UK – A woman who declares herself to be ‘the world’s oldest dominatrix’ has baffled This Morning viewers by revealing she doesn’t sleep with clients – just humiliates them.
Sherry from Swindon – who goes by the name Mistress Sophia – has high-rising clients including surgeons and politicians who turn to her to fulfil their desire to be mistreated and relinquish control.
Charging £120 an hour, Mistress Sophia uses them to clean her house, do her DIY, before flogging them, putting them in shackles and dressing them up in embarrassing costumes.
As a result, she is left feeling empowered, and declared: ‘I’m a masochist, darling.’
Speaking to Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, the 67-year-old – who has previously appeared on First Dates – said that she took on the job after a divorce from her husband.
Calling herself ‘a bit of a mouse’ before taking on the role, she was forced to get creative when money became tight and her job as a chef wasn’t paying the bills.
‘I happened to see this documentary about phone chat girls, and so I spoke to my children to make sure they were okay about it and I started doing that,’ she explained. ‘I realised that so many of the calls involved domination.
‘It was actually my daughter Amy that said you’re doing it on the phone for peanuts, why not do it for real?’
While some want punishment, others want to be humiliated and be submissive, and Mistress Sophia has a series of whips, chains, shackles and costumes to put them in – even sometimes taking them out for a walk around her area.
‘It’s great because you get stuff done around the house!’ Phillip admitted. ‘I mean there’s this one guy comes over and does your DIY, then he cane him, and then there’s another one that polishes your kitchen floor while he dances in a pink dress to the Nutcracker.’
‘I just love the adoration. I like the empowerment,’ the dominatrix added.
‘It isn’t sexual for me, it is purely the dominant part. I’m a very dominant person. I didn’t used to be but I am now. It’s kind of come out as I’ve got older, really, and made me a better person for it.’
Viewers found her hilarious – and couldn’t resist thinking she’s found a nifty life hack for those odd jobs needing to be done around the home
UK – Former soap star Ken Morley once “got a bit hot and bothered” over Barbara Knox’s outfit while filming ‘Coronation Street’, and he used to imagine his fellow cobbles co-star Julie Goodyear “as a dominatrix”
Ken Morley used to imagine his ‘Coronation Street’ co-star Julie Goodyear “as a dominatrix”.
The former soap star – who played supermarket manager Reg Holdsworth from 1989 to 1995 – admitted he had his own crushes on set, including Julie (Bet Lynch), who once gave him a slap after he kissed her toes.
He told The Sun newspaper: “She was another fantastic sex symbol and I often imagined her as a dominatrix – and she did at least slap me once.
“I remember doing this scene where she was on a bed and I was on the floor and I decided to kiss her bare toes, then run my tongue up her legs.
“As I reached her knee, Julie slapped me on the head and the whole place fell about laughing. It was then I realised we’d make a great comedy double act.”
The 77-year-old actor has also admitted he once “got a bit hot and bothered” over Barbara Knox’s (Rita Tanner) outfit on the cobbles.
He said: “For some inexplicable reason Barbara was wearing this fantastically sexy crinoline dress, and without thinking about it, I got a bit hot and bothered.
“As I waltzed out of camera shot, one of the floor managers came across to ask what was going on.
“When I explained something had come up, he suggested we take a few minutes’ break.”
Ken – who married his wife Susan in 1989 – also fancied Sherrie Hewson, who played his on-screen spouse Maureen, and he even had a thing for one of the ‘Corrie’ bosses.
He added: “Back then we all watched ‘Coronation Street’ in black and white, with characters like Albert Tatlock, Minnie Caldwell, Ena Sharples and Stan and Hilda Ogden.
“Leonard Swindley was a great character and Elsie Tanner, played by Pat Phoenix, we all loved her on screen.
“I must confess, decades later I fancied the executive producer Carolyn Reynolds. But we were both happily married and she was the boss.”
USA – It’s safe to say BDSM has entered the mainstream. But while the “Fifty Shades” craze revealed the not-terribly-surprising fact that a lot of folks (read: your mom and most of her friends) have a sexually deviant streak, the book and movie did not do a great job at educating the world about how to (safely) practice BDSM.
There’s still quite a bit of problematic misconceptions — especially regarding consent — to the wade through to get to the heart of what BDSM is all about.
But, as we all know, when battling stigma and personal bias, wading through misconceptions to find the truth is worth it. At the other end lies the potential for improved self-confidence, deeper self-knowledge, and intimacy on another level.
“Through kink I learned to own my power and found my voice. This helped me build my self-esteem and confidence in the boardroom and the bedroom,” Kenneth Play, 39, co-founder of International Sex Hacker and Educator, & Co-Founder of Hacienda Villa, an intentional sex-positive community.
You may want to jump right in, but, for the safety of everyone involved, it’s important to get some basics down first. Below we go over important rules, tips for getting started, and how to bring it up with a partner.
BDSM stands for bondage/discipline, submission/dominance, and sadism/masochism. These categories refer to a wide array of kinks and erotic practices.
Practicing BDSM is about a lot more than the act of having sex. In fact, “a scene” may not involve sex or, even touching, at all. You’ll find that many of the common themes — power dynamics, pain, humiliation, the taboo — are psychological in nature.
If you’re thinking that sounds intense, don’t worry! It’s completely up to you how deep you want to get and how far you want to go with something. In BDSM, enthusiastic consent is paramount: you and only you decide how you want things to go.
BDSM, defined
This is a very basic description of what the BDSM subcategories mean. And remember, every aspect of these types of play is consensual and talked about beforehand.
Bondage/discipline. Bondage refers to someone being physically restrained. Discipline refers to a set of rules and punishment, usually enforced by the dominant partner onto the submissive.
Submission/dominance. Sub/dom play is when one person, the sub (or bottom) permits the dom (or top) to essentially be in charge. This may be an agreement you make for one night of play or it may be a 24/7 arrangement.
Sadism/masochism. Sadism is the enjoyment of doling out pain. Masochism is the enjoyment of receiving pain. If you like both? Well, that’s what we call a sadomasochist.
With all distinctive cultures come an expansive vocabulary! This is by no means an exhaustive list but it’ll give you a start.

a post-scene ritual intended to help the dominant and submissive wind down and check in

USA – Neural Nets got into erotic hypnosis in the 90s. He was in his twenties, dating a woman deeply tranced in D/S (dominance and submission) play.
“She claimed she wanted to quiet her mind,” says the 46-year-old Baltimore resident. “I had her do ‘memory sessions.’ I wrote 100 degrading phrases for her to memorize on flashcards. She memorized them in order. In a memory session, she’d recite her mantras while naked and partially bound in front of a mirror. If she got the right answer, she’d get her clit stroked. If she got the wrong answer, she’d get the crop and start over. After one of these sessions, she kept mouthing her mantras well after we concluded and moved onto other games.”
At the time, Nets was a debate coach that had just moved to the mid-Atlantic to work for Georgetown. His experience led him down a rabbit hole where a burgeoning erotic hypnosis scene allowed him to explore the act of consensual control.
“I circulated my work only in private kink circles in the 90s,” he continues. “It later leaked, and it was used as the background for a lot of PornHub videos. It was really the equivalent of a leaked sex tape.”
After some negotiating, Nets was able to get credit for his work, leading to a successful Tumblr presence.
By now, you might be wondering: What exactly is erotic hypnosis? And even if you feel like you have a slight inclination, what you think you know about erotic hypnosis is likely wrong. Consider it to be an extension of a consensual kink as opposed to a manipulation tool.
Nets wants people to move away from the idea of erotic hypnosis as a trick.
“The public conceives of erotic hypnosis as a magic D&D spell,” he notes, “[while] actual practitioners see it as a consensual and mutual activity. Trying to hypnotize someone into exceeding their own preferences and boundaries isn’t ethical or even that possible.”
Nets is one of 50,000 members of r/EroticHypnosis, a subreddit “to discuss hypnosis used in erotic, sexy, and kinky contexts.” It’s a place where amateurs interested in the art of hypnosis can learn about the intricacies of heightened focus and concentration while indulging their own sexual interests by sharing content with one another.
For user Nathan H., erotic hypnosis is used as a means to connect with his partner and explore his own limits.
“One of the attractions to hypnosis is often the feeling of being in someone else’s control, just like with bondage play,” he explains. “That feeling of vulnerability can be very thrilling. In any sexual encounter, however, we need to keep our libido from overwhelming our good sense. As an in-person amateur hypnotist, I think the best thing you can do for yourself is to engage with people who talk about consent, limits, expectations, and rules.”
Like many subreddits, r/EroticHypnsis is extremely far from perfect.
“I think the largest problem is the view that hypnosis is, by definition, coercion,” notes Nathan. “We all need to be aware of coercive people in our lives and relationships, and take steps to protect ourselves against those influences. That includes not putting yourself in vulnerable positions with people you aren’t sure you can trust, in all areas. If we let someone we just meet handcuff us to the bed, we are not making good decisions or following the BDSM community’s rule of ‘safe, sane, consensual’ play.”
Nets, on the other hand, thinks the problem lies within the actual community as opposed to people misinterpreting erotic hypnosis as a concept.
“The erotic hypnosis community is a dumpster fire,” he states. “It’s genuinely impossible to screen out the constant influx of people pursuing the kink for the wrong reasons. Some people want to seduce and manipulate without adequate consent. Some people want hypnosis to fix them, and the community is fairly bad at maintaining the dividing line between therapy and eroticism. Some people just have overall magical expectations. Some people think that doing erotic hypnosis is a route to rapid recognition or an income boost for sex work.”
Nets believes the community needs to “attract and retain skeptics” to function normally.
“Most people outside of the community can recognize how alarming and implausible the overclaims are,” he continues. “Erotic hypnosis cannot physically kill you, create the Manson family, make you into a sexual Manchurian candidate, change your sexual orientation, or alter your physique. You wouldn’t know that by scrolling a community forum, though. There’s no check on bullshit and grifters, and it’s really ruined most of the community spaces.”
While the community is nothing short of frustrating for seasoned professionals like Nets and Nathan, r/EroticHypnosis is a wonderful spot for the curious. There are plenty of introductory posts for those who have no idea what they’re doing: how to get into a trance, suggestions for newcomers feeling frustrated by the limits of hypnosis, and no shortage of fan favorites.
“When you’ve decided to allow someone (or a video or audio file) to hypnotize you, find a relaxing place and time when things are not expected of you,” says Nathan. “Try to listen to what’s being said and how, instead of thinking about your feelings or expectations about the experience.”
Nathan believes erotic hypnosis should be treated as an exercise in mindfulness. Do and think about what you’re instructed to do and think about, without judging or waiting to see what’s going to happen. He says one should always keep in mind that erotic hypnosis is something you want to do.
“I’m a content creator, so I’d be remiss if I didn’t recommend myself,” says Nets. “If you’re a first-timer, demand more from your content creators. Don’t settle for someone droning awkwardly too much bass. Don’t buy into this as if it’s religion. You don’t have to suspend disbelief and play along for days and weeks. That’s a grifty myth. If you listen and you think it’s boring garbage, it probably is. There are plenty of good actors and producers out there. You should be empowered to expect better.”
USA – AN alleged recruiter for Jeffrey Epstein has confessed she introduced him to three women and shopped for sexy outfits — but denies she took part in any abuse.
Rina Oh, 41, confessed in the podcast Broken: Seeking Justice that she dated Epstein and that he requested she bring him good-looking women including former model Marijke Chartouni.
However, Oh denied allegations from Chartouni and Virginia Roberts—another accuser who mentioned Oh in her memoir—that she perpetrated or or directly participated in any sexual abuse they experienced.
“I’m just letting you know that what she accused me of doing is a complete fabricated lie,” Oh said of Roberts’ memoir.
In the podcast reported by the Daily Mail on Wednesday, Oh admitted that she participated in numerous activities involving Epstein, the American financier and convicted sex offender who died in August 2019.
Oh opened up about Epstein apparently asking her to take Roberts, then 17, on a shopping trip to find a “little school girl outfit.”
When podcast host Tara Palmeri asked Oh if she thought it was strange that Epstein wanted a 17-year-old young woman dressed like a school girl, Oh responded, “I wasn’t asking questions. I just did as I was told.”
Oh was evasive when Palmeri followed up on why she did not find Epstein’s demands alarming.
The mystery recruiter said, “I’ve brought three people to, to that place,” referring to Epstein’s mansion in New York, and that “when I’m, ready to talk about it, I’m gonna I talk about it.”
Oh said Chartouni, whom Epstein sexual assaulted, was one of the women she presented to him.
But Oh insisted: “My side of the story is I did not abuse anyone, period. People that knew about him wanted to meet him. And I brought those people there, period.”
“I met her very briefly. We didn’t really know each other too well,” Oh said of Chartouni.
“And I brought her because he kept asking me to bring your friends. So I brought her once.”
But in a subsequent interview for the podcast, Oh changed her storyline.
“I was in the room when Marijke and I were both victimized by Epstein,” Oh said.
Oh pushed back on claims Roberts made in her memoir and said, “I was nothing but nice to this girl.”
“And I actually wanted to hang out with her and she declined to hang out with me,” Oh continued.
“So we actually never spent any significant amount of time together except for that one shopping adventure.”
A draft manuscript of Roberts’ memoir that was among court documents that became public last August stated that Epstein met Oh at an art gallery where he bought some of her pieces.
The memoir alleges various sexual encounters, including that Epstein asked Oh to help Roberts massage him.
Oh, at the time about 21 years old, “loved bondage, whipping, hitting and cutting her sex partner with little sharp knives until they subdued (sic) to her punishment in agonizing pain,” Roberts wrote in the memoir.
In addition, the manuscript states that Epstein was “absurdly taken” with seeing Oh use whips and toys on Roberts, and rented an apartment for Oh.
Epstein had Oh and Roberts go shopping for “sexy outfits, sex toys and bondage material,” it states.
Roberts said that Oh “fit into the subservient category” that Epstein liked and that she had a “bubbly persona.”
Oh spoke on the podcast after being found in her New Jersey home by Chartouni, who has acted as a private investigator for Epstein’s victims.
AUSTRALIA – Sydney bondage photographer, Garth Knight, has been granted bail after spending almost a month in custody following his arrest for the alleged sexual assault of two models during photo shoots.
Knight, 48, was charged with sexual intercourse without consent and aggravated sexual assault, relating to alleged incidents occurring at a Surry Hills warehouse in 2005, and a Waterloo home in 2011.
He was initially denied bail after his arrest last month, but has now been granted a conditional release in return for a $480,000 bond, along with a series of conditions including being banned from any activity involving photographing nude persons or any women, or being present during any shoot involving a woman or naked person. According to The Australian, he must report daily to Redfern police station, and must not contact any woman who has modelled for him, with the exception of his partner.
Knight primarily uses photography to showcase installations he creates using humans and rope. He describes himself as a ‘sculpturalist’, who ‘photographs rope and bodies as sculptural forms’, using a Japanese erotic bondage tradition called Shibari. Both alleged victims were tied up at the time of the alleged assaults.
Police have been investigating the photographer since May, when a woman filed a report with Police regarding the alleged incident from 2005. A second report then came from a woman who alleged she was sexually assaulted during a photo shoot at a Waterloo home in 2011 when she was 33.
When Knight was initially denied bail his solicitor, Phillip Ryan, claimed the photographer had previous sexual contact with one claimant prior to the alleged incident, and had discussed engaging in sexual contact with other model prior to the photo shoot.
USA – There’s a dominatrix that’s helping to convert Donald Trump supporters into Joe Biden supporters.
There’s really something new every day in 2020, especially with the upcoming presidential election. Both parties are pulling out all the stops to get Trump out of office. The Daily Beast reports that groups such as the Lincoln Project and Republican Voters Against Trump are gathering all anti-Trump Republicans to help sway fellow members of their party. On the opposite end, Democratic-leaning groups like Vote Trump Out are also pushing for Biden to win.
But there’s also another force of nature that’s at work, and that’s Trump supporters who have an interesting sex kink. According to the Daily Beast, kinky, submissive male Trump supporters with humiliation fetishes are reaching out to one woman to dominate them into voting for Biden. Empress Daisy Delfina is a Las Vegas-based professional dominatrix who has created “Trump Conversion Therapy,” a treatment for pro-Trump men.
Her ad for the therapy reads as follows: “Here’s your chance to get berated for being the degenerate Trump supporter you are. I reverse the brainwash you’ve succumbed to that made you into a Simple Stupid Drone. By using lethal mind f*cking language and making you repeat dumbass chants like your Bullshitter in Chief made you do to warp you into submission, I transfer your ownership to me for my personal gain and entertainment. Embrace that you need to be saved from being a Trump-bot. Call now to begin your Trump Conversion Therapy.” The therapy costs $1.99 a minute.
Delfina says the idea for Trump Conversion Therapy was sparked from her arguments with Trump supporters on Twitter. “I was already doing webcam and film work with humiliation fetishes. Ever since Trump got elected, I saw I was arguing with his supporters on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. I found my accounts getting banned for certain language. There was just so much rage on both sides, and I found myself in the comments humiliating the Trump supporters and just mocking their stupidity. I mocked how they’re not capable of independent and critical thinking. The fact that they can be sold anything. How easily they were manipulated and sold a bill of goods,” she said.
“I saw an article about Mike Pence talking about supporting programs targeted at gay people to get them to “change their sexual behavior”—which was widely interpreted as a dog-whistle for conversion therapy. So I tweeted out to the Trump supporters I was arguing with, ‘Hey, if you think gay conversion therapy works, let’s try Trump conversion therapy.’ Of course, the Trump supporters went ballistic over that. But they’re already on a pro Domme’s page—so I wasn’t too surprised when a few of them slid into my DMs saying they were interested in it. I was already doing small penis humiliation with a lot of these guys, so jumping to political humiliation wasn’t that much of a stretch.”
She added that the free attention she was giving Trump supporters made her want to capitalize off of it. “At one moment, I realized, “Wait a minute, I think this guy’s getting off on it.” Because here I am, a hot girl humiliating him, and he’s getting the attention for free. That’s when I decided, “I should get paid for this shit.” And also try to get them to vote for a different leader, a Democrat. So that’s when I put my ad for Trump Conversion Therapy up.”
During “Trump Conversion Therapy” a number of things can happen; Delfina says she may just argue with someone or the person may want to be punished for supporting Trump. “Maybe half the guys just want to argue. They’re not open to getting converted at all. They just call to start berating my liberal politics. And I’m like, ‘Hey if you want to pay me $1.99 a minute to argue with me, go right ahead. You’re not getting anywhere with me, and I’m happy to profit off your stupidity—just like your leader did.’”
She continued: “But the other half—the half I care about—is actually open to being persuaded. Many of them see what Trump has become, what he’s done, and regret their vote. So I tell them, ‘I can help you. You’ve been brainwashed. I can deprogram you.’ I studied cults in college, and when I saw Trump and his rallies, I thought, ‘This is just what cult leaders do.’ So his followers need to be deprogrammed, just as if they’d been in a cult—because they have.
She then described some moments from her sessions. “I had one Southern man call me and tell he was regretting his Trump vote. I asked him if he’d been to Trump rallies, and he said he had. So I asked him, “Which chant did you used to like the most at the rallies?” They like to chant—that’s part of the whole programming. With cults, do you notice that? All the chanting. Same thing with religion—chanting helps with the brainwash.
“He used to chant, ‘Lock her up! Lock her up!’ So I said, ‘Let’s make up a new one for you. Now you need to chant, “I’m Putin’s bitch!” So he starts screaming, ‘I’m Putin’s bitch!’ And then I start having him sing it—so he’s singing, ‘I’m Putin’s bitch!’ He has to sing it because music helps with the brainwash. I call it deprogramming, but in a way, I’m kind of brainwashing them myself. I started to notice that these Trump supporters were very easily influenced—they’re the kind of people who are susceptible to a cult. You can manipulate them. You can sell them anything, just like Trump did to get their votes. I’m pretty much using the same tactics that Trump used to manipulate them, except I’m manipulating and re-programming them to go the other way.”
Delfina shared some of her background and that her parents are from Puerto Rico. “My father is white, born on the island, and my mother is Black, born in Brooklyn. I was born in New York. I’m a Brooklyn girl. I grew up very poor, and started stripping when I was 18 just to survive. A client encouraged me to apply to college, and helped me fill out my applications. It took me eight years to graduate, as I studied part-time while I stripped to pay for it. After college, I moved to Las Vegas to continue my stripping career. I’ve been in the skin business for 24 years now. I started camming about 10 years ago and continue to this day. I do clips, phone sex, and private Skype sessions. I’m an activist with sex workers. And also I rescue dogs.”
When it comes to the racist Trump supporters, Delfina says she knows how to handle them. “One of the guys I was deprogramming—he had loved chanting ‘Build the Wall’ at Trump rallies. So I made him chant that, while he was sticking a hot pepper up his ass. I made him break it in there.”
IT was a trailblazing career cut short by a “moment of stupidity”, but today Frank Bough, who has died at the age of 87, is being remembered as one of the TV greats.
As one of Britain’s top presenters for over three decades, the ex-footballer fronted BBC sports programme Grandstand and launching the Breakfast TV show in 1983.
But in 1988, it all came crashing down amid lurid allegations of cocaine parties with prostitutes and four years later, he was pictured leaving a “dungeon party” at the flat of a dominatrix prostitute.
The star – who passed away in a care home last week – ducked out of the limelight after the revelations, but remained married to wife Nesta, the mother of his three sons.
He later revealed he regretted the lapse, but hoped to be remembered for the unflappable, reassuring style of presenting that endeared him to millions of TV viewers.
“It was a brief but appalling period in my life,” he said. “Don’t condemn my entire career for a brief episode I regret.”
Two years of pestering for BBC role
The son of an upholsterer from Stoke On Trent, Frank was born in 1933 and raised in Shropshire, where he went to a local grammar school before winning a scholarship to Oxford.
Frank met Nesta Howells while he was doing National Service and the couple married as soon as he left the army, going on to have three sons – David, Stephen and Andrew.
Despite landing a good job at ICI, Frank was so determined to become a broadcaster he pestered the BBC for two years before landing a slot on regional news programme, Home at Six, in Newcastle, which later became Look North.
His sports knowledge soon saw him taking over as presenter of Sportsview in 1964 and fronting BBC’s Sports Review of the Year, now Sports Personality of the Year, for 18 years.
He was also part of the commentating team for the 1966 World Cup, witnessing England’s legendary victory over West Germany to win the tournament.
But Frank’s most famous stint was as the face of the BBC’s flagship sports show Grandstand, from 1968 to 1982, covering everything from the Olympic Games and FA Cup finals to the Grand National.
His fellow presenters praised his ability to remain calm, whatever went wrong on the live show.
Michael Parkinson once remarked: “If my life depended on the smooth handling of a TV show he’d be the one I’d want in charge”.
But he later admitted he was under strain at times.
“There was a lot of bloodshed on the programme, I can tell you,” he said.
“The language and shouting I could hear in my earpiece was, at times, horrific! After four-and-a-half hours of that I would totter away absolutely knackered. It was hard but we were trying to make the best programme we could.”
In 1972 he began presenting Nationwide, the BBC’s early evening news programme and in the same year, he covered the Munich Olympics, which saw 11 members of the Israeli team murdered by the Palestinian terrorist group Black September.
“It was a bizarre situation,” he later said. “The athletics continued while people were getting killed.”
In a lighter moment, he famously appeared in a sketch on the Morecambe and Wise Christmas Show, singing There Ain’t Nothing Like A Dame, alongside Eddie Waring and Barry Norman.
The comedy show attracted a record-breaking 21 million viewers.
Scandal that ruined clean cut image
When the BBC decided to launch the first live breakfast show in 1983, Frank was a natural choice.
His laid-back style and love of cosy jumpers were an instant hit with Breakfast Time viewers and co-presenter Nick Ross praised the “sense of serenity and reassurance” he brought to the show.
But his image as a clean-cut family man was shattered in 1988 after revelations that he wore women’s lingerie at cocaine parties with prostitutes and he was sacked by the BBC.
He soon landed a job covering the Rugby World Cup on rival channel, ITV, but four years later he was snapped leaving a prostitute’s flat in London.
The dominatrix reportedly ran S&M parties in a “dungeon”, involving a cage and school canes.
After the scandal hit the headlines, he told the press: “I have been exceedingly stupid and I accept that.
“I caused a lot of pain to my wife and my family and I bitterly regret all these things – but I have to say that I believe that everybody, when they have difficulties with their marriage or sexuality, surely has the right to sort these things out in the privacy of their own home.”
Loyal Nesta stood by her husband but later admitted she had been angry and had considered leaving him.
Speaking on a Sky News programme, she said: “Obviously I have thought, ‘Do I stay or do I go?’.
“We have been together a long time. We have brought up a family.
“We have still got a lot going for us. I do feel betrayed by it, but I do not feel that it is anything personal to do with me.”
Tributes to “inspirational” broadcaster
Sadly, despite some stints on LBC and Sky, Frank’s career never fully recovered from the blow.
But today he is being remembered as one of the UK’s best broadcasters – and one of the nicest men in the business.
Jeff Stelling added: “I met Frank Bough when I was a young reporter. He was kind, helpful and generous with his time. His brilliant career was blighted by scandal but I hope people will remember how fine a broadcaster he was. One of the very best in the business.”
Presenter Nick Owen tweeted: “RIP Frank Bough. I regarded him as the ultimate broadcaster who combined news and sport brilliantly. Whatever the scandals that broke around him, he was an inspiration to me when I started in tv more than 40 years ago.”
Piers Morgan tweeted: “RIP Frank Bough, 87. Star of Grandstand, Nationwide and Breakfast Time. His career was ruined by scandal, but he was one of the great live TV presenters. Sad news.
UK – She made a name for herself on the 2019 series of Love Island
And Belle Hassan remained the centre of attention on Saturday evening as she sported a sizzling crossover bralet and leather-look trousers.
The reality star, 25, set pulses racing as she emphasised her ample assets and slender curves in her revealing ensemble while arriving at Jaks in Chelsea, London.
Belle added a golden touch with her Gucci belt, a collection of delicate necklaces and hoop earrings.
The blonde beauty added height to her frame with classic black heels, and clutched a snakeskin handbag as she made her grand entrance.
She styled her luscious locks in a straight hairstyle, and wore a full coverage make-up look.
Her pal turned heads in a cut-out bralet, complete with gold belt buckles.
She completed the ensemble with flared black trousers adorned with gold buttons, and a pair of gold crucifix earrings.
The outing comes after Belle had a candid discussion about her mental health earlier this month with her dad, Tamer Hassan, on his podcast, Family Business.
Revealing how difficult things were for her when she was younger, a clearly emotional Belle said during the discussion with her father: ‘It’s not something that’s easy for me to talk about. I don’t mind talking about it but it’s not easy.
‘As you know dad, when I was a kid I did go through a stage of self harming. For me that was something I really struggled with, and again it all came from a thing of…’
Belle could then be heard struggling to compose herself, as her dad told the audience: ‘We’re all welling up here. Take your time.’
Expressing sympathy for those in similar situations, Belle continued: ‘Mental health has been something that has been close to me, and I think when I’ve worked with young girls, I’ve seen that in so many of them.
‘It’s normal to hate yourself, it’s normal to feel like you’re not enough, you’re worthless, you’re this, you’re that. Being young and feeling like that about yourself is horrible.’
USA – Arguably, a single actor or personality can turnaround or elevate a less-than-spectacular movie. It’s the reason most movie studios want to know who’s attached to a particular project. C.J. and Lorrisa Julianus’ The Misadventures of Mistress Maneater is a classic example of that on an indie level.
Ava Moriarity (Lorrisa Julianus) is a highly-skilled, coveted, and misunderstood dominatrix. Once a Ph.D. art student—who got herself into trouble with a mob boss—she has only thirty days to repay an insurmountable debt. Her only hope is compromising her integrity as she is hired by the town’s nefarious mayor to seduce a small-town Episcopal priest, Father Markovic (Mickey O’Sullivan).

Ava Moriarity (Lorrisa Julianus) is a highly-skilled, coveted, and misunderstood dominatrix. Once a Ph.D. art student—who got herself into trouble with a mob boss—she has only thirty days to repay an insurmountable debt. Her only hope is compromising her integrity as she is hired by the town’s nefarious mayor to seduce a small-town Episcopal priest, Father Markovic (Mickey O’Sullivan).
“…got herself into trouble with a mob boss—she has only thirty days to repay an insurmountable debt.”
With no other options, Ava teams up with her gay best friend, Gabe (Shannon Brown), and schemes away. Like any good thriller, everyone has secrets. How did Ava get in so deep with a mob boss? Why does Father Markovic have a priceless painting stowed away at the church? Why does he sneak off at night and secretly compete as an MMA fighter? Why are these two just so good looking compared to the rest of the town?
Right from the film’s opening moments, there was this feeling I was in for the long haul. It starts with dominatrix Ava in the middle of a session. Her client has a ball gag in his mouth, and she won’t stop the session until he says his “safeword.” Of course, his mouth is muffled, and yet she understands every word he says. I point this out because, as a comedy, every joke goes for the typical punchlines throughout the film and refuses to search further for something clever or new—one bland joke after the other. Hang in there… it is ultimately a good movie.
Then The Misadventures of Mistress Maneater hits all the standard tropes of a strong woman caught in a world beneath her. Total strangers objectify her as a “sex worker.” She’s a smart dominatrix as she insists that clients read and sign contracts as to what she will and will not do. She could also give a f**k about what the townsfolk think of her and her profession. As an art student, she was destined for greatness but never taken seriously as a woman. And then there’s the mobster.
The story then goes down a very familiar path as Ava begins to uncover Father Markovic’s backstory. He’s not exactly who she thinks he is. Of course, as the two are the best-looking people in town…one thing leads to another, ending in betrayal. But enough of the plot spoilers. My point is it’s all fairly formulaic from start to finish. Still, it’s a good movie.
That said, Lorrisa Julianus is the standout star and manages to elevate the mediocre script, story, and all the actors surrounding her and turn The Misadventures of Mistress Maneater into an entertaining film that’s fun to watch. Yes, Lorrisa Julianus looks sexy-as-hell as Ava, and it’s not lost on me that she and her husband, C.J., may have made the movie to showcase her talents. Hell, it’s good, so showcase away.
As Ava, Lorrisa creates a fully developed character with depth. She knows precisely how to portray Ava like a movie star. She is what you’d expect from a strong lead in an action-thriller, who happens to be a woman. Ava is smart, intelligent, and has flaws…like thinking she’s the smartest person in the room. She’s independent and refuses to allow anyone to control her future, even a mob loan shark. Before you know it, she shows she can be vulnerable. Julianus runs the gamut of emotion, builds a believable character arc, and proves she can be a star in almost any other genre.
Before I gush too much over the film’s star, the story is still not-that-great. It’s not that The Misadventures of Mistress Maneater is horrible, I’ve just seen it before, and I’ve heard these jokes over and over again. Still, hang in there for a fun and exciting ride.
UK – GLASGOW – Lady Voluptua is a Scottish dominatrix who you might have seen on the new Channel 5 show Plus Sized Porn.
The dominatrix, whose real name is Lisa, caters to a specialised sector of the sex market – for those that like super-sized big women or BBW (Big Beautiful Women) as the sector is widely know as.
Lisa, who is from Glasgow, revealed that she knew quite early on in her life that she was into ‘kink’.
She said: “I discovered my kink very early on. I think I’ve always been kinky, I was eleven and my twelve-year-old friend told me about bondage and I thought ‘Ohhh, what’s this?’ and I kind of knew I was kinky and then when I met my husband we explored it more and we were quite switchy and would take the different roles and that’s how we explored it.
She added: “I never joined the scene at all until my marriage was over – that was when I was like right, that’s it, I’m going to out and I’m going to have great fun and go to the kink clubs.
“I went from being a sub to a slave, and I just thought it wasn’t fulfilling me. I think the submissive in me just disappeared and when I found that I was being more dominant, I actually got more out of it sexually and it’s the sense of power, the power exchange and the energy that you exchange with them.”
As well as enjoying what she was doing, Lisa realised there was a gap in the market for this and decided to turn it into a source of income.
She said: “It’s a really good rush and that’s when I thought, ‘oh, I could really do this and earn money from it’ because there were a lot of submissive guys, but not a lot of dominant women.
On the Channel 5 programme, Lisa can be seen demonstrating a technique of BDSM called ‘Breath play’, where she restricts a clients breathing by placing her stomach over their face.
Breath play is a very dangerous act which should only be attempted by experienced ‘practitioners’.
Lisa decided to rebrand herself as Lady Voluptua in a bid to fully embrace her size and place in the market.
She said: “I really don’t care what other people think. I’m up for a bit of badness. I actually really want to f**k s**t up in terms of how fat people are perceived.”
Lisa said that the BBW market for sex workers is quite crowded so she needs to be extra creative to be able to stand out from the rest.
She also caters for men who are often embarrassed about their desires to be dominated by BBWs.
She said: “At the end of the day all we are really doing is catering to people’s fantasies and fetishes and fulfilling a need where they maybe can’t get it at home or they are worried that perhaps if they are married their wife or family will reject them, they can come to a safe place.
“It can also be a form of therapy, although we would never say that we are therapists because obviously we are not qualified, but f**k it, it’s whatever floats your boat.”
On her website Lisa has included a lengthy description of what clients can expect if they book her.
She writes: “My body is super-sized, which makes me a Big Beautiful Woman, blessed with luscious lips, large bosoms and voluptuous curves. My deep brown eyes can see right down into your soul.
“I possess a calm and warm demeanour, which will help you to feel safe and secure, so that you can drop your guard and submit openly. There is nowhere to hide from Me.
“I will invade your mind and inspire you to your knees. I am the safe space you have always dreamed of – here to set your spirit free in your submission to Me. And you can get your rocks off while you’re at it.”
Lisa has a fee section on her website which say she offers sessions from her ‘brand new two chambered dungeon’ in Pollokshields, which start from £60 and can go up to £560.
Lisa, who is 5 foot 2, said she is happy with her life and what she does and her girlfriend Vixen, who is also a dominatrix, always celebrates her body.
She said: “It’s never really going to be small but in general I’m happy. I love my body and I love the fact that my girlfriend loves my body and she celebrates it and that gives me confidence when after all of these years in my life I’ve been told ‘no your fat body is wrong you would be so much happier if you were thin’.”
“We just have a normal life together but we also just happen to have a dungeon and were both dominatrix’s so yeah it’s really cool dating a sex worker.”
USA – LOS ANGELES – A photo of a dominatrix taking her submissive for a walk through a Los Angelessupermarket has gone viral.
The image, which was taken in a health food store, was posted on Twitter and racked up more than 100k likes.
It was captioned: “Spotted at Erewhon today.”
Erewhon is described as an ‘upscale health-food store’ which ‘earns buzz for its organic, local and sustainable groceries and prepared fare’.
Well, shoppers got quite the shock when they saw the dominatrix, wearing a skimpy outfit and chunky, black boots with another person being led through the store on all fours,.
However, the mystery dominatrix was soon tracked down and named as Mistress Lark.
Speaking to the Daily Dot, Lark said: “I just wanted some juice.”
You can’t argue with that.
She went on to explain: “I was out with my sub and my friends shooting some videos and just doing shopping. We stopped in Erewhon. Lots of cameras and attention, but the security let us through valet and let us check out our pricey basket before finally asking us to leave.”
However, she disagrees with claims from some that she was whipping her client.
She added: “Didn’t have a dog bowl yet. We bought one after. I did paddle him. No more than twice though.
“He tried to touch my leg too high up my thigh and I didn’t like it. There weren’t any children nearby or anything.”
It’s not the first time a similar act has happened in public.
Video footage emerged last year of the bizarre moment a dominatrix led a man on a leash through a busy London train station.
The man – who was not identified – was decked out in entirely black clothing, crawling on all fours, holding a sign which appears to say: “On Probation for Miss Foxx”.
That would liven up your commute a bit, no doubt.
The whole affair unfolded at Waterloo Station and was captured and shared across social media by a user called Dutty Boukmann. He captioned the video: “Whose dad is this?”
The footage showed commuters, coppers, and train station staff all gawping on in confusion and amusement as a man is walked around on his lead. The whole time, a woman – Miss Foxx, we can only assume – is stood nearby holding the chain around his neck.
She was wearing a short leather skirt and high heels, and even seems to have a chat to a few members of the British Transport Police at one stage.
UK – Ever wondered how you can incorporate some kink into your sex life? Daily Star Online spoke to dominatrix Mistress Iris who shared her saucy bedroom tips
Are you trying to mix things up in the bedroom?
If so, a dominatrix has revealed her kinky sex tips for tantalising your partner under the sheets.
Mistress Iris was just 19 years of age when she met a boy who was naturally more submissive.
As a teenager, the model knew she was more dominant – despite not having an experience in BDSM.
After six years of experimenting and honing her new set of skills, Mistress Iris decided to become a dominatrix.
Now speaking exclusively to Daily Star Online, the sex expert has shared her saucy tips for dominating in the bedroom.
She said: “Soon after [I became a dominatrix] I started posting artistic femdom photography I created to promote my career.
“I received a lot of messages from kink curious followers thanking me for inspiring them to explore their sexuality.
“Also I realised how much of a gap there was in representation of kink and BDSM outside of porn.
“So I really began to invest my energy into creating femdom art photography and short films.”
Mistress Iris shared five saucy tips for dominating in the bedroom:
Explore what turns you on – you can’t work out your likes and dislikes unless you experiment
Have a willing participant – find someone who consents to explore power play with you
Talk to your partner(s) about what you both might want to try – always set your boundaries first before getting jiggy
Give your partner an out – picking a safe word is important for keeping both parties happy
Take care of your partner afterwards (aftercare) – once you’ve finished experimenting, have a debrief and talk through what worked and what didn’t
She says it’s important to bring up your desire to explore your dominance if you have an existing partner.
And since people aren’t mind readers, talk about what you’d like to try under the sheets.
When it comes to BDSM, Mistress Iris claims it’s very important to agree on a safeword so know a real “no” from a playful one.
The dominatrix continued: “Don’t think about what other people might think of you.
“Pay attention to what really turns you on and be kind to yourself about it.
“Maybe there are things you’ve seen or thought about but quickly dismissed because it was too embarrassing or weird to you.
“Revisit those thoughts and start searching for how-to videos, articles, etc. I’m sure you’re not the only one with those inclinations.”
Deeper.com (part of Vixen Media Group) is a luxury adult content site that has narrative focused videos depicting kinky fantasies.
It can be a good source for diving “deeper” into what turns you on.
Mistress Iris also collaborated on a short film with their talented director Kayden Kross called the “Interview“.
She recommends watching it if you’re curious about domination that is all about the psychology of power play, and not the whips and chains you typically associate with BDSM.
UK – When you hear the term ‘sex worker’, who do you think of? Does your brain automatically associate the term with scantily-clad women on the street corner or loose women who need to be saved? Do you think of strippers? Do you think of women who lack a moral compass and a college degree shaking all they have?
If so, allow me to be the sex worker nextdoor. Hi, I’m Victoria, also known as “Vivienne”. I have a degree in politics and human rights. I’m a journalist, opinion writer, and a financial and lifestyle dominatrix. The fact that I am a sex worker doesn’t invalidate my intelligence, accomplishments, or work. Sex workers are not a caricature of hypersexuality — we’re the everyday people around you.
I am not seen as the “typical candidate” to become a sex worker by society, but I was a survival sex worker all the same. I was 21, in college, and already accepting financial help from my loved ones when I realized I was in a bind as the job market for women in journalism isn’t exactly promising. As a type one diabetic, I wasn’t able to afford food, bills, and medication with the money I had in the bank. I had heard of online financial domination a few years earlier, when a man on Tinder paid me to speak to him after a few weeks of ignoring his messages. I had nothing to lose and everything to gain, so I dove into it. I didn’t see much of an option: I had to get the medication and food I needed to survive.
In the year I’ve been in the industry, I’ve learned a lot about myself, my values, goals, and interests. My mom knows. I’ve become a better, more emotionally intelligent person. I understand men in a way I never have before, which makes me a better romantic partner. I’m debt-free and financially secure at 22, which is a gift in and of itself during a catastrophic pandemic.
What I found through sex work, in addition to the money I needed to survive, was a community unlike any other I had been in before, and five best friends. In kink and through BDSM, people are allowed to be their most true and authentic selves, free of judgment or obligations that trail them in everyday life. While the idea of a money fetish may seem odd to some, financial domination is the ultimate power exchange. To forgo luxury and give the literal fruits of your labor — your income — to someone who you value and enjoy being in the presence of is a wonderfully intimate experience, even if that might sound strange to some.
Money has its own sexual energy — we eroticize the security it gives, and we value wealth and security in our partners. FinDom takes that a step further and allows admirers to give something tangible and real to their dommes: wealth.
There’s a social stigma attached to young women who seek out elderly partners to benefit financially — so-called “gold diggers” — but why are the women criticized for seeking out these partners and not the men, who are wielding financial security to create unequal relationships? Frankly, because patriarchy and its toxic values are so deeply entrenched in our perception of what women should do, be, and even look like.
Financial domination is what happens when women realize their value to men and attach a price tag to access. It’s a reversal of that power imbalance that has been weaponized against women for generations. Weaponizing femininity is a result of oppression and I won’t apologize for using “what my mama gave me” in an uncertain economy.
I never planned on writing about my sex work — until I was subjected to targeted harassment. A disgruntled submissive was encouraged by their dominatrix to find my personal information and publish it, repeatedly, with the intention of ruining my career in journalism. But I’m not ashamed to be a sex worker. It’s simply another job, a particularly lucrative one that I enjoy, and one I want to de-stigmatize.
Some people have told me financial domination is “immoral”, but I don’t see anything wrong with taking from men in a consensual power exchange where both parties benefit. Those outside of the kink often call financial dominatrixes leeches or manipulative while failing to understand that this is a conscious choice, and calling our submissives “crazy” devalues the fact that the men and women who choose and consent to send are of sound mind. Our submissives aren’t forced into it — they’re equal participants who seek us out for personal, mutual enjoyment. When you’re practicing risk-aware consensual kink, there’s no harm done.
The adult star was caught filming an S&M porn with the priest and another woman and following her arrest she said she has been having nightmares and panic attacks
USA – A dominatrix who was allegedly caught filming an S&M porn video with a priest at a church altar has said that she is having nightmares and panic attacks following her arrest. She has started a fundraiser under GoFundMe and is aiming to raise money for the payment of her lawyers’ fees and medical leave. Her fundraiser launched on October 9 has raised at least $9,000.
Melissa Cheng was arrested last month for engaging in a threesome that involved fellow performer Mindy Dixon, 41, and Louisiana priest Travis Clark, 37, in the Saints Peter and Paul Roman Catholic Church in Pearl River. We had earlier reported that the incident came to light on September 30 when an unidentified witness reportedly saw the two corset-wearing dominatrices having sex with a half-naked Clark while filming equipment was set up, cops said.
Following her arrest, a reportedly distressed Cheng wrote a long note in her fundraiser message. The 23-year-old wrote that her conduct was not criminal. “It is unfortunate that I am being presented to the world as a criminal when, in fact, I have done nothing wrong. All parties involved were consenting adults. Everything that occurred took place behind closed doors, on private property, and none of the conduct alleged was criminal in nature.”
She stressed how she is being demonized after the incident. “The fact that I am being vilified like this is quite frankly, appalling. I understand that people may be upset by this situation, but that does not make this conduct illegal or criminal in any way.” She said that she would have to take a break from work after this incident. “In order for me to come out of this in a strong, empowered, and healthy way, I must take a hiatus from work, and social media, as my life has been overtaken by the publicity of this scenario.”
The dominatrix further wrote, “The bail <which has already been paid>, the time off work, time spent in jail, content lost and seizure of My belongings <film lighting equipment, 1k worth of makeup> lawyer fees and the toll on My mental and physical well being has amounted to no small price.” She also spoke about her deteriorating mental health after the incident. “The trauma and mental & physical stress of the situation has caused My chronic preexisting health condition, P.O.T.S Syndrome to flare up again, when previously in recovery up until this present moment.”
Who is Melissa Cheng?
Melissa Cheng is an Atlanta-based adult star. She is a dominatrix and says is a believer of “safe, sane, consensual, and private BDSM practices”. She goes by the name ‘Satanatrix’ on her Instagram handle and often posts her semi nudes.
The Sun reported that Cheng, known in the BDSM community as Empress Ming, charges $350 for one hour, $700 for two hours and $1,050 for three hours for her work. After the recent case, she had to seek monetary help as she takes time off work.
