We believe the Asj site to be a very credible Lifestyle resource, regardless of your role (ie.,Dom, Master,Top, submissive, slave, bottom or switch) or level of experience. Asj has always stressed the philosophy of Safe Sane and Consensual (SSC) as well as Risk Aware Consensual Kink (RACK). You'll find multiple references to well known Lifestyle Authors and Organizations. The lifestyle and various aspects of it tend to be a bit like a smorgasbord, allowing you to take what fits your individual needs and desires, passing on things that just don't fit what you're looking for. The Asj site does not attempt to suggest that there is only one right way of living the lifestyle. We emphasize the importance of understanding the basic cornerstones or building blocks of any Power Exchange Relationship, Communication, Trust, Respect and Honor/Honesty. The Asj web site has maintained a continuous online presence with millions of page views for well over a decade and with a bit of luck, we'll be around for at least another decade.
Asj is an abbreviation commonly used on this site and by it's members for the site name, A submissives journey
Yes, the Asj web site and community hosts a number of chat rooms both moderated and un-moderated. In an effort to keep out the usual trolls, idiots and underage minors found in chat rooms on so many other sites, the Asj Chat Rooms are only available to registered members of the Asj Community. Yes, the chat rooms are accessible by our 'Free Trial' members without any restrictions. While members can be found in our chat rooms at almost any time of the day or night, the busiest times for the chat rooms seems to be in the evenings (US Time). Please see our chat room rules and protocols for more information regarding our chat rooms. We'll look forward to seeing you in chat. Once you have logged in, the chat rooms can be accessed by clicking on any of the chat room links. Yes, our chat rooms are compatible with most mobile devices at no additional cost.
No, membership or registration is not required to visit or view many of the pages and features of the Asj web site and communities. There are however some premium features of the site, such as the chat rooms, member messaging, posting in forums, etc. that require membership. There are a significant number of articles, topics and posts that are also available only to members. These additional features become available on the various menus once the user has 'logged in'.
Currently, this is a difficult question to answer. The Asj web site is currently undergoing a complete site reformatting that is expected to take over a year to complete (estimated, Dec 2015). When completed, all pages on the site will be fully indexed and key word searchable by using the "Library Link" found on our Community or Members Only pages. This new system is proving to be very user friendly and far more efficient. Under the old system, the primary site index can be found at http://www.asubmissivesjourney.com/page10a.html As the pages are being reformatted, they are being removed from the old site index page and listed under the new Library Link system. We apologize for this obvious inconvenience, but we believe the final result will more than justify the temporary inconvenience.
With the sheer volume of information and pages found on the Asj site, it is difficult at best to update actual content on a frequent basis. However, you will find many of the articles on the Asj site are updated frequently, with new content being added on an almost daily basis. While some articles may be several years old, as long as they are still relevant and reflect accurate information they may remain on the site indefinitely. Should you find content that you believe is outdated, inaccurate or no longer relevant, we urge you to let us know.
Asj has long prided ourselves on the support provided to both our Members and Visitors on the site. Asj is one of the few lifestyle sites on the internet offering a "chat live" system to respond live to questions or issues. Although this feature is not staffed 24/7, if no one is available, it allows for a message to be left. Additionally, throughout the site you will find e-mail links to connect to our site support. Generally speaking, all requests are responded to in 24 hours or less, usually within a couple of hours. This support for questions regarding the Asj web site, communities, or the Lifestyle in general is available to Visitors and Members alike at no cost.

The Asj web site is not intended to generate a profit, however to offset actual site operating costs, a monthly membership fee is charged. Depending on the membership option selected, this membership fee can be as little as $2 (US) per month. This token fee not only helps to pay the operating cost of the site, but it also greatly reduces the number of scammers, role players and underage minors that are so prevalent on other sites. Our 14 Day Free Trial membership allows a member to fully evaluate the site and determine if it fits their needs and expectations long before any membership fee or payment is required.
For your personal security and convenience we prefer membership payments to be made by PayPal, however, we understand that is not always practical. Payments by credit card may be made by clicking on the PayPal option, then clicking on "Don't Have A PayPal account (this will take you to an "enter credit card information screen). We will work with you to provide a payment method that is convenient for you, which can include payment by mail (cash, check or money order), payment by GreenDot money transaction cards, or payment by Amazon.com gift cards. Contact our Member Support for additional information or options. Asj does not store or maintain any credit card information in our site database.

Receiving a "403" Error Message generally indicates you are attempting to access a page on the site that you are not authorized to visit.
