3. When I first came to New York, I showed up with just a backpack to be on the Maury Povitch show, some episode about how opposites attract. I lied and said I was really attracted to short men just as an excuse to get flown in. And I loved it here and so I looked in the help wanted section for social workers and it was retarded--like $17,000 a year. It's absolutely retarded the number of people who do stuff they hate. Two weeks paid vacation and all. It's a joke.

5. There's lots of vocational training for this. They don't just send you in not knowing anything. There's practical training--learning the things to do. They're very interesting, the things that you can do, things you wouldn't think of. You have to learn how to do them. It's just like any other job: you have to know how to do it. It would be insane not to know how to do it.

7. The two dungeons where I work are private places in business offices. On the outside, they'd probably look the same to you as any corporate office. And on the inside, I'm making about the same per hour as a good attorney. The house takes a good portion of the money, but they also handle the collection. Money never passes our hands, because if it's an undercover police officer, we can't have our fingerprints on the bills.

9. It's not a sex service. They're perfectly free to release themselves, but I'm not there for their direct sexual satisfaction.
10. All my customers are men. Women can be naturally dominated by men at any time. They just have to go to a bar and they can find a guy who will dominate them. I see a lot of men. I call them clients. Or patients. Like we're the therapists. Sometimes I definitely feel like I'm a counselor.

12. A lot of submissives in my world are dominant in the outside world. They have high-paying positions, importance and decision-making. They're looking for balance. And vice versa, if someone doesn't have a lot of power in society, they can come in and dominate the submissive.

14. I am constantly learning new techniques, new things. I can't lie and say it's always exciting, because sometimes it is dull. You know, like cross-dressers who want to be dressed up and transformed and called a slut and taken advantage of. That's gotten kind of old.
15.
16. I'm weird. I'm a freak by society's normal standards. And I don't care. Anyone who's involved with me has to be into the scene themselves. It's not important to me to be normal. I run away from normality. Mediocrity sucks. But, you know, you need support. It's important to have friends. It's important to have people understand. And a lot of people don't. A lot of people think I'm a whore. Or that it's weird.

18. I am a lifestyle mistress, which means I am someone who incorporates S&M into their life, whose own sexuality lends itself to this kind of lifestyle. Someone who thinks she needs this for her own sexual life. It isn't something I just do on weekends. It is me. I mean, I was this way before the job.

20. I want to become a very well-known real dominatrix . Then I can specialize. That should be everyone's goal: eliminating things you don't particularly like to do and focusing on what you like to do. I wouldn't want my own dungeon. It's way too expensive. I'd just like a bunch of sugar daddies. Who wouldn't?
