Introduction
The Edmonton “O” Society (EOS) is an
unincorporated society. Members meet
monthly in a casual, non-judgmental
social setting to share one another’s
company, dialogue and learn together about
this form of sexual expression. The EOS is
not a dating service, an escort agency,
sexual theatre for voyeurs, or a swinger’s
club.
The EOS subscribes to the credo first
adopted by the National Leather Association:
Safe, Sane & Consensual.
Each member takes this code seriously and
expects the same from new and old members
alike. The EOS neither promotes nor condones
unsafe and unlawful activities, or behavior
that is prejudicial toward any person or
group.
About our name
Our name comes from, The Story of O, a
classic erotic novel published in France in
1955. Written by Pauline Reage (a
pseudonym), the Story of “O” was about a
slave named “O” -- a young woman so
devoted to her lover that she willing
submits to his domination, even to the
extent of being given away to another
Master.
Even though the book dwelled on a male
dominant – female submissive relationship,
the EOS does not distinguish between a
member’s gender, sexual orientation, or
preference for domination, submission, or
both.
