I don’t want to say that I can necessarily dissociate completely from the ‘dragon lady’ stereotype, because to me she is powerful, and she is witchy, and she is magical, and she can manipulate men’s desires into money,” Yin explains. “Hell yeah, what’s wrong with that?” I’m going to share with you some of my thoughts on what I do , our business model , and how things feel so tenuous , and what I’m doing to try and prevent a 2nd covid like period of desolation that may be on the horizon.

Growing up in San Francisco, Cho attended the Folsom Street Fair, a massive event celebratingthe queer BDSM and leather communities. “My experience of the leather community really comes from queer kink,” she said. “I used to work at this company called Stormy Leather in the 90s making leather dildos, I mean just incredibly grassroots, like actually making sex toys and selling them, so this world to me has really come alive in this series.” I’ve never gotten ‘dragon lady,’” Dia admits, saying she’s more “subtle and gentle.” She refers to her role with her clients as “the goddess” and “the exalted female” — ultra-feminine and often using patience and tolerance as tools versus force. This doesn’t mean that she intentionally distances herself from the stereotype though.Projects like these are so revolutionary for how they de-stigmatize marginal perspectives and communities by showing a fuller truth. How do you feel that Mercy Mistress can help discussions about BDSM sexuality move beyond potential stigmas or even ideas of criminality? Writing from the top of my head isn’t always a great idea , I have at any given time so many thoughts dancing around my head with regards to my business, femdom , customer’s behaviors and so on. Enter Yin Q (real name: Yin Quan), a New York-based professional dominatrix, educator, human rights activist and writer, whose new show, a BDSM comedic drama entitled Mercy Mistress, aims to shatter all of the above dehumanizing images and destigmatize kink by showcasing the sexuality of queer Asian-Americans in a truthful, sexy, nuanced, and humorous light. So she recycles the videos they didn’t remove and marries them with 2-3 stories of all her sessions and prior to that all her filming experiences with me. Like about 1000 stories in all. That we’re just now copy/pasting over to jaa4u in her FemDom Stories blog posts. From time to time, I make My way around the country and the globe to give others the world over the opportunity to serve Me (or follow Me).

I was just watching another video on Asian-American male masculinity. The male actor who plays Mistress Yin's love interest in the show is just so amazing as an actor, and in who he is as an activist. And a conversation that I had with him behind the scenes was about how so many hetero actors are being applauded to play gay scenes, whereas a famous gay actor had never been applauded for playing a straight scene. So having an Asian-American gay actor play a straight male who is wrestling with their shame, that's something behind-the-scenes that I would just like to see. But by upholding Asian-American masculinity in a loving way, like here is this guy who is a hip guy but in the end, he gets the girl. I feel like Asian-American men are either a tech-guy, the nerd, the guy that can get rid of your coding problem, but can't get a date. So not only upholding the woman, the femme, and their sexuality, but I want to uphold the men and their masculinity, because there are so many different shades of masculinity that can be sexy and not toxic. I not only want to build a better world for the girls but for the boys that they hang with. of every submissive guy who comes to see me rebooks me. My cancellation rate was near 0. Let’s call it 1%.

Then covid hit. The nuclear bomb of al nuclear bombs for this business model , the one I thought was indestructible. In the dungeon however I prefer not to use Discipline as punishment – but see it as a gift of suffering and submission that the slave is giving to me. A way to connect via trust, endurance and ordeal. However therapeutic kink can be for clients, the dominatrixes clarified that BDSM cannot be a replacement for psychotherapy. And while some therapists tend to pathologize kinkiness, “there’s a big change too in therapy, where they are integrating the fact that BDSM and kink are part of people’s sexuality, and it’s not [all] coming from this place of trauma,” Lucy says.In my practice – the *purpose* of CP is very different between these two classic archetypes – as Headmistress the administration of punishment is specifically for the benefit of the “naughty boy”– the cane may sting but I am confident that it will greatly benefit the recipient in terms of improved behaviour, demeanour and results.
