The Lesbian Sex Mafia, founded in 1981, is an information and support group in New York City for lesbian, bisexual, heterosexual, and transexual women. The group's focus is to help promote fantasy/role playing, bondage, discipline, sadomasochism, fetishes, costumes, alternate gender identities, and uninhibited sexual expression. The group strongly upholds the principles of confidentiality, safety, consensuality, and a woman's right to explore her sexuality as she chooses.

Organization

The LSM is a member’s-only group. Membership is open to all women 18 years of age or older; this includes transgendered women, as well as transgendered men who were born as women. To become a member, one must attend an LSM Orientation/Safety Procedure Meeting. The orientation is a casual event where several members discuss their experiences with the potential member, as well as discussing the applicant’s interest in the organization. The Safety workshop teaches things such as how to tie wrists without cutting off circulation. Once a member, a woman may attend topic and demonstration meetings, discussion groups, and special interest "hands-on" workshops on specific sexual practices. The group also set’s up “dungeons” in members’ homes or rents S/M clubs to hold private “play parties” (to which non-members may bring a guest, so long as they assume full responsibility for them). Members even gain access to events held by associated BDSM groups, and receive discounts at some sex toy shops.
