I bet your pastor would be so proud, Sevryn.
You know your name was made famous by the Velvet Underground song "Venus In Furs" that glorified sexual bondage, don't you? I haven't thought of that song in years until now. It really was very good. Here's a snippet:
"Kiss the boot of shiny, shiny leather
Shiny leather in the dark
Tongue of thongs, the belt that does await you
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart
Sevryn, Sevryn, speak so slightly
Severyn, down on your bended knee
Taste the whip, in love not given lightly
Taste the whip, now bleed for me"
