Ambrosio the monk drawing Ambrosio

Ambrosio's scene name originates from the title character of "The Monk", a classic Gothic novel by M. G. Lewis about an evil Monk with an innocent appearance and pristine reputation. In his public life, Ambrosio is a single professional web nerd in his mid-thirties living in San Antonio. Privately, he's been in the BDSM scene since approximately 1994 and active since about 1995. He's known as sensual top but he also practices more heavy play (with the right play partners) and D/s role playing. He founded SAS/M in 1996 and San Antonio Dominant's Dinner in 2001. He is a member of GWNN, National Leather Association: Austin, National Leather Association International, SASSY, DDCT, and has recently rejoined the Board of SAS/M. He compiles "Ambrosio's BDSM Newsletter," co-moderates the BDSM San Antonio mailing list, teaches BDSM classes, and maintains Ambrosio's BDSM Site and the NLA Austin site. Hobbies include reading, writing, acting, web development, ballroom dancing, and Safe, Sane, and Consensual BDSM. Contact him at ambrosio1@swbell.net
