Here’s part of a piece from the New Statesman<\/a>, by the glorious Mistress Magpie<\/a>, on how the Nordic Model of criminalising the clients of sex workers will affect professional dominatrices:<\/p>\n

‘…I decry the Nordic Model because it\u00a0undermines\u00a0sex worker safety and strengthens moralism in the name of preventing trafficking, even as it ensures that all sex work is driven deeper underground. To become a dominatrix is to enter a caring profession; to establish rapport with a client is delicate and difficult, especially when a session involves physical or psychological torment. If hiring us becomes illegal, how can a client entrust himself to our care? \u201c[Kink] is already widely stigmatised in society, so clients have a greater need for privacy and discretion than more mainstream sexual orientations require. Clients already face the threat of losing their reputations, jobs and families if outed, and criminalisation just adds one more layer of risk,\u201d says\u00a0Ms Slide, an experienced London dominatrix (pictured below).<\/em><\/p>\n

Today, British dominatrices fall into a grey area, sometimes overlooked by law enforcement but subject to\u00a0archaic laws\u00a0banning \u201cdisorderly houses.\u201d Generally, we don\u2019t offer sex, so we don\u2019t yet know whether we would fall under the aegis of a Nordic-style law in Britain. We do know, though, that sex workers in Nordic Model countries\u00a0suffer decreased income and increased risks; Laura Watson, spokeswoman of the stalwart\u00a0English Collective of Prostitutes, says that workers report new complications, such as client reluctance to call from unblocked phone numbers or pay deposits. Worse, criminalisation will inevitably filter the client pool, discouraging those who are unwilling to break the law. \u201cThe focus of the police will be on criminalising the clients rather than on the safety of sex workers,\u201d says Watson. \u201cThat\u2019s already the case, and it\u2019s a complete disaster; for example, the police have already said that they will sit outside the flats, waiting to catch clients; in Sweden for example they are using phone surveillance to catch clients, so they\u2019re tapping sex workers phones,\u201d she says…’<\/em><\/p>\n
