The Lab
During the tech boom of the 1990’s the Association looked at member’s ideas for BDSM equipment and devices. Obviously many were non-starters but some of them, with the permission of the member, were looked at by the Association who developed prototypes. If found to be successful in laboratory testing at the HQ’s lab, the items were licenced to interested manufacturers. Any profits were shared between the Association and the member(s) concerned.
The Lab continues today.
