"I've seen it before," says Linda, "during the tech bust in 2002. Women who thought they would always make a decent living in the tech sector lost their jobs." They came looking to Linda's industry for freelance work, and now it's happening again: professional women whose cubicle-bound careers have been downsized are entering Linda's corner of the "gig economy"--a corner that involves whips, ropes, and occasionally, nipple clamps.

Wearing corsets while performing burlesque does not make one a dominatrix.

Deeta hardly needs to put time into a dungeon to make a spectacular living.

Dita von Teese is a burlesque dancer, not a dominatrix.

If the executives who can actually still afford this stuff want to excise their feelings of guilt and shame, they should do something really masochistic ( for them ) such as supporting the Employee Free Choice Act.

I wonder if David Vitter is getting email solicitations? He seems to want to live a pampered lifestyle.

David Vitter's taking a k/nappie, but when he wakes up I'm sure he'll answer all his soliciations! Sh*tty is as sh*tty does!

You might as well have fun if you are self-employed.

It sure "beats" being unemployed.

it's not about prostitution. it's about dominating another person, usually a man. seldom is sex involved. not my cup of tea,,,,,,,,tried it once. more about acting out fantasies than actually having sex.

Older dominatrices are as good as the young ones. All it takes is teh determination to whip somebody into shape.

"All it takes is teh determination to whip somebody into shape."

A number of years ago here in San Diego we had a dominatrix running for the State Assembly. Mistress Madison if I remember correctly, she campaigned saying that she was "going to whip Sacramento into shape." She lost the election, but we sure could use her now to get the State budget passed.
