On moonlit nights in the reign of England's King George, influential aristocrats, intellectuals, artists and freethinkers of the age could be seen travelling slowly in gondolas up the river from London to an old ruined abbey at the base of a large hill in the countryside.

There, to the sonorous tolling of the deconsecrated cloister bell, they changed into hooded robes inscribed with the motto 'Love & Friendship' before descending into the dark catacombs that ran a mile long 300 feet below the hill.

The caves were used in prehistoric times for pagan rituals and now provided a clandestine meeting place for persons of quality to enjoy each others companionship and conversation whilst engaging in what were considered to be immoral sexual acts.

Along with their clothes these respectable ladies and gentlemen also cast off the inhibitions and restrictions imposed by society to transform into debauched rakes and wanton sluts indulging in all manner of depravity in ritualistic displays of male domination & female submission. These satyr and nymph disciples of Bacchus and Venus took physical sex to itd limits whilst exploring the psychological nature of love, lust, sex and submission.

This exclusive group of hedonistic libertines become infamous in history as the notorious Hellfire Club. What really went on in those underground caverns nobody knows except for the members themselves, and they never revealed their sordid secrets.

The caves were on the estate of Sir Francis Dashwood, founder and host of the Hellfire Club, who placed above the doorway the motto "Fait Ce Que Tu Voudras" which translates today as "Do As You Please".

At the cave entrance stood a statue of Angerona, Roman goddess of pleasure Egyptian goddess of silence, with a finger pressed to her lips as a reminder that what went on inside was not to be spoken of outside.

This site, like the original Hellfire Caves, is home to an  invitation-only member club for consenting adults interested in bdsm, fetish and other sexual kinks to do as they please in the company of like minded people. The site contains adult material and discussions of a sexual nature.
