Mistress Justine Shankar

I love this idea; subs, read up and impress me.

Alas; a girl can dream, haha

Just got my toes done, and whenever I get a pedicure these days I can't help but think of the foot devotees among you all. I always get a kick out of envisioning a sub-staffed salon that goes heavy on the foot massages Collars and leashes for targeted direction included, of course. As well as crops for all patrons to make sure service is up to our satisfaction.

Your sph is second to none, hahaha... I do wish I could have seen this.

I wouldn't be so sure, haha. Natural selection in action.

Thank you for this lovely review, MC! You were quite the trooper, submitting to my determined tickle torture after you'd revived... I'm impressed with your resilience, haha. It was a pleasure to session with you; a committed role play is always such fun, and I love getting the chance to indulge my love of discipline and humiliation. Glad to hear you made it back ok, and that you are attending to your health.

This was lovely to read; you were in quite capable hands with Mistresses Zito and Von Dietz. One of the greatest pleasures of BDSM play, to me, is the opportunity to explore and utilize many different styles of domination, from stern disciplinarian to teasing humiliation to "cute sadism", as you put it. Hope to see you back at the Fortress

How exciting! Looking forward to continuing exploring with you, should you end up back in the States.

I, too, share everyone's love of fall fashion; leather, fur, and tall boots are my favorites, as are oxbloods and deep greens.

Thank you for introducing yourself, and welcome to the Fortress I'm very much looking forward to our session next week. Tickling and spanking are two of my favorite instruments of torture; between the two of them, I'm sure I can coax the obedient submissive from your bratty exterior. And what's that you say about the mixed vegetables? I'll need to see some more enthusiasm in person -- for your own good, of course.

Count me in!

There's been some great advice here already! I think a tendency to overuse a safeword most often arises from trust issues between Domme and sub, and from fear of the deep vulnerability that submission entails. With regard to pain and physical limits, I think seeing a professional could be very helpful, as Mistresses are extremely practiced and careful in what we do -- we can push you to your limits in a safe, controlled, and experienced way. i think subbing, especially with a loving partner, can be incredibly deep and intimate in ways we don't know if we're prepared for. It can be a place where one's emotions, spirit, and physicality come together with an intensity we don't know how to handle, often have never experienced before. Weighty, uncharted territory can be terrifying in that we don't necessarily know how we'll react to certain parts of ourselves being pushed; do you trust your partner to be able to read your emotional and physical state when you're not verbal? I think it can be worth exploring the types of play you're most scared of slowly and deliberately, so you both can learn how the other reacts to a given activity/intensity and get a gauge on where you're at without using words. Importantly, so you yourself can gain some familiarity with your own reactions, and let yourself have them without judgment. Once you can trust someone to read you like this -- and alter play accordingly -- I think reliance on a safeword can lift.

Welcome back, Lonewolf! We're magnetic and motivating here at the Fortress, I know.

Lonewolf, do you find that your time away heightened your excitement/anticipation pre session?
