AUSTRALIA – I wince as Mistress Elaina hands me the flogger. I don’t want to hurt him… or do I? “He’ll say his safe word if it’s too hard, right?” I ask hesitantly. “You won’t do it too hard,” Elaina affirms. He is Elaina’s ‘pain slut’, a man in his early 40s who’s a regular client of her dominatrix services — and, for today, he’s my client, too. Somewhat reassured, I stroll over to where he’s bending, stark naked, over a leather bondage bench and awkwardly flick the tassel flogger across his butt cheeks. It barely makes an impact, so I try again, this time mimicking Elaina’s technique, starting with a reassuring hand to establish skin-on-skin contact, then a verbal warning before a hard strike with the flogger. He squeals, giving me a surprisingly gratifying sense of triumph.
It may come as a surprise — given that young people are apparently kinker than ever — but this is my first time spanking someone. Although I’ve long been interested in embracing dominance in the bedroom, it’s rarely felt within my reach; on the rare occasion that I have been asked to take charge, for example, I’ve always found myself freezing up with nerves. And so, I did what any dominant-curious woman would do: I signed up to a dominatrix masterclass (duh!).
