Yesterday I found myself in front of a documentary camera once again. An overseas company, French this time, asking questions about rugby World Cup and the effects it will have on the NZ sex industry. Of course they also wanted to know just general insider secrets and information about the industry.
Whenever I have these doco makers pointed in my direction they are aware I have had a long life of experience in the sex industry as a Madam, but usually have no idea I am also a seasoned Dominatrix so the first hour or so of their time is generally full of their personal inquiries about what it is ‘really’ like to be a Domme. Lots of pointing and asking ‘what is that and how does it work?’ and questions about who my clients are and why they seek out such a specialised service.
As usually happens they headed out to me with an hour or two booked in their schedule for my interview and left four hours later with a head full of new information and thoughts that challenged their original perceptions of the industry.
Education about the ins and outs of the world I live in, a glimpse behind the veil of illusion and magic that surround the entire gamut of what we provide for the clients we see. Education about what it is ‘actually’ like to work in the sex industry. Education that is not available unless you work in the industry yourself or talk to someone with a decent breadth of knowledge and personal experience of the good and bad sides of this wonderful industry of ours.
Imparting knowledge to those thirsty for it and those who will take that knowledge and help push this much maligned industry into the light, away from the terrible dark image it has, away from the place in peoples minds where a sex worker is a woman who walks the streets putting herself at risk of all kinds of harm, both physical and psychological. Away from the belief that a sex worker is a person with no other career choices open to them.
This is what drives me!
Sure I am a business woman first and a Madam/Domme second but the thing that has kept me going for almost 17 years so far is the awareness that my input through my work, my lifting of work standards, my dedication to detail and my passion for my job are helping the industry in general to become a safer and happier place for workers and clients alike.
So I got to thinking after the doco crew left yesterday… I need to spill my handbag of secrets onto a blog. Finally….
