As the weather warms up, the thoughts of outdoor activities beacon.

May Day is fast approaching, and with it thoughts of lascivious activity under the open night sky.

What shall the Hellfire Club do for it’s first summer?  Let us know.

The Hellfire Club is still forming, but we are looking for people who would be a good fit for the initial group.

If you consider yourself to be a sensual person, a rake, a glutton, a lover of the enjoyable things in life, and you live in or around southern New Hampshire, then you might be perfect!

Shoot an email to abbot@hellfireclub.tk if you’re interested.

Historically, feasting has been a favored activity of Hellfire Clubs, and ours is no exception.

We’re still seeking out your ideas for hedonistic delights, including both modern takes and historical recreations of some of the dishes mentioned previously. We’d also love to hear from you about your favorite recipes.  Send them to abbot@hellfireclub.tk

When anyone explores their desires with others, it is necessary to have a method to break out of the situation safely and kindly.  The limits of pleasure have their bounds and one must be able to loosen them a little while maintaining a safety rope for the absolute limits.

That’s where safe words come into play.

They are established at the fore of an encounter, either as standards before play or as agreed signs between the players for a particular game.  These lines mark the distinctive boundaries between rape play as a fun time and rape as a sexual assault.

The Hellfire Club believes such boundaries are necessary in maximizing the hedonistic pleasures we promote and we are interested in which safe words you think are best.

We hope to establish a simple series of three levels – red, yellow, and green, as they are often called – to enhance the feedback of participants in any encounter.  We hope to be able to establish a set which will be universal among our members and distinguished visitors.

What universal safewords would you suggest for The Hellfire Club?  They need to be speakable even under a gag if possible and easily remembered while not likely to be said accidentally.  Email your suggestions to abbot@hellfireclub.tk

In the future, The Hellfire Club will be taking applications for Affiliated Clubs.  If you are interested, please email The Abbot. We are looking for respectable, hedonistic clubs who value exclusivity and  companionship among their members.  Affiliate status will put you in a category of “almost a member” and open you up to all sorts of our activities.

You may well be wondering what kind of club this Hellfire Club is.  I’ll try to answer some questions.

• Is this the REAL Hellfire Club? Well, you’ll need to define “real” first.  Even back in the 18th century there was no official, “real” Hellfire Club.  There were, in fact, several, often related Hellfire Clubs which ran independently.  The commonality of them was a camaraderie, a love of the pleasures of life and a jovial mockery of the stodginess of “respectable” society.
• Are you Satanists? No.  We are hedonists and we do not discriminate on the basis of religion.  True religion is in the soul of the individual and not in some man-made institution.  We respect all religions and mock the soulless effigies which claim to be religion.  We encourage the freedom of every individual to believe in and practice their religion or the lack thereof depending on their own, personal, individual, ethical, and moral guidelines.
• Why do you call it The Hellfire Club then? Because stodgy provocateurs of “respectable” society will tell us, “You’re going to Hell for that!”  Also, in reference to the early Hellfire Clubs in the 18th and 19th centuries.
• Where are you located? This Hellfire Club was started in the New England region of the United States, but we do not have geographical boundaries.  Members can be located anywhere.
• How do I join? You have to be invited.  Once you secure an invitation, you will be allowed to join as a registered user of this web site.  Official membership in the Hellfire Club will potentially follow from there.
• How are you organized? Very loosely.  Ok, more specifically, we are patterned after various social clubs, especially those generally termed “Gentlemen’s Clubs” which were fashionable in the 19th century in London.
• Are you restricted by social class then? Nope.  We are, however restricted by social connections and trust which often transcend the typical social class structure.
• Can women join? Absolutely! We are very welcoming to all genders, races, classes, religions, political beliefs, sexual orientations, etc. so long as the candidates fit into our social circle, can be trusted, maintain integrity, earn trust, etc.
• What do you do? What does any social club do?  We socialize.  The Hellfire Club promotes public, private, and members-only events of all kinds which we find enjoyable.  This might be anything from a coffee outing to an extravagant gala affair and everything in between.

Do you have more questions?  If so, please feel free to email The Abbot with your questions or concerns.
