Here’s an excerpt from a brilliant “Sexual Manifesto” article by Christine Borden for online magazine “SF Appeal”:

“…I am sure plenty of people enjoy the type of femdom porn Kink(.com) produces. It’s hot to see a beautiful woman dominate and otherwise torture a pathetic, grovelling man-boy. But for some femdom worshippers, it’s even hotter to see beautiful women dominate and otherwise torture men who look like they can hold their own in a 5-on-1 street knife fight. You know how they say “the bigger they are the harder they fall?” I don’t know about you, but there is something visually stunning in watching a man who looks like he could throw a woman over his shoulders instead fall to his knees and submit so thoroughly and obediently to his Mistress. Oh, and there is nothing small about his penis to humiliate.

Femdom (and D/s porn in general) is so varied that it’s hard to find a consistent stream of what meets your arousal standards. I like Kink.com because of its production quality and its honourable reputation, but just like in mainstream vanilla porn, if I want the male bodies I want, I have to turn to gay porn. Which works sorta, except when you remember that this is femdom we’re talking about. You know, with the whole woman-in-charge thing? Oh yeah, that.

I understand that a lot if not most porn is made with a male audience in mind, either consciously or subconsciously. But this seems like the kind of porn more women could enjoy, even if you don’t consider yourself kinky. Push him on the bed for once! Smack ‘im around and don’t let him cum until you’re sufficiently satisfied with his cunnilingus skills. Girlfriends, sisters, womyn, vagina warriors, amirite? (Eh? Just me?)…”

Every Pro-Domme dreads the thought of a client dropping dead in her care. No matter how many provisions we make for pre-existing medical conditions or obvious physical hazards, we know that there is a risk, just as with any other situation of physical or emotional exertion a person may partake in – whether it be sport, sex or just sitting on the sofa in front of a particularly tense episode of Eastenders.

On Tuesday, a man died at the Belgium premises of Mistress Lucrezia. She and her assistant Juno were arrested and charged with “assault and battery leading to death, without intent to kill.” Until the autopsy, it would be foolish for anyone to speculate on what actually killed the gentleman and whether the Dominatrices should bear any legal responsibility.

However, the Daily Mail have, of course, speculated. In their article, they decide that nitrous oxide, used by dentists, midwives and many Pro-Dommes who offer medical services, must be the reason that the man later collapsed when showering. Repeatedly referring to the two Dominatrices as “prostitutes”, the Mail explains that the anaesthetic is used “to prolong sadistic sex sessions”.

Mistress Lucrezia clearly states on her website that sexual services are not offered. “As with any other real Pro-Domme,” she writes, “no sex or body contact is allowed and will never be performed”.

However, having quoted most of the text from her home page, the Daily Mail decides to leave out this part. Instead, it describes the circumstances surrounding the man’s death as a “sado-masochistic sex session”. As a result, here are some of the enlightened comments left by its online readers:

“Hahaha, what a fool! If he hadn’t died then, he’d probably have had a slow death from an STD, so better to go out quickly! Disgusting people!”

“Two perverts torture another pervert to death.”

“It is better for perverts to get their kicks from ‘professionals’ than to wander the streets preying on innocent women or kids.”

“Sad that people seem to think sex is the be all and end all in life.”

“People who follow this act are satanists!”

“dirty nasty woman, rot in your cell!”

And, living up to stereotypes:

“Yet another reason we should keep away from Europe.”
