For me it is the simple joys of life - amazons in action! Those gorgeous women that take on any action scene, and own it. Of course, it helps if they have certain attributes too, which are generally unfeasible for the action I hope to see ;¬) Segio Argones was a master of cartooning this form, mostly because he did could throw it into his comics casually, he never made it 'a thing'. Sadly, the best link I can find is this cover: http://images.darkhorse.com/covers/11/11739.jpg And who can forget the inimitable Leelu in the 5th Element: (yes, I also have a huge crush on Eunice Huthart, the stunt double for this scene and many more)

Ooh, a new Luc Besson movie - it should probably be quite good too! (As befits a movie taking Your name)

Oh my! The though of Mistress Kang standing there, fist coiled and ready for action, staring me down… I got goosebumps and quite lost, what was the topic again?

I'm afraid I'm hoping you will see less of me. Addictions scare me, so my plan is to use trips to The Fortress as reward for a self improvement program. Every time I lose 10lbs, I earn a pass - so there should be exactly 10 lbs less of me each time I visit ;¬) Not sure about parachutes, but if we're diving deep I should probably pack the SCUBA...

'No' seems to be a word that takes on a new meaning when you pass the threshold of The Fortress! But how could you turn down gut punches from the delightful Mistress Kang?! (and I better run for the hills before I get my own offer I dare not refuse!)

Well, I am fresh from my very first session last weekend, and now feel like I am the world expert on what to do! Not really, fetish is entirely personal and there is no reason to believe what works for one will work for any other. I do think I found some ideas that might help you discover what works for you though (with the help of the Ladies here). You can also read the two threads I started to see how I approached my session, if that helps. The key thing to understand though is that the whole idea of 'fetish' is truly personal. I cannot suggest what you should try, any more than I should try, nor should you feel a need to emulate others who are 'doing it right'. In my case, I am not a classic 'submissive' and any scene that involved humiliation and service would not have worked for me. I lean more as a masochist (but not a very strong one!) and had much more fun with a scene directed towards my suffering at the hands of The Mistresses. In preparing for my session, I realized what mattered most to me was getting the mood right, so most of my discussion prior to the session was on how we would get started, some outlines of the kind of roles we would play, but not trying to nail things down *too* hard, as the Mistresses creative streak is what makes magic in the session. Also, looking for a shopping list of fetish ideas will lead to a crammed session, where you don't get to enjoy any one thing. With no clear focus, you would probably come away with little idea after the event whether any of those ideas were really for you. Find the two or three things that are most of interest, and then comes the hard part. Be brave, frank, and tell the Mistresses you plan to session with what you *really* want. Don't go deep into detail, but provide them enough to incorporate it into play, and trust that they will recognize and know what to do. In my case, I knew I had one very specific thing I wanted to incorporate, and one broad area of curiosity that also quite terrified me. I had a broader list of things that I knew I actively did not want to try, but to keep the session flowing I tried to break this into two lists: i/ no, not ever! ii/ no, unless Mistress really likes it and wants to incorporate it for Her own reasons In the end, I got a hint of something that landed between my 2 lists might occur (enough to worry me!) but it never actually happened. The real magic of the night was something I would never have thought to put in any list, for or against. so trusting and letting the Mistresses build the final scene can be very rewarding - especially if you really do have little idea what you want to explore at the moment. I will say my experience tells me the Ladies of The Fortress are probably amongst the most skilled and talented in the art, and as a beginner i am truly glad I made the right choice to start here. They really get a sense of what drives you, conjure a scene that will work for you, and then play their parts very well to be sure to include you as part of what is now *their* scene - and it is very hard to fake that personal touch, I believe they really do care.

As an unexpected (and very welcome!) bonus I got to meet Mistress Koi yesterday as she crashed in on my encounter with Mistresses Kang and Zhao. I now fear slaying the monster may be beyond me, but a quest is a quest, and a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do...

I say nothing! If i learned one lesson last night, it was don't say anything that can be immediately used against you! Sadly (or not) I was a bad study

Thanks again for a great night out Mistress Kang. You may not consider yourself a foodie, but you found the best part of the meal on the night - thank you for persuading me to try the fish-skin, I would have really missed out otherwise. Mistress Zhao's suggestion that she might make me lick the plate clean in the restaurant was hysterical though - I nearly broke character, and she dialed back right away, but it was a wonderful preview of what was still to come I'm not sure that there is anything would surprise me on the range of the Fortress Ladies abilities now. I suspect I will be pleasantly surprised by the depth each visit though. You and Mistress Zhao set up a fun dynamic, and it was a pleasure to be your latest play toy for a few precious hours.

Anubis, I am a relocated Brit so seeing exactly what you mean about both a blessing and a curse, but from the other shore! I'm afraid it all comes down to self-restraint at this point, but I usually need help applying my restraints - I'm doomed! I figured my first visit was my only chance to play ignorant of The Fortress and the games to come. Well, I still have little clue about future games, but certainly cannot pretend to be an unwilling participant :¬) The next scenario where I voluntarily turn up for round 2 all be interesting to plan.

Thank You Mistress Zhao, I would say the pleasure was all mine, but I think that was just the pain. There were enough laughs going around that I think we all had fun I now need to work on a reasonable definition for 'soon'!

I am fresh back from my first session yesterday, which also featured Mistress Zhao, and I really wish I had come up with this quote. That really does some up a most remarkable lady. I now need to find a more wicked quote to describe her partner-in-crime from last night, Mistress Kang... I suspect Howard is right, and we lucked out picked a great choice of Mistress for a first session.

Breaking in a Beginner with Mistresses Kang and Zhao [Warning - long post. Short version: The Fortress must be experienced to be believed, the dream of a lifetime and the Mistresses are amazing!] If you are reading even this far and have not yet booked a session with The Fortress, then I know you have a curiosity than can be satisfied only by booking a date with these fabulous ladies - it genuinely is an experience not to be missed. Don't cheat yourself, just do it! I am a classic unreformed nerd, who has always been extremely shy arond women if anything romantic/sexy came up, so have long built up fantasies of powerful women taking advantage and not giving me the luxury of shyness, as the only way I could imagine getting past that barrier. Mistresses Kang and Zhao graciously agreed to play these roles for me on a Dinner and Domination date (yes, the nerd gets to play D&D with a real dungeon) and we also extended the session with an extra hour in The Fortress so that I would not feel rushed at any point. The format was that I have been chosen as victim from an invented dating site, for a game between the two Mistresses for who can have most fun messing with an up-tight shy guy who clearly wants more than he will ask for. They are to lure me back to The Fortress and seeing just how far I am prepared to tolerate their games for the thrill of just being involved. We were playing with two safewords, one of which I can use without breaking the game, and the other to comminicate a serious problem - hopefully never used. Mistress Kang is a delight for this kind of a game, and suggested she could play particularly well with Mistress Zhao. To make it easier to stay in character, I scheduled a session a week before, to go through the details of what I really wanted in terms of play-time at the Fortress, but mostly tried to set the mood and left the Mistresses free to amuse themselves after working out the limits. In general, I am looking for sensations, and not at all driven by more traditional sub activities like foot/body worship and drinking 'champagne'. We agreed to meet for dinner at the Yunnan Kitchen in Chinatown as I had heard great things about the menu which tried to be Chinese tapas, and hoped to score points with good food! Not sure if I scored any, but the food was ptetty good. The Mistresses were great company and it was very easy to forget why we were here and what would be coming next :¬) After dinner was over, Mistress Kang suggested that it had been a fun 'date' and I might want to come over and take a look at that small business I knew she run, and see what it was all about... (in story I am still playing naive here We get back to their 'office' and it id suggested I wait in the Steel room, presumably named after a business partner of the same name... The room was clearly not what I should have been expecting on a blind date, and I conclude that clearly Mistress Kang is in the movie props business ;¬) A few minutes later, the Mistressses joined me again. They had take advantage of the break to change into some less comfortable outfits and I could not resist, they were quite simply stunning in the costumes they chose, which were tightfighting latex/leather outfits seen on the website, and some seriously stunning boots. I was at a loss. Before I knew what was happening the Mistresses has removed my shirt (for easier access to sensitive places) and were already tying me up. My plan had been to resist at this point so that a little power might have been needed to keep me in line, but I was so stunned by the new outfits that I was already in deep trouble and before I knew what was happening I had one arm and one leg tied to furniture, and the others were well on their way. It was known in advance that I was particularly curious about nipple-play, so this would take a fair part of what would follow. The Mistresses also took some delight in taunting me with their skimpy costumes, from a tied position where I could not longer do the shy/polite thing and look away - what was a lot more fun than I wanted to admit! It was at this point Mistress Kang chose to reveal that she had been 'reading my diaries' and knew that I fantasized about kidnap scenarios like this, and that she and Mistress Zhao were now going to play a game to see who could be the first to extract my safeword (remember, we are playing with two so that I could use one 'safely' without feeling *too* embarrassed). I think Mistress Kang won without the first 5 minutes, and there was a lot of the night left to fill! The different natures of the two Mistresses became clearer as the night progressed though, and they really do have a great dynamic when playing together. Mistress Kang is the bigger tease and can play a really mean bad-cop when the need arises! Mistress Zhao is much more nurturing, helping you through the trials placed in front, and playing really well with some of the lighter elements like tickling. Although I had come looking for harder play (which I doubt I could have actually taken) this was the big surprise that I really enjoyed, and possibly why Mistress Zhao played into that role as much. I imagine an interrogation scene where this pair play good-cop/bad-cop would be intense, and is something that should seriously be considered! Various toys came and went over the next couple of hours, with the Mistresses talking them up, even when I could not see, just to be sure I was apporopriately nervous (or more!) My final treat was to have my nipples flogged by three amazing Mistresses until I used my safeword (I may have used it more than once) and so head home with a reassuring sting rubbing against my shirt, beckoning me back for another visit. Overall, I think the Mistresses 'read' me very well. I thought I wanted a much harder (more painful) session than I received, but I got what I actually needed. I am too new to this to accurately describe what I am looking for, but they found it for me anyway. It was a most fabulous night. I am now facing up to the only true danger that I believe The Fortress poses - there is a serious risk I could get addicted to future visits! It may be a risk I need to take (or I may just be addicted already). Final thought for anyone who has not yet visitted - don't try to nail down your ideas too tightly, as the Mistresses will use their creative freedom well. I essentially went into this looking for some playful pain (that is my treat) but came away having had much more fun with the playful personalities of the Mistresses themselves. That really is the magic ingredient of The Fortress.

As they say, it is not about the destination, it is about the journey. Or in this case, it is not about the slaying, but the questing (and the nipples!)
