USA – Dominatrix and fetish producer Astro Domina tells UNILAD the ‘strangest’ requests she’s received and which requests she refuses to entertain
Astro Domina went from working three jobs ‘all day, every day’ for three years to make ends meet to owning her own dungeon in Washington, Seattle, being a creator on My.Club – an AI-version fan club platform – and raining in half-a-million dollars a year.
Looking back on the last decade of being in the sex industry, she tells UNILAD some of the strangest requests she’s received and one’s she refuses to entertain.
The decision to become a dominatrix
Astro moved from the Philippines to Las Vegas when she was 21 years old, and was ‘forced to start fresh’ because her family didn’t support her move and challenged her to make it in the US on her own.
On top of studying architecture at school, Astro flung herself into three jobs to earn a living, however, after ending up ‘burnt out’ from working ’12 hour days’ ‘for three years straight non-stop,’ she resolved to try and find ‘alternative ways to make money without having to mentally and physically kill [herself]’.
Being ‘kinky’ and ‘dabbling’ in the world of fetishes herself, Astro decided to take the plunge into becoming a dominatrix and cam girl.
And she now runs her own business with two employees and a schedule she’s in control of.
Over 10 years into the industry, Astro has since revealed to UNILAD there are still certain requests which surprise her.
Common requests
Astro explains the most common requests she receives include fetishes such as cuckholding – being cheated on – pegging – where someone wears a strap on and performs anal sex – humiliation and female domination.
Oh, and people with a ‘fart fetish’ – which has even led to Astro being gifted a house in Amsterdam from a client with that desire.
While a ‘fart fetish’ may seem strange to you and me, it’s not to Astro, but there are some requests she’s received which even she’s had to Google – with macrophilia being one of them.
Strangest requests
Astro explains macrophilia – also known as ‘giant fetish’ – is where ‘clients want to be dominated by a giant, 30-foot woman’.
“In this little scenario or fantasy of theirs, they want to be shrunken down into an ant size human being,” Astro continues. “And at the end of each scenario, they either want to be eaten, which is called War fetish they want to be also what do you call it? This crushed by either my foot or my ass? So there’s many different ways to that.”
She says: “So that’s pretty odd. And it’s not I think, I would love to say that it’s a pretty common fetish, but it’s really not.
“The giantess fetish is a very tight community, and they all support each other, which is absolutely amazing.”
However, there are also some requests which Astro doesn’t feel comfortable fulfilling and has had to decline.
Requests Astro refuses
Astro explains she feels ‘uncomfortable’ when asked to do a role play where she has ‘to be an 11-year-old or a 10-year-old’ or when she’s asked about beastiality – performing sexual acts with animals.
“I just absolutely will not tolerate [it],” she says.
Astro adds: “There’s quite a few more, but those are the main two where I’m just like, ‘What’s wrong with you?'”
But what happens when Astro says no? Well, the dominatrix explains there’s enough ‘respect’ between her and clients that they don’t push her to adhere to their requests – particularly if she’s used her safe word or brought out the ‘alpha dominant’ side of herself.
And a sense of ‘community’ alongside ‘respect’ are two aspects of the sex industry which frequently come up in my discussion with Astro.
Why safe spaces for kinks and fetishes are so important
Astro notes just because she’s a dominatrix doesn’t mean she doesn’t show the ‘human side’ of herself to clients, both to remind them she’s an ‘actual real person’ but also to ensure there’s ‘a lot of trust’ between herself and people who come to her with their fetishes, fantasies and kinks.
The dominatrix explains how ‘important’ she believes it is for people to have ‘safe spaces to be able to vent, to be able to act out their fetishes, to be able to role-play and live their fantasies, even just for a short period of time’.
She continues: “If you have these fantasies […] building up inside of you and and there’s just no way for you to have an outlet for it, it comes out in different ways. For example, at work, you might, some of your colleagues might notice that you’ve been more irritable […] and it also comes out in in your own household where your wife or your children might notice that you’re also being more irritable, and you seem to become like a different person.
“It’s amazing how having an outlet for these kinds of fetishes just just makes you a better person after you scratch your kinky itch.”
Astro also has a lot of clients who come to her because their partners ‘are just not kinky’ or they don’t share the same fetishes.
She resolves: “When all that is said and done, they go home happy and […] they become a better husband or a better boyfriend to their partners.”
