O2DV8 has been active in the BDSM lifestyle for over 30 years and has spent a lot of his time and energy exploring the physiological side of BDSM, especially how to use physical stimulus to bridge the gap from the physical to the mental so as to alter state.

O2DV8 has been active in the Sydney community for many years having run workshops for MAsT Sydney and the Dragons Den Wollongong, been a Leader of ‘The Den’ (A peer group for dominant men) for over 7 years mentoring many attendees along the way, and served on the MAsT: Sydney Committee for 2 years.

O2DV8’s focus is always has been one of power exchange, with many lessons learned along the way. As a result, over the years the use of rituals, protocols, and behavior modification have become an integral part of any of his ongoing interactions.
