It’s My Fifth Anniversary!

On March 3, 2004, I registered on MaxFisch and made my very first post on The Hang announcing myself as a Luxuria Apprentice available for sessions.

Awww! *sniff*

So it seems fitting that I launch this new version of my website this week in celebration.  Those of you who are familiar with my old site have probably noticed that a lot of the original content is no longer here.  I’m trying to keep things simple.

Anyway, I’m delighted you’re here. Five years seems like a really long time and yet no time at all. I can’t help but grin bemusedly at that first shiny post of mine. Half the stuff I was into then is so off my menu now.  “Denigration and humiliation”? Protocol C/capitalization?  Me?!?!  Oh my goodness.

Yet the amazing thing is that the love and wonder are all still there for me, even after thousands of posts, hundreds of sessions, dozens of photo shoots, seven studio homes, a few heartbreaks, and one goal:  to discover, experience, and embody the positives of BDSM.

To help me commemorate my five years, please feel free to take a walk down memory lane and add your own reflections based on your experiences with me, whether it’s been through my posts on Max Fisch, my former blog (www.troyrorleans.blogspot.com) or as a play partner or fellow scenester.

And thanks to all of you — from the women who trained and mentored me, all the guys who let me train and practice on them, the wonderful people who helped socialize me at various fetish events, the bad clients who taught me so much, and the GREAT ones who constantly affirm(ed) for me why I’m here and love this so — to every one of you, my deepest, most heartfelt gratitude. I am so happy to be here and am so looking forward to the next five years!
