Welcome to Elysium Lifestyle

Welcome to Elysium Lifestyle, a hierarchy blog, Twitter, Discord, podcast, and community.  .





    In 2021, a group of Alphas and submissives were looking for an alternative from the pervasive narrative dominating some major circles which said that any man claiming to be at the top of the hierarchy must be obeyed in all ways (sexually, financially, etc.), and those at the bottom must submit without question, hesitation, or agency.
    This direction did not align with their values and principles, and so a central question was asked: What if there was a hierarchical community which helped develop, train, and foster individuals rather than cater to their destructive impulses?
Elysium Lifestyle is the answer.


    Elysium Lifestyle is a community for those into consensual power exchange, centered around the notion of hierarchy. Through this blog, our social media, the Discord server, and our regular podcasts, we are able to educate people on how to accept their roles in the hierarchy without shame, fear, or apology.

    The concept of "hierarchy" has been around since early humans started forming tribes, with leaders (rulers) at the top and followers (servants) at the bottom. As civilizations evolved, so too did the hierarchical strata. Although the vast majority of people in today's society fall into the middle ground, there is still a need for leaders and visionaries (the Alphas) as well as those who serve them (the submissives).


    Turn on any media platform and you'll hear people defining what an "Alpha male" is/isn't, or bemoaning how all men have the potential to be Alphas. It is our belief that not all "men" were destined to be Alphas. The world needs leaders and those leaders need people to follow their lead in making the world a better place. This form of service must be voluntary, because without consent, it is not servitude but slavery.
    Here at Elysium Lifestyle, we pride ourselves in the fundamental concept of consent. An Alpha may be in the position where they can take what they want, but that which is taken by force is stolen. Only that which is given freely holds any value to the receiver.
    Likewise, respect can come in one of two forms: fear or devotion. If a submissive fears their Dom, their actions are a reaction to the fear of punishment, which has nothing to do with the character of the Dom. However, if a Dom inspires devotion, a bond is forged directly to, and because of, the innate character of the Dom and holds more meaning, purpose, and value.
    Our members share this vision of "domination through consensual devotion". This does not mean that we avoid necessary concepts such as punishment or the pleasure that some find through humiliation, but it does mean that we promote a lifestyle of service and respect through consent and recognition of one's place and responsibilities in the hierarchy.


    Although hierarchical domination may manifest in a myriad of different forms, there are certain things we can all agree upon which do not belong in our community.
    First, we are firmly against pedophilia. Minors are not able to legally give consent, and because of this lack of legal consent, Elysium Lifestyle will not engage in this topic of conversation. Although many people engage in sexual activity before they turn 18, this is not the community for these things. 
    Second, we stand against incest. While the fantasy of adult relatives engaging in consensual sexual activities may excite some people, far too often this can open the door to "father-son" fantasies with an unhealthy power dynamic, often between an adult in power and a minor without, which is legally classified as statutory rape. 
    Third, rape is never justified. Rape undermines the fundamental truth that consent must be given for any and all types of power play, and may be revoked at any time by either party. Rape-play, also known as "consensual non-consent" or CNC, is a form of power-play that we will cover here and discuss how to ethically engage in it, but the sexual violation of another person, regardless of their place in the hierarchy, is never justified.
    We encourage our members to be open about their past experiences and traumas regarding these sensitive topics, but only in an academic setting where they are not to be normalized, justified, or glorified. Period.

    We are only getting started. In the months to come, we will continue to post a wide variety of articles and stories surrounding aspects of "hierarchy in action" to help educate those who are curious, eager, and open-minded. Check out our calendar for what we have planned and don't forget to follow us on Twitter (@ElysiumLS) for updates, contests, and hot pics.

  1. I'm both relieved and delighted to read the above. I've been arguing the points elsewhere but getting nowhere.

    Here's to positive, humane mutual fulfilment of O/our respective natures! I think it takes self-honesty and some guts to go where the journey can lead but together as Leaders and followers it can be a glorious adventure in this unpredictably short but wonderful life.

  2. Delighted - and quite relieved - to find some Dominants and subs who share my concerns about consensually, age appropriateness etc.

    I look forward to being involved in a creative and developing on-line (and, potentially IRL) community based on manhood which is positive, powerful and full of potential. Takes self-awareness, honesty and some guts, I'd say and I'm up for that with a lot of fun on the way.
