The authors, the editor and publisher of this booklet accept no responsibility or liability for any accident, injury, or mishap which might befall any individual as a result of performing activities described herein.

Some of the material in this booklet was gathered to use in the orientations for new members of the Lesbian Sex Mafia (LSIM). LS/M was founded in 1981 as a support and information group for lesbian and bisexual women interested in so-called "politically incorrect" sex-fantasy and role playing, bondage, discipline, SIM, fetishes, costumes, alternate gender identities, and so forth. I want to thank them for their assistance and support for making this information more widely available.
