Me spread the word "the chat room is again up and going. Should you encounter any difficulties with the site, let Me know so they can be addressed or corrected.

II've spent some time going through checking links on the site. I've found quite a few pages that we're just too hard to locate or links were missing. Many of these issues have been corrected with the links and pages being added to the Index page. Other new pages have been added as well. All total, there are now over 500 pages of information and topics on the Asj website. If you haven't checked the index page lately, perhaps now is a good time to do so! As always, if you find a problem with a link or missing page here on the site, let Me know so the issue can be corrected. Problems on the site can be reported by clicking on any of the "Ask Live" icons found on most of the pages on the site! Check out these new pages
If you haven't noticed, the Asj community maintains a Dominants Registry. If you're a Dominant and serious about the lifestyle, I hope you'll consider submitting an application to the registry.

Real Time Meetings and Getting Together for those in the Dominant ~ Submissive/slave lifestyle The Asj community has long recognized the importance of having a support system in place.

On practically every discussion list I'm on, the discussion inevitably comes around to the topic of married Doms seeking submissive partners outside of their marriage. There are, of course, some people who have very strong opinions about this issue and it always sparks fairly intense debate. Married Dom seeks submissive
I believe there are 2 occasions when we as subs have to release our hearts, both of them equally painful. The first one is evident…..when we are released by a Dom then we must begin the process of letting go of our hearts. That may sound like every relationship, but it's not. As submissives we have to begin the painful healing process….Release your heart

Being Dominant

falls impossibly short of reality. Perhaps that is why so few
websites have detailed descriptions of what it means to be a Dominant.
While the descriptions, duties and needs of submissives are given
described in great attention, there is precious little space devoted to
Dominants.

Is everyone either a top or a bottom? What's a "switch"? One perception that some people can have, looking into the scene from outside, is that people are either tops or bottoms.
