Please describe what you do.

The Compound is a private Female Dominant Studio. It is recognized Internationally, contains fully equipped theme rooms, and is located in a fashionable upscale area. I am a Domina as well as a sadist and dominant bondage enthusiast, but I have other interests that are well represented by my choice of theme rooms and the films I have made. The Compound contains an Industrial Dungeon, Victorian Punishment Boudoir, Medical Room and Jail Cell area. A person could choose to be a prisoner, patient, fetish slave, sissy, masochist, slave ect...I mainly attract experienced players. I have the experience and intellectual capacity to challenge my play partners. Domination is primarily a psychological experience and there are many role play possibilities.

What is it that people want you to do most often?

I don’t ask them. I do what I want. Since I am a primarily a bondage Top, I attract people who desire physical and psychological restraint. I have a lot of equipment that has to do with this. My other play rooms are more equipped than most BDSM fetish stores. I am a collector of devises. People know I am a gadget freak, and often send me emails and letters to talk about equipment. I encourage this because I get new ideas.

What are people seeking?

It is different for each individual. There are spanking enthusiasts, bondage bottoms, medical patients, masochists, sissy girls, various types of slaves and prisoners, fetishists and role players. I enjoy many different types of individuals. Often someone can be 3 or more of these things. The key is to understanding how the mind works.

I am a Woman Who sets her own rules and genuinely enjoys being in charge. I have a lot of charisma and sexual energy. I have a good sense of humor, and can re-present a scene in a different way each time that is more exciting than the last. I am full of surprises and creativity. People contact me to 'make a connection' with this energy.

There are 4 main reasons people want BDSM.

a). To face their facts (therapy)

b). To 'not be in charge' for a change (to trust Someone Else to be)

c). Catharsism (through the discipline, bondage, spanking, whipping ect...)

d). Eroticism (experience fantasies and get off)

This is not simply a sexual thing, though it is somewhat sexual. Sex is not the crux of it. I don’t have sex in these explorations. I enact mind boggling scenarios. I shake people up, send lightening bolts up and down their spines, take them on roller coaster rides, make them think, laugh, cry, and feel previously bottled up emotions.

Any special DVDs that you think capture the kind of things that happen in your dungeon?

There are DVDs on all subjects in all of the theme rooms at the Compound. Activities such as: male and female slaves enjoying CBT, genitorture, caning, bullwhipping, tickle torture, humiliation, electricity, fetish, bondage, medical scenarios, spanking, and fetish exploration in the Plush Victorian Boudoir, Industrial Gothic Chamber, Jail Cell area, and Clinic!

Any that you find especially appealing?

The most popular tend to be the more extreme subject matters, like head shaving, medical tribulations (examinations and inspections), strapon play, forced bisexual scenes, extreme whipping, unusual electrical scenarios, and heavy corporal. There are many pieces of custom built large scale bondage furniture that feature prominently too.

Do you ever film with women?

Oh yes!

How did you get started?

From reading thus far, you can probably tell that I used to be an artist. My art began to go towards S/M inspired landscapes, and then into live performances addressing many issues including sexual discrimination, societal backlash against the 3rd wave of feminism, and political issues which are also relevant to the scene, and so it was a natural progression for Me to become a Domina and start making BDSM films. It began as an experiment - 'an artist in the lab'. I am an erotic renegade female dominant performance artist you see.

Any advice for a person interested in the scene but doesn’t know where to start?

That would depend on what you plan on doing with it and if it's a lifestyle or professional quest and if you are a bottom, switch or Top. Choose carefully, but always remember that you can return to your point of departure and plan it all out again in a totally different way. There are no mistakes if you feel something strongly in your heart.
