How did you start working as a Domme? Like most regular jobs, domination
begins with training. Obviously, you won't find it on the local
community college course list, but at most big cities in the western
world, domination houses will provide training for apprentice
mistresses. In 1999, I answered a wanted ad and became an apprentice at a
domination house in Sydney. I got a limited amount of training, firstly
through observing other mistresses in sessions and then slowly
participating as a helper in sessions. Within two weeks, I was
conducting sessions on my own (looking back that was quite rushed, yet
there was a shortage of Mistresses where I was " thrown in the deep end"
and had to learn rather quickly). I eventually moved to another
domination house where I got more technical training and later opened my
own independent studio in 2003. From 2004 to 2006, I toured USA, Europe
and Asia. My world tour deserves it's very own article, as I had such
excellent adventures.Though my start as a pro-domme was rather
straight-forward, building the insight to catch the wanted ad on the
newspaper and the courage to answer it was a long process that has been
with me since a very early age. Anyone can wield a whip and call
themselves "Mistress" and even many of them can be rather skilled in
BDSM techniques. However no one can perform the job of dominatrix
without being naturally dominant. Perhaps being an only child for the
first six years of my life made me a bit of a spoiled princess. It is
not far from the truth, as my ancestry goes back to a Portuguese Baron
and a French Countess. Growing up in Brazil, where even middle class
families can afford to have maids, I have become accustomed to being
waited on hand and foot, while at the same time learning to show
kindness, patience and respect towards those that serve me (as a true
queen should). As a child, my manners were impeccable to such extent
that my classmates nicknamed me "Milady" (trying to tease me, while it
had the opposite effect!). Still, I was never bratty or bossy. I never
had the need to. Friends would often join in games I invented and be
happy to follow my instructions and guidance. I even had an obsession
with rubberized shoes at age three! Talk about a true fetishist. And
yes, I tied up and tortured my Barbies. Every so often, I get another
childhood memory showing streaks in my dominant and fetishist nature. It
all seems so clear when put together. Even so, though the tendencies
were there, I only blossomed into BDSM as a teenager.
I first learned
about BDSM in the early 90's via the internet. Chatting online, I
discovered role-playing and fellow chatters soon questioned me if I was
into S'n'M. I didn't even know what that stood for. But I was
immediately curious and my exploration began. I devoured books, movies
and all manner of information I could get. I went to fetish parties and
played little games with friends and lovers. Still, it wasn't my only
preoccupation as I was studying at university, so my development was
gradual. When coming to Sydney (Australia) for a study abroad program, I
was exposed to life in a western city and stumbled onto the Hellfire
club. Until then, I had only played with people I knew. But the
atmosphere drew me to engage with others in the club. An impressed
submissive asked me where I worked as a domme. "What!? I can do this for
work?!" The rest is history.
