BDSM Myths & Realities w/ Mistress Justine Cross – Ep 110

On ep 110 Mistress Justine Cross sorts out BDSM myths and facts. We begin by dissecting negative stereotypes the media feeds us about kink and sex work plus learn the reasons why we’ll likely never see accurate representations in pop culture. Justine tells us about her clients, not only the ones that seek typical BDSM fare, but also those that desire self-improvement, home organization, and other seemingly not-having-to-do-with-sex things. Learn important tips for seeking community and attending your first dungeon party–from proper etiquette to what to wear. She also addresses recent legislation & online censorship making sex work dangerous and responds to the all too common question, “how can I learn to be a Pro Domme?”
