A Plague of ProDommes
I read that Gloria Brame said the professional dominatrices are a plague. I guess like the locusts Moses sent against the ancient Egyptians but in this case money making women devouring the fields of femdom.
I can’t imagine Gloria Brame making a generalization like that. Besides the place where I saw the remark provided no context, no all important details (not faulting the person).
I doubt many people engaged in BDSM or the like - since many people abhor that acronym - regard say Mistress Matisse as a ravaging force. Not to mention SadoMasoKitten and other women who dominate for cash (and perhaps fun).
Regardless of the annoyingly necessary disclaimers professional dominatrices are sex workers. They provide a service for remuneration. And all service providers of any stripe can be divided into those who are:
- Ethical
- Dishonest
- Talented
- Capable
- Incompetent
Perhaps what Gloria was thinking of is the rapid spread of women who go online and declare themselves dominants. Most notably the money mistresses and financial dominatrices who are under the illusion that easy wealth will be theirs if they say “ha ha wanker” often enough.
While Princess Melissa Pentauk at Humiliatrix may use that sort of patter there’s more hard work than many would think in successfully creating such an enterprise.
The faux-dominants who think putting up donate buttons is an easy path the money will quickly find that getting someone to click on them isn’t just plucking a sucker. The women that stay in the trade and profit by it provide a good deal more.
People in the loving female authority subculture have other objections to professional dominatrices but that is a matter for another time.

As a Pro Dom I obviously have a bias here but I feel that this is part of the problem with puritanistic American culture- titillated by all things sexual yet revealing people like me who are out front with their sexuality. No wonder so many people stay in the closet

Sorry should have written reviling not revealing

I must agree with what Leah says. While I can’t imagine ever going to a pro, it’s obvious why they exist.
It’s supply and demand.
If there were more dominant women out there looking for submissive men, it wouldn’t be such a big deal.
Go to any BDSM dating site and look at the ratio of dominant to submissive men. It’s pretty small. Now take out all of the ads by pros. It’s now next to nothing.
