• NW Hypnotherapy Center is experienced dealing with many problems, including childhood abuse or molestations, weight problems, self-esteem issues, and many others. 90 Minute Stop Smoking program. See our website at http://www.nwhypnotherapy.com for more details.

• Consent Counts At Creating Change 2007, a group formed to take on the work of decriminalizing leather/kink/fetish/BDSM (leather). Right now, laws that protect people from things like battery could be used against those involved in consensual adult behaviors. What needs to happen is to prevent this from happening while at the same time not weakening the laws that protect those who are victims of violence. This may take 12-15 years to become a reality.
• Pakrat Press is proud to provide adult comix and Web design to the BDSM community.
• WIAN Studios creates a wide variety of fabulous floggers from buffalo, bullhide, deertanned cow, suede and elk. In addition there is usually a selection of round and flat braided cat-o-nine-tails for those desiring a bit more... sensation. Special orders are welcome. Contact us for details.
