This is a work in progress..it might always be in progress! This is a listing of places, organizations, clubs, etc, all with useful information and where you can find and get involved with your local scene. Listings include both pansexual and exclusive groups.
When sending me a link, try to include the following: name of the group, city and state its primarily located in, and a brief description of the group or organization. Also provide contact info--URL, or email contact, or snail mail/phone.
Please note that updates are NO longer monthly--due to the lack of support thus far for this site, my time to spend on it is now limited, and infrequent. So, if you've sent me a listing and it isn't up on the page yet, it'll go in on the next update, whenever that is.
Note--PLEASE do not send listings of professional dungeons, pro doms, or BDSM-related businesses. I cannot stress that enough. This page is simply a guide to where people can meet and get involved.
Helpful hint--I'll list them if you send them, but Yahoo discussion groups, pages on Geocities, Angelfire, etc, have a brief life span due to the growing anti-adult censorship of those web communities. You're better off having your page hosted by an adult friendly (or at least indifferent) provider.
Also, please do not send date-specific listings of anything that'll expire--trying to keep this page a resource for ongoing groups/organizations.
I need international listings! Right now there isn't enough for another page for y'all. :(
Nothing close to you? So start one! Here's a link that will help:
Recently I've found out that a couple of other sites have copied Scene USA, almost word for word. I have not given permission for my site to be mirrored, not that I was even asked.
The information listed here is public...but the code is mine. Please respect that, and if you want to use these listings, at least code it your own way.

Not that it really belongs here on Scene USA, but having nowhere else to put 'em and in the thought that someone might even actually enjoy it, below are links to three BDSM-related humor pieces I've done:
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
For almost ten years now I have operated this webpage for the kink community. I have relied upon my sponsor programs to provide the funds needed to operate.
However, in recent days its not been enough.
Simply put, not nearly enough (by a long shot) people have been
clicking the sponsor banners and (more importantly) subscribing to the
services.
As none of them are 'pay per click', its always been the
subscribing/shopping that counts.
For years, I've always turned down the offers of kind users to paypal
donations to keep the site afloat--my philosophy was, let them
subscribe from a service or shop at a sponsor store so the user can at
least get something for it, you know?
Sadly, I'm being forced to change my stance on this. To
those of you who wish to support the site, and dont want to bother with
all the subscription/shopping programs that run Scene USA, paypal
is now going to be an option.
*Sigh* and now...like a PBS station in desperate straits, here's the
'pledge break'. If you choose to contribute to the survival of this
website, you have my deepest thanks.
