Educator, Author & Activist
Simon Blaise


Since his formal introduction into the BDSM lifestyle beginning in 1994 in an Hawaiin playspace aptly name "The Dungeon", Simon has been schooled in, and continues to study, various expressions and theories of BDSM, human sexuality, and the mechanics of how men and women interact on various levels.

After living a semi-private lifestyle for over a decade, Simon made the decision to become more public in hopes he that could help others understand that the BDSM way of life is not about abuse, but rather is simply another expression of love that is no different from that which is traditionally practiced by heterosexual "man and wife" or homosexual "life partners" today. Simon ultimately aims to be a part of making the BDSM lifestyle more acceptable in the minds of mainstream America on both the private and, more importantly, the governmental fronts by helping to debunk the current stereotypes which continue to plague and force BDSM so many lifestylers to remain in "the closet".

Simon's current project is authoring a book explaining how a Master and slave relationship can be at its healthiest and most rewarding when an M/s relationship is primarily based in reality - as opposed to fantasy. Simon is a proud member of Cirque de Sade, an established organization of respectable Masters and Mistresses who have come together to increase awareness of the BDSm lifestyle and to help others express the lifestyle to its fullest potential while doing so safely. Simon is an instructor for BDSMMentors.com, a non-profit organization that provides education for the BDSM communities by providing a series of weekend and day-long intensive workshops in Southern California that enhance skills, safety, and satisfaction for those who attend.

Blaise Sticks: Taking Your Fire Play to the Next Level (Course overview)

What exactly are Blaise Sticks?

They are a particular type of fire torch crafted by the hand of Simon Blaise himself that have an inner super-absorbent core, an advanced and luxuriously soft wicking material and sturdy handles that allow for a safer fueling method and longer burn-times that keep you in the scene longer and refueling less -- all of which take fire play to the next level.

After a brief safety and basic fire play technique discussion, Simon will discuss preliminary techniques to help students safely acquaint themselves with fire, its capabilities as a sensation tool, and inherent risks.

During the hands-on segment of the class, Simon will work with a limited number of couples and discuss different techniques, basic and/or advanced, based on each pairs' exhibited skill set. Simon will also be available during the nightly members-only parties to coach interested members of the class who wish to try out this exciting and intense form of play for themselves.

For those of you who want to heat things up in your dungeon, this class is a must see!
