Mandrake House, with the approval of
its members:
Mandrake House ..."Yield All". Mandrake
adepts are skilled in various arts of domination and sadism, known to
free patrons' bodies and spirits through the use of constraints and
yielding. Mandrake provides the foil to Valerian, allowing the
patrons' yielding to the trust in their adepts to experience pleasure
in powerful ways. The Mandrake plant features a beautiful violet
flower to entice bugs, but its roots below hold hallucinogenic
properties used in a variety of arts. It is said that through pain the
body and the mind can be taken to higher levels as the brain does its
best to compensate for such distress. With a trusting patron and a
skilled adept, Mandrakes can bring patrons to new heights of pleasure.
House adepts are trained in a variety of arts and skills, starting
from the elements of breath play, moving up to rope play, and into flechettes. Skills in flagellation and subsets in crops, cats-o'-nine
tails, canes, and paddling are also learned. With skills in such arts,
truly skillful Mandrake adepts must inspire trust, comfort, and an
understanding amongst patrons that will allow for a true bonding
experience between patron and adept. This trust will be the only way
to allow for the most free expression between the two. Mandrake adepts
must be truly giving, in that the pleasure and pain inflicted upon
each patron must be delivered in a spirit of unearthing a side usually
hidden to the rest of the world. Patrons of Mandrake House come to
unearth different sides of themselves, find pleasures that are usually
kept secreted, whether because they enjoy the punishments or a safe
place to let themselves go, and surrender to the pleasure and pain
that is completely out of their control. Mandrake adepts must be
skilled in a variety of aspects of lovemaking and knowledge of patrons
to allow their bodies and mind to surrender to the true pleasures that
the body is capable of handling. Mandrake adepts must be able to allow
true freedom of the mind-body connection to emerge through a variety
of measures just like the root of the mandrake plant can let the mind
emerge in different ways.
