Mistress Justine Shankar

Another excellent idea; punishing men who abuse their positions of authority for nefarious purposes is one of my favorite punishment/role play dynamics. Sinning priests most definitely deserve their comeuppance; a harsh spanking with a cross comes to mind.

Sensory deprivation is another of my absolute favorite activities; I love playing with the vulnerability, fear, and anticipation that comes with it. No time like the present to explore this I think this could be especially fun as a multiple domme session with one or more mystery Mistresses. This is really powerful to me. When done right, I think BDSM can be a way to heal past wounds that are still with us, recreating conditions that harmed us in the past but taking control where we previously had none.

I'm loving reading all these responses! So interesting to hear what activates everyone and what you appreciate about this dynamic. The objectification, consensual nonconsent, and table-turning aspects of what you've mentioned are especially compelling to me.

I have a special love for humiliation and degradation, a big part of which is how personal and individual it is. What can roll off one person's back can cut to the core of another, and vice versa. For those of you who share this interest from the other side: what are your key humiliation/degradation triggers, and why (also totally understandable if they are beyond explanation)? Particular words, phrases, dynamics, scenarios, roles that ignite you? I'll start: I love role play centered around exposing and using a greedy slut, deploring their sloppy and unrefined desire -- only rectifiable through strict training. I also find revealing and punishing ill-behaved male perverts deliciously cathartic. Your turn...

I agree, a number of things could be particularly apt.

This topic reminded me of some BDSM porn that caught my fancy a while back, and finally found it! It's on kink.com here: https://www.kink.com/shoot/41740. This in particular isn't femdom, but I think this dynamic could easily translate into a multiple-domme scene with female saints or nuns punishing a sub for their sins, and re-baptizing them at the end incorporating some spitting.

GDH, very envious of those travel plans! The extent of my interest in snowboarding/skiing is sipping a nice scotch swaddled in fur back at the lodge, haha, but NOLA is definitely on my travel wishlist early next year. Having gone to church every Sunday through my teens and sang in the church choir for many years (far as I may have ended up from that belief system, haha), this time of year has me thirsty for some good Christian roleplay. Virgin Mary exacting divine retribution upon the men in her community who shunned her for carrying a child unwed. A magi coming bearing the gift of a chastity cage and his belt, ready to be locked up and tortured for the the Lord. An altar boy caught stealing communion wine and facing harsh punishment. The possibilities are endless... anyone else into these scenarios?

I'm really enjoying seeing all the support and encouragement here, as well as hearing all your stories of starting out in the BDSM world. I think there's also a flipside to the 'fantasy gap': sessioning with Mistress can open you up to kinks, fetishes, and interests you didn't even know you had! One of my favorite parts of sessioning is the ever-continuing process of mutual discovery it can be. I definitely discovered my love of face-slapping (among others) for example at the Fortress, and subs have recently offered me some really fun, intense role play scenarios that I've found incredibly dynamic.

I wish my spoken Arabic and French were good enough to do this, I'm intrigued! Going on my list of goals for next year. How is the Japanese going? I've always wanted to learn but it seems like a daunting task, haha. It's very beautiful, however. I think this could make for an interesting dynamic, particularly in an interrogation or slave training scenario (teaching certain words and phrases, and punishing you for getting them wrong). I also like the element of forcing a sub to read and be attentive to a Mistress' nonverbal communication.

Music to my ears! Bastinado is one of my personal favorites, and I love the idea of alternating tickling with caning until you're begging for mercy (and then some).

I can definitely see how we could be uniquely motivating, shall we say What about this dynamic appeals to you all, if you've thought about it?

Very much agree with Mistress Rey, in that having experienced harassment continuously from my early teens on (as has been the case with every woman I know), this does not surprise me at all. It remains very risky to report, as attested to by how many of these experiences resulted in retaliation and isolation that forced many victims out of their respective industries. Another thing I'm thinking about with all of this is: if these men felt this comfortable abusing well-known actresses with their own clout in the industry, how many more stories are we not hearing from women in far more vulnerable positions who had to interact with these people. It's really the tip of the iceberg, to my mind. As for enjoying these people's work, I think there is so much talent that is shut out of Hollywood based on the fucked up system of power that gatekeeps who's in and who's out. Which includes those who were pushed out of the industry due to harassment and abuse. So I'm fine with casting these voices out and making room for all the talent and brilliance that their presence has silenced for so long.

I think you'll find we have some fairly "unorthodox" - and effective - treatments up our sleeves

Medical scenes can be a lot of fun, and offer many different possible dynamics. Sadistic examination is one route, but sensual can also be exciting: i particularly like the vulnerability of the patient role and the quiet, understated dominance of the doctor. Are there particular activities that excite you?

This is so interesting! I love double domme sessions in general for this reason; the chemistry that happens when two dominant personalities come together is always special, and such fun to explore.

I very much agree on caning; the marks it leaves are lovely and precise, it's one of my favorite things about this form of corporal. I'd encourage you to call and talk to booking! We are well-accustomed to introducing those new to kink to BDSM, and exploring your interests as they evolve.
