I just got off the phone with a local pro Domme from the west side of Chicago
She bought a building and has been working on turning it into a Dungeon
She's seen my work and talked with some of the people I've rigged at the Dungeon I'm moonlighting at now and she wants me to come down and talk about being a regular Rigger for the space after they open
Any plurk that starts with [BDSM] YES!
has to be a good one
This is a very good one
Lots of networking in the community may pay off
That there is such a community is really cool. It's always fucking fascinating to me when you talk about this stuff
it's just cool that so many people are so understanding, friendly, and supportive about stuff that's normally taboo to discuss
The Taboos of the Community can be weird and vary from group to group. It depends on what philosophy of BDSM they follow but they tend to let you know when you get there
Some things are universal and what is expected in different venue's are pretty self explanatory
If the Munch is at an Applebees, Don't wear the Gimp Suit
All the things. I'm really hope things work out. If anything she wants Shibari lessons from me and for to do some floor shows.
Be a Domme. make corsets your Work Cloths
I want it but how to start......
A couple different ways, really. One is to go thru the Lifestylers. Go to the big munches that are hosted at the local Dungeons. Large groups, older crowd, more experienced who can point you at some Dommes
The Community exists as its own mentorship entity. Its why the Swingers hate hanging out with us. We spend hours talking and teaching and never actually do anything
They just stand around wondering. "Ok.. they are all listening to this guy talk about flogger techniques...when are we going to fuck?"
Finding a mentor is easy to teach you the basic stuff. Fuck I can teach people how to flog and whip and bind and I'm a Slave! The finer points of being a Pro Domme you need an experienced Mistress to help you.
Pro work is different from Lifestyle. In Lifestyle you and your partner find what you like and explore those fantasies. Its a lifestyle. In Pro you have to fulfill and be someone else's fantasy and become it.
Through Gamagori in Tana I play out either side
Personal/lifestyle is an agreement and compromise
While Pro is like commission.
That's how I've always written it.
yup. Do what they want, not always what you want
but you get to wear rubber and corsets
As a rigger, its easy they just say "tie me up like this!" and I do it. With a Domme its "Be my Goddess"...that's a tall order
Lets see....in your area in the next couple of weeks you have a Ladies only Femdom meetup, A Worship Workshop/Play Party, A pay at the door fetish orgy with a Pro Domme in attendance
Where do you look through?
I'm never sure what looks legit.
everything is posted there now
its is the hub of the Kink Communities. Pros, Lifestyles, SSC, RACK, everyone is there posting events
local dungeons have private websites but anything posted on it will be posted on Fet
Obviously I gotta move to a bigger city
here in KY, even in Louisville there's like nothing on Fetlife
The problem is that with Chicago, its still....the Midwest. So everyone is kinky but no one talks about it. The Coasts have all the clubs and a super open lifestyle about the whole thing.
Here is still very behind closed doors.
All that Cheese and Corn Fed Christian Values!
lotta race stuff here in KY
and a weekly humpday coffee munch
