I Was a Teenage Dominatrix: A Memoir

Product Information

Not many clients ask for shibari. In the dungeon that she helped design and works out of in a Collingwood brothel, her most requested services involve latex and corporal punishment. The former might see Alex donning a catsuit and skyscraper heels and fitting the client with a latex hood, or perhaps zipping them up in a latex body bag, forms of sensory deprivation that render the client vulnerable and, vitally, submissive. Wilson, Andrew (2005). "German dominatrices' choice of working names as reflections of self constructed social identity". Sexuality and Culture. 9 (2): 31–41. doi: 10.1007/s12119-005-1006-9. S2CID 145428726. Professional dominatrices may take pride or differentiation in their psychological insight into their clients' fetishes and desires, as well as their technical ability to perform complex BDSM practices, such as Japanese shibari, head-scissoring, [42] and other forms of bondage, suspension, torture roleplay, and corporal punishment, and other such practices which require a high degree of knowledge and competency to safely oversee. From a sociological point of view, Danielle Lindemann has stated the "embattled purity regime" in which many pro-dommes emphasise their specialist knowledge and professional skills, while distancing themselves from economic criteria for success, in a way which is comparable to avant-garde artists. [43]

That's exactly what she did, moving to Melbourne a few years later where she undertook a two-year traineeship at the Correction Centre (formerly in Fitzroy, recently in Coburg, and currently closed), where BDSM enthusiasts go to indulge their fantasies. Today, I act the following scenario: I’m being pulled over in a car, and they are a police officer. I go on to question them about why they are staring at my outfit and body.

Culture

Bunny is always horny, so she does everything. She embraces hardcore bondage, cosplay, taboo roleplay, takes on huge toys, and squirts as often as possible. She does anal like any good girl should, and loves to jerk men off with her petite feet. If a sissy boy begs to be dominated, and knows how to worship her, she’ll take control. Corporal punishment could be anything from spanking and flogging with all manner of paddles, whips and canes, to electronic stimulation – or torture – administered via a small but powerful machine with clamps attached to the genitals.

As Erica herself puts it, she’s ‘seasoned’ now – and wants to lift other women on the way up. This is how she got here. There’s a lot of stigma around the sex industry and one common misconception is that you have to be constantly harsh as a dominatrix. I am perfectly capable of showing empathy and I NEVER treat my customers as just a username. They all have their different needs and I adapt my role to everyone. Lindemann, Danielle (2010). "Will the real dominatrix please stand up: artistic purity and professionalism in the S&M dungeon". Sociological Forum. 25 (3): 588–606. doi: 10.1111/j.1573-7861.2010.01197.x. Being a dominatrix really is about understanding the psychology of it – it has nothing to do with sex, it’s everything to do with the power of being able to read someone’s body language and engage with them on a mental level. A dominatrix often uses strong, dominant body language which is comparable to dominant posturing in the animal world. The props she brandishes signify her role as dominatrix, such as a flogger, whip or riding crop as illustrated in the artwork of Bruno Zach in the early 20th century.
