			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Very often Goddess Alexia is faced with the same questions about Domination: why, when, where and what for?  In the past few years she has given much thought to these questions.  I invite you to enter Goddess Alexia’s fantasy world, a world which in her tantalizingly husky voice she entices you to enter.  A world that she reveals to you and through which she guides you, so that under her spell you lose yourself and experience a voyage of discovery towards new and deeper ways of pleasure.</p>
<p>Come with me and discover a fascinating Woman, a Mistress out of the ordinary, a real Dominatrix and Goddess.</p>
<p><strong>What is domination for Goddess Alexia?</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><em>Domination is a fantasy world, it is mind release. </em></p>
<p><a href="http://mistressalexia.com/blog/" target="_blank"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-437" title="Lilac02" src="http://joannalark.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Lilac02-200x300.jpg" alt="Lilac02 200x300 Discovering The Art Of Domination With Goddess Alexia" width="200" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>For me, Domination is my profession as well as my lifestyle.  I enjoy the fetish scene so much that for me it is sheer pleasure to be part of it, to see how I am enriching the life of my worshippers and to share all the excitement that I create for them.  It is especially rewarding when my worshippers come to me and thank me for changing their lives, for waking them up and giving them something to look forward to.   As one of them told me, I gave him back his zest for life!</p>
<p>Domination is also balance.  I restore  balance to some of my clients who are very dominant in their normal life and so need to have a mind-relieving change.  When they enter my fantasy world of domination it is I who am in charge, and this gives them a more balanced life.</p>
<p>Domination is a form of art.  To me every person is unique and to interact with them is to create something completely new, like painting a new picture.  My canvas is their mind, and my interaction with their mind is what I am depicting, which is endlessly interesting and exciting both for me and for them.</p>
<p><a href="http://mistressalexia.com/blog/" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-435" title="Chair03" src="http://joannalark.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Chair03-200x300.jpg" alt="Chair03 200x300 Discovering The Art Of Domination With Goddess Alexia" width="200" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>For me, Domination is also the discovery of new means of pleasure.  The pleasure comes from creating different relationships between the Goddess and her worshippers, giving their minds a perfect balance and having a positive influence on them, keeping them excited, alive and  I would even say more developed, because I have widened their horizons.</p>
<p><strong>We all have a fetish, what is Goddess Alexia’s fetish?</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>My main fetish is Goddess Worship.  This has been a continuing fetish for many years.  Goddess fetish is what I like and I include it in every professional session and in my private life, as when I go out partying.  I like the whole surrender, being worshipped;  keeping a worshipper under my spell and getting into his mind is my kink.</p>
<p>Showing my worshippers my fantasy world where they can adore me has been, and always will be, my strongest fetish.</p>
<p><em>If you want to know more about Goddess Alexia’s fantasy world, her fetishes and adventures, do not miss the next part of this interview where Goddess Alexia will reveal what makes a good Dominatrix and tell us some of her most intimate thoughts and secrets. </em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have I mentioned <a href="http://www.filamentmagazine.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>Filament magazine</strong></span></a> yet?<br />
The quarterly women&#8217;s magazine<br />
inspired by the rocket science that women have brains and eyes.<br />
I read it sometimes, especially that I concider myself having both.<br />
And some time ago my attention cought this article:</p>
<h1>&#8220;A beginner&#8217;s guide to pegging&#8221;</h1>
<p> </p>
<p>In 2001 Dan Savage, irreverent sex and relationships advice columnist from Seattle’s The Stranger, ran a competition to name the sexual practice where a woman anally penetrates a man with a strap-on dildo. Other front-runners included bobbing and punting, but it was pegging that crossed the line first in the end.  As it were.</p>
<p>Naming gives legitimacy, and perhaps because of this, hetero strap-on-sex is  becoming more widely talked about, if not more widely practised.  Pegging features in a storyline of the television series Weeds and the lyrics of the Peaches song Back it up, boys.</p>
<p>There is no right or wrong way to have sex, and no step-by-step guide will get you where you want to go all the time.  Its always about figuring out what’s right for both of you at the time.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h2>Three common questions</h2>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Is pegging female domination? </strong></p>
<p>Pegging is as much about domination and submission as any sex &#8211; it depends on what you both want.  There are ways to peg where the woman is in control, where the man is in control and where control is shared equally.  For example, when the man is on top, he can control the speed and angle of penetration.</p>
<div id="attachment_412" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 171px"><a href="http://www.joannalark.com/store/categories/BDSM-Equipment/Strap%252don-selection/" target="_blank"><img class="size-medium wp-image-412" title="Joanna Suck it!" src="http://joannalark.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Joanna-Suck-it-161x300.jpg" alt="Joanna Suck it 161x300 Strip Off And Strap On" width="161" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">My Favourite Strap On Simple But Usefull</p></div>
<p><strong> </strong><strong>Why would a man want to be pegged?</strong></p>
<p>Pure physical sensation is a common reason.  Pegging is an excellent way to stimulate the prostate gland, which can be hard to reach with fingers alone.  Other men are specifically looking to be dominated,  and still others just want to try something new and different.  Pegging can also be a compelling exercise of trust and intimacy that couples fine communicates more than words.</p>
<p> <strong>If a guy wants to be pegged, doesn</strong><strong>’</strong><strong>t that mean he</strong><strong>’</strong><strong>s gay?</strong></p>
<p> Being gay means wanting to have a emotional or physical relationship with another man.  It has nothing to do with having something up your bottom.</p>
<p>Enough of that.  Lets get started.</p>
<p> <strong>1. Raise the Issue. </strong></p>
<p> Your getting off lightly if he raised it first, and you replied coyly, ‘How about tonight?’  If its been kicking around in your head for a while and you don’t quite know how to knock on his back door, there are several ways to the hint without pressuring him.</p>
<p>  <strong>Appeal to physical pleasure </strong></p>
<p> ‘his P-spot is the male equivalent of the G-spot, and by ignoring it, he’s seriously missing out. When stimulated it can lead to really intense orgasms.  To find his P-spot, have him lie on his back,  and insert well lubed finger, palm up, almost all the way in, curve the finger in a ‘come hither’ gesture and massage firmly.’ </p>
<p>-Em &amp; Lo, EMandLO.com</p>
<p> <strong>Talk equality</strong></p>
<p> ‘You know how you mentioned fancying anal sex? You’re up for receiving, too, right?’ </p>
<p> Tit-for-tat sex rather defeats the purpose of sex, but there is never any harm in pointing out that there’s a very reasonable equivalent of any other stuff that might be going down.</p>
<p> <strong>Little white lies </strong></p>
<p> ‘I had a dream that I was pegging you &#8211; isn’t that crazy? It was kinda hot though.’</p>
<div id="attachment_416" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.joannalark.com/store/products/Strap-On-Always-Rock-Hard-Ready.html" target="_blank"><img class="size-medium wp-image-416" title="Strap-On_JL_742b" src="http://joannalark.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Strap-On_JL_742b-300x220.jpg" alt="Strap On JL 742b 300x220 Strip Off And Strap On" width="300" height="220" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Always Rock Hard Ready</p></div>
<p>I have heard of a woman who produced this line in an instant messaging conversation, to which boyfriend replied, ‘that would be nice.’  Assuming that he knew what pegging was, or at least head consulted Wikipedia, they discussed this future activity, including her indicating she’d acquire  the necessary kit.  It then became evident that he’d assumed pegging was some newfangled word for regular sex.  He decide to give it a go all the same and apparently they both had a nice time.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h2>2  Start Simple</h2>
<p> </p>
<p> There’s no need to jump right into the strap-on-action.  Get some water-based lube and a few pairs of rubber gloves, and try a bit of manual prostate stimulation alongside, for example, oral sex or a hand job.</p>
<p>Buying rubber gloves is a science in itself, as most pharmacies only stock ‘one size’ which many women find their hands swim in.  If you ask the pharmacist if they stock a smaller size, you invariably get asked just what you want these rubber gloves for.  Points for sharing. Several online retailers sell hundred packs in any size if you want to avoid the unnecessary enquiry.</p>
<p>Some people like to try butt plugs or anal beads at this point too, which is entirely according to taste.</p>
<h2> 3. Acquire your kit.</h2>
<p> </p>
<p> If you both want to move on to something more exotic, you’ll need to acquire your strap-on.  Strap-ons involve two parts: harness and dildo.<br />
&lt;or come as an integral one piece. JL&gt;</p>
<p>Good sex shops should let you try on harnesses, and you should expect to pay £30-£50.  Make sure that the harness feels comfortable, sturdy and allows the dildo to point in a direction that’s likely to be useful &#8211; cheaper harnesses may point your dildo downward which makes it harder to control.  Some harnesses have a pouch inside to add a vibrating object for extra sensation for you. &lt;or <a href="http://www.joannalark.com/store/products/Strap-On-With-3-Dildos-For-Unforgetable-Experience.html" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color: #800080;">another sort of surprise &#8211; vaginal and anal dildo for the harness wearer &#8211; extra bonus!</span></strong></a> JL&gt;</p>
<div id="attachment_414" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.joannalark.com/store/products/Strap-On-With-3-Dildos-For-Unforgetable-Experience.html" target="_blank"><img class="size-medium wp-image-414" title="strap-on_JL739.1d" src="http://joannalark.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/strap-on_JL739.1d-300x203.jpg" alt="strap on JL739.1d 300x203 Strip Off And Strap On" width="300" height="203" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Strap On With 3 Dildos</p></div>
<p>Dildos, sometimes called dongs, fall into a similar price range.  For first-time pegging choose a smooth-surfaced, modestly-sized  number.  In the words of one man, ‘The anus is the body’s magnifying glass: everything that goes into it appears to be twice its natural size.’</p>
<p>Silicone is popular for dildos because it is easy to clean, hard to damage and its very unlikely that someone will be allergic to it.  However, silicone dildos tend to be significantly more expensive.  Rubber dongs can be acquired for around £20.  Once again, make sure you’ve got enough water-based lube.  You might also find that condoms and anti-bacterial wipes make clean-up easier. &lt;I have selected for my BDSM store <a href="http://www.joannalark.com/store/categories/BDSM-Equipment/Strap%252don-selection/" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color: #800080;">latex and silicone dildos</span></strong></a>. JL&gt;</p>
<h2> </h2>
<h2>4. Assume the position</h2>
<p> </p>
<p>It can be fun to put your harness on before you get right into the pegging.  This makes for a nice promise of something more intense to come as you start with lubing up and the now-familiar anal play.</p>
<p>Many couple find that male-on-top is the best position to start with, as having no sensation in the operative part makes controlling placement more difficult for the woman.  If you do want to go for something where you have complete control, a doggy style position might be better.  Bending him over the side of the bed from kneeling can be good if you’re worried about knocking him over with enthusiasm.</p>
<p>Make sure the dildo and his arsehole are well lubed, and place the head squarely against his pucker, apply gentle pressure or let him press back against the dildo at his own speed.  Once the dildo enters into him about a inch or so, pause and let him get used to the feeling.</p>
<p>From anal play you will hopefully got a feeling for what kind of sensations your man likes, and should be able to peg in a way that is consistent with that.  For example, some people strongly prefer the pushing in over the pulling out sensation, in which case you can just thrust forward continually, rather than pulling out and then pushing in.  A ‘reach around’ may be helpful too:</p>
<p><em><strong>Reach around.</strong> N. The act of masturbating a sexual partner, usually while simultaneously performing another sexual act from behind, such as doggy-style or anal sex, or spooning.</em></p>
<p>As with any sexual activity, the key is to communicate continually about what is and isn’t working, as well as paying attention to his reactions, movements and the sounds he makes  Talk, talk and talk some more.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Shortly after my introduction to the London fetish scene I attended a swinger’s party.  I had spent the night with some new friends at a private party and it just seemed natural to continue the party somewhere else, so I accepted going to the after party.</p>
<p> As soon as I crossed the door I realized this was no ordinary party.  The ambiance was so relaxed with people lying down drinking and talking on the sofas, couples kissing and caressing on tables and any other piece of furniture they could find available.  There were two bedrooms, both of them with King size beds with a tangle of arms and legs, bare butts and tits.  One of my friends, a porn star, went in the bedroom, took his clothes off and walked in the living room stark naked showing why he is considered such a star in the porn business.  Everybody seemed to be in a haze, minding their own business.  Tiredly I lay down on a sofa and a handsome painter brought me a drink while my slave “memoire de poisson” –who had come with me to the party-, gave me a foot massage.   </p>
<p> At a point when I was waiting for the toilet a 6’ tall black man approached me asking me to make him my slave.  “Make me your slave madam, look at me I am black I was born to be a slave, humiliate me, use me, hit me” he said to me with a grave voice.  He was so big and tall that my first reaction was fear.  In a world of political correctness a black man was asking me to treat him as my slave because he was black!  After my initial surprise I slapped him hard and told him that a slave never approaches a Mistress that way.  He went down on his knees begging for forgiveness.  I slapped him again and ordered him to clean and prepare the toilet before I could use it.  He did as ordered and then disappeared for the night.  </p>
<p>Among that surrealistic picture I saw Joanna mischievously smiling at me.  She was holding something in her hands, and like she is always doing with me, she teased me to follow her and try on her new toy.   “What is this” I asked her.  “Your new toy my sister sinister” she answered with a naughty look.  “Close your eyes, stand up straight, open your legs and let me show you” she added.  I closed my eyes and felt her hands tying something around my waist, passing belts between my legs and tying the whole thing tightly.  <a href="http://www.joannalark.com/store/products/Strap-On-Always-Rock-Hard-Ready.html" target="_blank"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-399" title="suck-my-strap-on" src="http://joannalark.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/suck-my-strap-on-161x300.jpg" alt="suck my strap on 161x300 Swinging Party And My First Strap On" width="161" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>When I opened my eyes I couldn’t believe I had a <a href="http://www.joannalark.com/store/products/Strap-On-Always-Rock-Hard-Ready.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #800080;">strap-on</span></a> fitted on me, ready to be used on whoever I fancied.  This was Joanna’s present, she knew that I had been wanting to wear one ever since we visited Floozie me.  I wasn’t ready at the time, but Joanna judged that I was ready now.  She wasn’t wrong, I felt a flush or heat invading me thinking about using my strap on.  It looked and felt great.  I turned round and found a timid girl who had been following me all night, admiring me, caressing me softly, just wanting to be near me.  I looked at her and on a whim ordered her to suck me.  She went on her knees and started sucking me, slowly at the start and steadily more vigorous.  I was so excited, I could hardly stand straight, she was now almost begging me to use it on her and I couldn’t wait to give it full use. </p>
<p>Whatever happened after, will always remain between my strap-on and me…</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When Joanna Lark invited me to go with her to the London Munch back in January 2010, as usual I did not know what to expect. Joanna likes to surprise me, to entice me into her fetish world, so she doesn’t really tell me much about our outings; she lets me discover her world by myself. So far I have never been disappointed, so as usual with any of Joanna’s invitations, I was besides myself with excitement and expectation towards this new experience.</p>
<p>The evening started early when at 7 o’clock my new wannabe slave “memoire de poisson” arrived at the door ready to drive me to the Munch venue. All that Joanna had told me was that there was not a strict dress code for the Munch; so I just wore a <a href="http://www.joannalark.com/store/products/Leather-Mini-Skirt-%252d-In-Flattering-Top-Style.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #800080;">leather mini skirt</span></a> with matching <a href="http://www.joannalark.com/store/products/Leather-Bra-That-Fits-Perfectly.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #800080;">leather bra</span></a> and a red cashmere cardigan on top. All and all, I looked quite serious, or maybe I should say, seriously dangerous…</p>
<p>The London Munch was held at an open bar where the basement had been reserved for the Munchers. I found it an incredibly turn on to arrive all dressed in black leather and red cashmere at the bar, men and women turning in awe to look at me, followed closely by my slave opening doors and holding my handbag and taking care of my every step. I rarely feel so powerful and excited but having all the eyes in the pub fixed on me, admiring me and wishing they could get closer had an incredible impact on me. I must be an exhibitionist deep down, because every time I am in a similar situation I feel the heat between my legs mounting and expanding through all my body. It is such a lovely warmth and feeling of power that I really look forwards to it nowadays.</p>
<p><a href="http://londonmunch.bizhat.com/munchhome.htm" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-389" title="london-munch_banner_large" src="http://joannalark.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/london-munch_banner_large-300x43.jpg" alt="london munch banner large 300x43 The London Munch: For Love Or Money?" width="300" height="43" /></a></p>
<p>The Munch was populated with an eclectic group of people, ranging from young people in jeans and t shirts to gorgeous women dressed up in lovely <a href="http://www.joannalark.com/store/categories/Fetish-Wear/Corsets/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #800080;">corsets</span></a>. As soon as I arrived I found Joanna at the bar. How could I miss her, always so powerfully gorgeous and surrounded by a group of her subs; wannabe slaves and Masters? The ambiance was very friendly; Joanna introduced me to several of her friends, all of them very interesting people to talk to. It was there that I met a Master friend of Joanna. He was a fascinating character and was delighted to answer all my questions. He didn’t mind spending the evening explaining me, a newbie to the London scene, all the things I was curious about.</p>
<p>From that night on, a question that he asked me has stuck in mind. He asked me, why I am getting involved in the London Fetish scene; is it for love or money? My answer was, and still is, for love. Yes, because I am enjoying so much discovering this new side of me and this new view of the world that I wouldn’t like to be anywhere else at the moment. I do it for love, because allowing myself to enter the scene has opened up a whole new horizon. I can see how in everyday life I have become more assertive and more confident of. Allowing myself to explore my dominant side is opening new ways of unknown pleasure.<br />
Yes, I do it for love!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>During the night at <strong>Club Pedestal</strong> I met lots of new people, all of them nice and interesting.  I never imagined that I would meet lawyers, surgeons and many other serious professionals in a femdom club.  It was a turn-on to know that these men who were serving and adoring me, were men used to giving orders and being boss all week.  Just before I left the club, one of them, who I had taken to be my new slave for the night after I whipped him and used him as an astray, gave me his phone number and details requesting to be my personal slave and servant.</p>
<p>The day after Club Pedestal I was reading a book “Training with Miss Abernathy” a present I had received the night before from one of Joanna’s subs, when I found a note with my new slaves’ phone number.  I was curious, so I sent him a message ordering him to come and pick me up immediately to entertain me.  Much to my surprise he answered my message and less than an hour later he was picking me up to give me a tour of London, taking me for lunch and to the Museum of Natural History.   I discovered that he was a very interesting person, and we had great fun “training him” in public.  He is of very good disposition but very forgetful, so I had to slap him every time he forgot something, so he would remember next time.  His forgetful disposition gained him the nickname “memoire de poisson” a French saying in reference to the short memory that fish have.</p>
<p> I think that Londoners are not use to seeing a woman walking with a personal servant, as we had lots of people looking at us in shock.  I enjoyed having someone opening doors before I went in, carrying my bags, disposing of my chewing gum (in his mouth), and taking care of my every step so other people wouldn’t get to close to me. </p>
<p>One of the tasks I asked “memoire the poisson” to do as part of his training was to find the most traditional couple in the museum and ask them to take a picture of us, him kneeling down in all fours while I was standing with one foot on his back.  This was to show him humility and the fact that the two of us couldn’t be at the same level but he should always be lower.  He managed to find an elderly couple and asked the man to take a picture of us in the museum’s main hall.  The gentleman accepted immediately and we went posing with me always dominating “memoire de poisson”. The gentleman was pleasantly surprised and offered to take more photos while his wife went away in disgust!  After a few demeaning photos, the gentleman gave us the camera and went to meet his wife with a smile.  The lady was so upset with him, that we heard her shouting and giving him a row for helping “those deviants”… </p>
<p>But who knows, maybe I will meet them one day at the fetish party&#8230;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As promised earlier, I will be revealing slowly the gorgeous silhouette and fascinating personality of one of my favourite London Dominatrixes &#8211; Goddess Alexia. I remember we met for the first time 2 years ago at the Xpo 2008, and we liked each other straight away. She also is an exhibitionist like me  and we share quite similar attitiude towards Female Domination. Here is the first interview with her, specially for Marquis Magazine.</p>
<p>*  Alexia – you describe yourself as a Goddess.<br />
Please explain: what is the difference<br />
between a Mistress and a Goddess for you?<br />
Why you are so unique?<br />
A Mistress provides professional BDSM services for her clients<br />
who pay her to do what they want -<br />
what she does for the client is what defines her,<br />
and ultimately the client remains in charge<br />
no matter what role-play may be involved.<br />
A Goddess is a dominatrix whose effect on her clients<br />
is so profound that they no longer think about what they want,<br />
but instead wish only to please her<br />
- in effect they become her worshippers.<br />
Of course, if the Goddess is pleased by them,<br />
she may indulge them by doing what she knows they want,<br />
but theycan never demand it.<br />
Why am I unique?<br />
It should really be for others to say why,<br />
but I have learned by experience that my effect<br />
on my clients is always powerful and often overwhelming for them!</p>
<p>*  Foot fetish in all characteristics is your<br />
speciality. Why do you love these games so<br />
much?</p>
<div id="attachment_363" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 209px"><a href="http://joannalark.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/RedBlack11.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-363" title="RedBlack11" src="http://joannalark.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/RedBlack11-199x300.jpg" alt="RedBlack11 199x300 Goddess Alexia Reveals Her Secrets To Marquis Magazine" width="199" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Under The Heel</p></div>
<p>The relationship between Goddess and her<br />
client that I have just described is most<br />
powerfully expressed in foot worship &#8211; the<br />
Goddess above, the worshipper below,<br />
with physical contact limited to just the<br />
feet of the Goddess, but hands, lips and<br />
tongue of the worshipper. Feet and<br />
footwear, especially high boots, have<br />
always symbolized power, and in<br />
caressing, kissing and licking my shoes,<br />
boots and feet my worshippers are<br />
acknowledging my power over them. I find<br />
this deeply satisfying. Of course, I love the<br />
physical side of it too, particularly when<br />
my feet are massaged by someone who<br />
knows how to do it properly.</p>
<p>*  How long have you worked as a<br />
Dominatrix and how did you find out that this is your way of life?<br />
I have been working professionally in London<br />
ever since I became adult,<br />
and I have known from an early age that I am a dominant.<br />
And since I love all the other aspects of my work -<br />
the focus on feminine beauty, the clothes, the dressing up,<br />
the role-playing, the psychology of my clients<br />
- I cannot imagine a more attractive way to<br />
live than just doing what I really enjoy!</p>
<p>*  You offer a lot of different services: from<br />
Pony games to Bondage, from Deprivation<br />
to Feminisation. Could you tell me if you<br />
can observe a “must have fashion trend” of<br />
the wishes of your clients? Or is there more<br />
a classical hit list of preferred practices?</p>
<p>Every client is different, and of course they<br />
often don&#8217;t know at first what they really want.<br />
For instance, they may come to me<br />
because they have fantasized about being whipped by a beautiful woman,<br />
but really they just want to have a submissive relationship with her. <br />
Part of my work is to help them find out what their needs are<br />
and, if they please me, to satisfy them.<br />
I don&#8217;t think there is a common thread to these desires,<br />
except insofar as the &#8220;vanilla&#8221; world has a very limited idea<br />
of what happens in a BDSM relationship,<br />
and so often comes up with the same set of initial ideas.</p>
<p>*  How should a male or female sub be set up<br />
when he or she has a date with you?</p>
<p>Be prepared to be completely open and<br />
honest, without embarrassment, about<br />
what brings them to me. It goes without<br />
saying that they must be clean, polite and<br />
respectful as well!</p>
<p>*  In your work psychology plays an immense<br />
role. Do you think that a good Mistress has<br />
to be also some kind of a therapist?</p>
<p>A mistress who does not provide therapeutic relief for her clients<br />
is not doing her job properly, in fact is not doing it at all.<br />
All my clients come to me initially<br />
because they have something lacking in<br />
their life which I can help them to find. Not<br />
surprisingly, it is often because they<br />
cannot find in their marriage or other<br />
relationship what they need in fantasy,<br />
although the relationship may be very<br />
successful otherwise. I know from much<br />
experience that what I do can be<br />
immensely helpful and wholly beneficial<br />
for them. I know when I have succeeded<br />
because they continue to come to me,<br />
sometimes for many years.</p>
<p>* Apart from being a professional<br />
dominatrix do you do anything else?</p>
<div id="attachment_361" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 211px"><a href="http://joannalark.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/RedBlack05.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-361" title="RedBlack05" src="http://joannalark.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/RedBlack05-201x300.jpg" alt="RedBlack05 201x300 Goddess Alexia Reveals Her Secrets To Marquis Magazine" width="201" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">On The Director&#39;s Chair</p></div>
<p>Yes I have my production where I create<br />
my own fetish videos and photos.<br />
It requires me to be a very<br />
 creative and inspiring person, especially<br />
that I am an actress, director, copy writer<br />
and on the top of that  a dominatrix<br />
My videos and photos are accessible<br />
via my members website</p>
<p><a href="http://www.theplatinumcage.com/" target="_blank">http://www.theplatinumcage.com/</a><br />
*  How deep is your personal fetish for latex<br />
clothing, because in front of the camera you<br />
seem very satisfied with all this rubber on<br />
your body …</p>
<p>I adore everything about latex except<br />
getting into it! It makes me intensely aware<br />
of my body, and it is tremendously sexy<br />
without being too coarsely revealing,<br />
although it can sometimes feel more naked<br />
than actually being naked.  I also admit to<br />
being thrilled by knowing the effect that it<br />
has on other people &#8211; but then I am an<br />
exhibitionist whether dressed in latex,<br />
leather or any other attractive clothing &#8230;</p>
<p>* How can one contact you to arrange a meeting?</p>
<p> The best way is to read my website first and then<br />
 call me<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am having so many enquiries from newbies asking me:</p>
<p>“Mistress, I would love to come to the <strong><a href="http://clubpedestal.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #800080;">Club Pedestal</span></a></strong> but</p>
<p>-         have no courage<br />
-         have never been to the fetish club<br />
-         don’t want to come alone<br />
-         would love to keep you company but you always seem so busy”</p>
<p> So I decided to create a Slave’s Kindergarten for subs<br />
who are attending the club for the first time.<br />
If you are truly willing to discover the London’s fetish environment<br />
in female domination atmosphere and consider yourself<br />
as ready to stay on all fours in public,<br />
then I may take you “under my wings” for that special night.</p>
<p>And there is a special costume theme for my slave’s nursery –<br />
this month it will be chicken outfit.<br />
You must wear a chicken mask on May 27<sup>th</sup> of you want to be taken under consideration.<br />
And you must wear it proudly to entertain me! The more pathetic you look the better &#8211; we like it <img src='http://joannalark.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' title="Kindergarten For Slaves At The Fetish Club" /> </p>
<p>I would give you the introduction to slave’s training,<br />
teach you the basic manners and explain “how it works” there in our Female Heaven.<br />
And if you behave yourself, I might recommend you<br />
to some adorable Mistresses attending the party…<br />
And if you misbehave… well – read the earlier post about the humbler!</p>
<p>If you have any questions, ask here or send me an email at <a href="mailto:joanna@joannalark.com">joanna@joannalark.com</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I’ve met great new supplier from Holland recently.<br />
They have some BDSM products ideally complementing Ledapol&#8217;s catalogue.<br />
Can&#8217;t wait to try new implements. One of them is a humbler.<br />
Where shall I do my “initiation”? Maybe at the Pedestal this month? hmmm&#8230;</p>
<p>The <strong><a href="http://www.joannalark.com/store/products/Humbler-%252d-Perfectly-Nasty-Device-For-CBT.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #800080;">humbler</span></a></strong> is a BDSM device that consists of a wooden bar,<br />
the middle of which secures around the wearer&#8217;s ball sack<br />
and locks it in place with the security mechanism.<br />
When fitted, the bar is placed behind the sub&#8217;s legs,<br />
thus pulling his genitals backwards.<br />
If the wearer tries to stand while in the humbler,<br />
intense pressure will be felt as the ball sack starts to pull further from the body.<br />
This makes standing difficult (if not impossible)<br />
and the most comfortable position for the sub is to be on all fours.</p>
<p>Our humbler, designed and made in Amsterdam,<br />
has a very special look and is totally leather coated on the outside.<br />
A truly special product for those who want to go a step further.</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t wait to use it on my new slave <img src='http://joannalark.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' title="The Humbler   Perfectly Nasty CBT Device." /><br />
he is a soldier, so he should be able to take it,<br />
even if I order him to stand to attention&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The morning after Club Pedestal<strong> </strong>night I was lying in bed next to Becky.  She was looking at me, still surprised at how easily I had fitted into my new Dominatrix personality the previous night.  She was trying to understand my behaviour, the men’s behaviour and the whole dynamic of the BDSM scene.  She was bombarding me with questions.  “<em>I don’t know</em>” I said to her.  “<em>I don’t try to understand, it just felt so good that I couldn’t stop myself</em>”.  “<em>But how can you enjoy humiliating and whipping a man</em>? <em>I thought you liked men</em>” said Becky with a confused expression on her face. For a few minutes I tried to understand my behaviour.  I know I love men and I couldn’t do without them.  I had always gone for big men, the kind that I would feel safe and protected with, and I had never been bossy in a relationship.  I had always liked to be taken care of at all levels and so I couldn’t understand why I was finding this new game so exciting.  Where was all this domme behaviour coming from?  Why did I feel so at ease with a riding crop<strong> </strong>and a<strong> </strong>slapper in my hand? It was not to show off, nor to please anyone.  It was just pure, raw me; a part of me that not even I had encountered before.</p>
<p>Usually I am a nice person, I don’t like putting anyone down, I don’t like physical violence or getting involved in arguments.  My friends know me as easy going, even sweet.  I have more male friends than female ones because I feel better with male company, I appreciate my male friends and I let them know how important they are to me.  Where was all this new humiliating bitchy behaviour coming from?  That previous night I whipped, with great delight, men who I had just met and had been only courteous and gallant with me.  Why then if I liked them, did I punish and humiliate them without feeling an ounce of guilt?  Why did I find it so pleasurable to whip these men who adored me?  I couldn’t understand it and I didn’t really want to understand.  Why ruin with reasoning what was good for my flesh?</p>
<p>Later that day my boy called me to see how things had gone the night before.  During the conversation I asked him to do a couple of things at home for me.  He came up with excuses as to why he couldn’t do this, that or the next thing.  I don’t know how, but still sweet and loving I changed my tone and ordered him to do exactly what I had asked or else he would be the next one trying on my riding crop.  Much to my surprise, he too changed his tone and said that he would do everything I had asked and anything else I would like to ask from him.  Before hanging up, he told me that listening to me ordering him around, imagining me dressed in leather in front of him with a<strong> </strong>riding crop ready to punish him had got him so excited that he was almost bursting out of his jeans with excitement.  He couldn’t wait to see me again!</p>
<p>What was happening to me? Why did I react like that?  What was happening to him?  Why was he so excited at the prospect of being physically punished?  Up to now we were an ordinary couple, perhaps adventurous but not enough to cross the boundaries of BDSM.  Why had I had taken on the<strong> </strong>riding crop so easily?  Why were we so at ease and eager to enter this new world?</p>
