Bound for Pleasure on SBS April 30th complete with approving rap+photo in the Age Green Guide !!!! interestingly in the same (10pm) slot where last week we had a v interesting little number about rape in American jails with a lot of straight-to-the-camera talk about takin' it up da ass somewhat more interesting than yr local Fence Jumpers eh hohohoho
This intimate and revealing documentary is curiously appealing for its normal, suburban take on B&D. Set in New Zealand, six dominatrices give extraordinary candid interviews about their work and demonstrate their craft.
Each dominatrix has her own style of operation - Mistress J, an ex-university professor acts as the films narrator, Mistress Sandy works alongside her son, Master Lance, while Mistress Margaret has her very own lifestyle slave in Bruce. Their clients, be they slaves, submissives, pain sluts or fetishists, pay several hundred dollars for a session which typically takes place in a suburban bedroom.
Domination is a concept that doesn't fit as neatly into the sex industry umbrella as some may think and the women profiled here are keen to point out that they are not "hookers with whips". A genuine dominatrix does not in fact have sex with her clients.
What then is the appeal? Both dominatrix and client offer revealing opinions and insights - the client usually anonymous behind a latex, leather or rubber mask.
