The Myth of the “Real” Dominatrix vs Kinky Escort: the Power of Sensual Domination

When I started my career around 2007, it was a much different industry than what we see today. Technology and human rights movements have had a massive impact on the world of sex work.

I do love to gripe like the ancient vampire hooker that I am (19 civilian years equals approximately 100 escort years) and complain about how these kids have no idea what it was like to have a landline, print ads, and virtually zero access to screening. We booked based on vibes. And we LIKED it, goddamnit.

Kidding. Mostly. There have been massive improvements that have led to more acceptance, autonomy, and safety, and I genuinely love that.

One of the biggest shifts has been the slow death of what we call whorearchy. It is still alive and well in many circles, but most are catching on that it’s bogus and works against us all. Whorearchy is the belief that one group of sex workers is superior to another. It’s endlessly debated who sits at the top of this imaginary hierarchy, but generally the “lower” groups were those with the most physical contact, the least pay, or the least protection. 

When I started at the ripe age of 19 in Chicago, whorearchy was commonplace. It was widely believed that being a dominatrix was far superior to being an escort. Many dommes proudly stated in their ads, “I AM NOT A PROSTITUTE,” and would take to the boards - long before the days of Twitter - to report who was secretly fucking their clients. GASP. It was cliquey, dramatic, and you absolutely did not want to be on the wrong side of the mean girls.

Although I briefly started as a sugar baby but quickly pivoted to working in a dungeon because it was perceived as “better,” “safer,” and “more legal.” None of those things are actually true.

I made around $250 an hour while the house took a percentage. It was a great place to start. They had an established client base, and I was able to jump in and really learn the ropes from my community. It was hard work. So much gear. So many scripts. And submissives could be incredibly demanding. I left sugaring because the mental and emotional labor was exhausting, and ironically, a large percentage of dungeon regulars were just as intense.

Soon I realized I could make two to three times that rate and keep all of it if I went indie and fucked my clients. I’ve never been a numbers person, but even I knew that math made sense.

Also, and maybe more importantly, I was horny.

I often wanted to go further in my dungeon sessions but felt boxed in by the very serious boundary of being a “dominatrix” and “NOT a prostitute.” That never made sense to me. My dominance has always been sensual, playful, and deeply sexual. I never understood why forgoing sex was supposed to make someone more dominant. I am dominant and I take what I want!

So I left the dungeon, went independent, kept branding as a sensual domme, and fully embraced being a kinky escort.

I wanted my pussy and ass eaten. I wanted to suck and fuck dick. I wanted to use my submissives like the personal fuck toys I saw them to be. That is what felt authentic to me.

My style has always been sensual and playful, even in my darkest and most sadomasochistic sessions. I prioritize my pleasure. I use my sluts the way I see fit. That is my version of power.

And so, as I openly and proudly became an escort-dominatrix hybrid, the domme world promptly exiled me.

My name showed up on boards. I was called disgraceful. A glorified stripper. I basked in it while wiping my tears with stacks of cash and having the hottest, kinkiest time of my life.

Soon I built a strong, loyal client base that continues to this day. I still have connections with a small handful of clients from those early days!

Since, I’ve packed up taken my strap on and expanded from Chicago. I’m now based in Hudson Valley and NYC as well as doing frequent FMTY sessions, and one of the most common things I still hear from clients seeking a kinky escort - is that this is a surprisingly niche market. Many try the traditional dominatrix route and leave feeling sexually frustrated. Others experience rigid, scripted BDSM that lacks true consent or attunement. They might even be pushed into pain when they clearly said they weren’t interested.

Then they look for an escort who will tolerate BDSM, only to find a lack of real knowledge, skill, or genuine enthusiasm. 

This is where the art of the luxury KINKY companion truly lives.

Most of my clients don’t need head-to-toe leather, a tightly laced corset, or a fully equipped dungeon. Those aesthetics are fun and beautiful, and I love them, but I don’t need them. (Although, I do have some great locations to use, both Upstate and in NYC!) My kink runs deep in my depraved mind. It travels well. I can melt someone with what I carry in my body and a small handbag.

Being a sensual domme and luxury escort is an integration of the best aspects of this world. It’s where psychological dominance, deep sexuality, and social intelligence meet. It’s knowing how to dominate someone at dinner in Manhattan just as easily as when they’re tied down and begging.

It’s an art form.

I’m lucky to have incredible friends in this realm, like Ramona Ryder, who embodies this archetype more perfectly than almost anyone I know.
