From the Dowayne of Jasmine House
On this day, the longest day of the year, I begin my count down in earnest looking forward to the Longest Night Masque. As part of Jasmine House, it is all too easy to simply say, “for pleasures sake.” It speaks for itself because nothing is more sensual then pure pleasure. But pleasure is never “simply” for itself – it is a way to express ourselves, to announce ourselves, and in our way, to reveal ourselves to another person in the most intimate way possible. In that intimacy, we discover that the greatest pleasure of all is to give pleasure to another person. That is where true sensuality exists: in giving pure pleasure.

From the Second of Jasmine House
Jasmine House and what it means to me is a vast and complex subject. It started off as a few hours on an online forum and evolved into a family that spans thousands of miles, with our loves, our disagreements, our successes and our tragedies.
The motto of Jasmine House, for pleasures sake, encompasses many different paths and passions. For me it comes down to one message: do what you love, because you love it, and to hell with everyone else.
Jasmine House is a home to those who feel they don’t quite fit in the other houses or who feel that several of the houses would suit them, those who don’t quite know which path calls the strongest. In Jasmine House every path to pleasure is accepted.
I count every day that I’ve known my Jasmine Sisters and Brothers as a blessing. They have touched my life and my heart more than I have ever been able to tell them.
