BRAND NEW PHOTO of the Minoan Snake Goddess priestess attire. Thanks to the Goddesses involved - photographer Kristyna Hessova & costume maker Asham Martini. There's another photo with my breasts out as per the c1650 BCE Goddess figurines but Twitter may not be able to handle it.

The famous 19th Century Governess female flagellant Theresa Berkley - may have chosen her name as a psuedonym.
Berkley means "birch tree meadow" in Scottish and Old English. And birches made into birch rods - were the favoured implement used on the bottoms of her clientele.

Is Villa Domme happening at an actual castle? Yes it's an actual castle, with substantial grounds. Previously we've held Villa Domme in a villa in Tuscany for two years running, with fabulous Mistresses (and subs / slaves) flying in from all over to attend.

I think masochists fantasise of a cruel selfish woman but in reality they need a woman who has empathy, some independence to fill her cup (or refill cup), finds new source inspiration to keep things interesting, plays with intelligence and knows what you need, & gives aftercare

Pegging was popularised after its appearance in the 1998 film 'Bend Over Boyfriend: A couple's guide to male anal pleasure', directed by Shar Rednour. The term "pegging" was itself coined by Dan Savage in 2001. See:

Sarah Bernhardt was famous for being assertive, sexually liberated and she took on masculine roles and attire flexibly as suited her desires in acting. The fedora was co-opted into women’s right movement.

This is a book which isn't on BDSM, but nonetheless an incredible book on sexuality and desire in relationships. Esther Perel's "Mating In Captivity". It speaks of the contradiction of reconciling our needs for security/comfort as well as adventure/novelty. I highly recommend it.

This is not a correct way to practice BDSM. You're actually very liable to do permanent damage to the kidneys or internal organs. Financially you will be liable for kidney transplant surgery. Ethically it's reprehensible. And skills-wise poor and I assume you've not had training.

PRICK, THORN, NETTLE!
The "botanicals" used by Dominatrix Theresa Berkley (prepared for TV):
* Ilex aquifolium (holly)
* Thorny Ulex (gorse / furze)
* Ruscus aculeatus (butcher's broom)
* Urtica dioica (stinging nettles)
Sounds ouchy.

I wonder if that's where I'm heading - that masochists like to be pushed (beaten down) to surrender (rather than submission), lose ego, and resurface in love and nurture. Even though they claim to want the cruel Venus, which they do, they also want aftercare understanding & love.
