What's unacceptable, punishable by the courts or even heavy sentences, is my daily routine: outside the session, I plan my appointments, reply to e-mails, write and read about BDSM, work on my websites, think about a workshop, exchange ideas with colleagues, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I'm introduced to someone who asks about my work, I answer. This is bound to lead to a discussion of perversions and violence. Sometimes judgment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The work is demanding, invasive. I find it hard, very hard, to \"switch off\" - that's often the case for the self-employed, especially when professionalism meets passion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The heart of my life, what I spend most of my time on, is (consensual) abuse in all its forms, from the most subdued to the harshest.<br>I tell myself it's not neutral. That it can't be. That orchestrating the day-to-day taking of power must inevitably alter my balance, my appreciation of situations, my scales of strong-not-strong, my relationship with others, even if I don't realize it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing's for sure: the endorphin peaks generated by the sessions are addictive and become a necessity. Without them, everything seems quiet (a little goes a long way, too much, I get bored) and grey (a little goes a long way, too much, I mope).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What's also clear is that I can only confide in the rarest of people. My vanilla friendships are exceptions, my vanilla loves impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I first started out, I often felt at the end of my rope, and in my head an old T\u00e9l\u00e9phone hit would croak out: \"What's at the end, at the very end of the rope? Y a encore du rouleau!\"<br>Was it the sum total of all this violence, real or symbolic?<br>Fear of an attack or an accident at the Boudoir?<br>Constantly striving to do things right?<br>Requests that result in nothing but a huge waste of time?<br>The friction with customers, the feeling of being used as an object?<br>But not only that. The mental load was overwhelming. I congratulated myself on having started this activity late, when I felt solid and anchored, as if Professional Domination was a tidal wave threatening to engulf me and that I, small but mighty, perched on my high heels, had to resist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today it's different. I'm managing better. Not perfectly, but better.<br>Would I have gotten used to it? No doubt. But I still wonder: how does all this violence, however consensual, however playful, affect me as a person behind the Madame's persona? How does it change me as an individual?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Professional Domination is not a neutral profession. It cannot be.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kb-btns10273_9024f4-bb{gap:var(--global-kb-gap-xs, 0.5rem );justify-content:center;align-items:center;}.kt-btns10273_9024f4-bb .kt-button{font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;}.kt-btns10273_9024f4-bb .kt-btn-wrap-0{margin-right:5px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns10273_9024f4-bb .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button{color:#555555;border-color:#555555;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns10273_9024f4-bb .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:hover, .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns10273_9024f4-bb .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:focus{color:#ffffff;border-color:#444444;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns10273_9024f4-bb .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button::before{display:none;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns10273_9024f4-bb .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:hover, .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns10273_9024f4-bb .kt-btn-wrap-0 .kt-button:focus{background:#444444;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn kb-buttons-wrap kb-btns10273_9024f4-bb\"><style>ul.menu .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn10273_c720bf-32.kb-button{width:initial;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn10273_c720bf-32.kb-button{color:var(--global-palette8, #F7FAFC);background:var(--global-palette3, #1A202C);font-size:22px;font-family:'Cormorant Upright';font-weight:700;border-top-left-radius:11px;border-top-right-radius:11px;border-bottom-right-radius:11px;border-bottom-left-radius:11px;padding-top:8px;padding-right:14px;padding-bottom:8px;padding-left:14px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn10273_c720bf-32.kb-button:hover, .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn10273_c720bf-32.kb-button:focus{background:#ff9f00;}<\/style><a class=\"kb-button kt-button button kb-btn10273_c720bf-32 kt-btn-size-standard kt-btn-width-type-auto kb-btn-global-fill  kt-btn-has-text-true kt-btn-has-svg-false  wp-block-kadence-singlebtn\" href=\"https:\/\/madamelule.com\/en\/contact\/\"><span class=\"kt-btn-inner-text\">Book your session<\/span><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reflection on Professional Domination In sessions I abuse, I hit, I insult, I despise, I humiliate - not only, but often.I look for loopholes and I sink into them.I tie up, I...<\/p>","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":9236,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10273","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/madamelule.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10273","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/madamelule.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/madamelule.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/madamelule.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/madamelule.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10273"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/madamelule.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10273\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11127,"href":"https:\/\/madamelule.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10273\/revisions\/11127"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/madamelule.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9236"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/madamelule.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10273"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/madamelule.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10273"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/madamelule.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10273"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
