Obsessed

I was told today that the scent coming from my foot is mesmerizing, hypnotic, an aphrodisiac. Well, not in so many words, but clearly the subject on the floor looking up at me past my toes and instep would have wanted to say that, if only he had been able to string together the syllables, which is sometimes hard to do with a foot planted squarely in your mouth.

Whether he said it or not, he was right. The secret to my addictive foot fragrance is in the boots—I love to wear them, it's one of my very few addictions. (I am also addicted to latex and caffeine, both of which are too obvious to talk about.) But it's about time I exposed myself, that is, my obsession with boots, especially black leather, form-fitting, and high heeled, preferably with a platform. The fact is, I wear boots almost daily, even in summer, because we all know that the A/C is on too high inside of most places in the summertime anyway. But this is winter, in case you haven't been paying attention, so at this point I am in boots every single day—sometimes steel-toed, sometimes thick-soled, sometimes fuzz-lined, sometimes spike-heeled. I wear them not only because I love the way they look on my feet and legs, but I love how toasty they keep my feet. And I don't mind admitting that from time to time, my feet are slightly moist with perspiration, and when removed from the boot, have a tendency to release a very noticeable aroma.

Deal with it.

Photo Set Archive: The Top

As I'm sure you already know, I finally got around to updating the MyRealityPlane gallery with a set from the super fun photo shoot I did at Sully the Genius Metal Worker's pad a couple months ago. (Thanks again, Sully!) Benevolent as I am, I have decided that none of you should have to exist in a world with less photos of me, and will be posting archives of all retired gallery sets here, so you can look at them forever and ever and ever.

Pause for standing ovation.

You're welcome.

There's a reason why this set is called The Top.


It's not just because I am The Top,
though clearly that's an integral part of it.
But another quite overwhelming part of it is how
I adore putting on tall shoes and boots,
making myself as tall as possible,
crashing through the ceiling and scraping the sky,
swatting at airplanes and King Kongs and such,
a momentary distraction until
I turn my attention back to swatting at you,
puny, small, exposed, vulnerable,
all the way down there.



These are the boots I like to wear when
you're on the floor at my feet,
and the best part is when I trap your wrists or neck
in the space between my boot heel and toe,
forcing you to be still, to stare up at me as I tower over you.
I do so love to tower over you.



Just about as much as I love to hover directly above you,
looking down on you, watching you struggle to remain still
as you do your best to assume the state of a nice, comfy,
sturdy piece of furniture, if that's how I've decided
you'll best serve me in the moment.



Giddyup! And don't make me use my spurs!
*finger wagging*
(As if you could make me.
I'll use my spurs when I fucking well please,
and you'll fucking well thank me for it.)



I am always on top,
sometimes less than inches away from you,
restraints holding you perfectly still in place,
reminding you that an inch may as well be forever,
because an inch from forever is as close as you'll ever get.
(Now that's torture—ha! Deal with it.)



This one's a gift, for obvious reasons. Happy Holidays!

Ripples in Still Dark Water

I was lured out of the city this past weekend by Master R and Mistress Collette of La Domaine Esemar, and as a result spent a weekend in the country that continues to reverberate, and no doubt will for some time. As much as I'd like to reveal all the lurid details of the revelry that took place, I am holding back out of respect for a line on the La Domaine website: "We insist that people at an Esemar party do not discuss the particulars of their party with anyone who was not in attendance." I will however say that their couples party is like no other party I've attended, and I'll give you my overall impressions.

La Domaine is one of a kind, at least here in New York, perhaps in the world. It is both a lifestyle and professional establishment that operates on the level of a highly structured D/s training household. The slaves in attendance were all incredibly well-trained, and (from my perspective, which is what matters!) worked quite well together despite varying levels of experience. There were a half dozen or so there for the sole purpose of entertaining and serving me (and the other guests, I suppose). It was made clear to me from the moment I arrived that I would have every need and whim catered to by any one of the slaves, all I needed to do was ask, though more often than not my needs were met or anticipated without a word. The grounds are beautiful and private, and the subterranean dungeon, um, yeah, fucking WOW. Any scenario imaginable is possible there. It's quite large and is filled with one-of-a-kind implements and custom made bondage furniture and torture devices. Some really fucking cool shit, bizarre shit, gorgeous shit, you name it. In fact, I dare you to try and come up with something they don't have or can't provide.

But more impressive than any physical aspect of La Domaine is the general atmosphere of the place. Master R and Mistress Collette somehow manage to create a warm, welcoming, comfortable environment, ideal conditions for self-exploration, self-exposure, self-realization, whatever you're open to, and they do it while seamlessly running a full staff of slaves who are on constant alert. The guests who gathered ranged from relative newbie to extremely experienced. We mixed easily, quickly falling into the vibe set in place by the Master and Mistress of the house. I felt spoiled, adored, worshiped—it was really fucking cool. Fuck yeah. I'll be back.

I realize this reads like a review. Deal with it. The fact is, ruminations and inspirations from the weekend keep coming back to me, like expanding ripples in still, dark water. Even if full disclosure was acceptable, it would be nearly impossible to accurately relate my experience at this point. But today is your lucky day, because somewhere in my thoughts about the weekend, this piece of fiction I wrote almost exactly a year ago popped into my head—a fantasy about a lifestyle BDSM dinner party. I was shocked and appalled at my having let it sit buried for so long, but now that I think about it, it was waiting for this kind of introduction. (FYI, it's much too long to post in entirety here, so the rest will be at SeverineFeist.com.)

To be clear, this is absolute fantasy, written a year ago, inspired in hindsight by the revelry at La Domaine. It is only representative of what happened there this past weekend in terms of the sense of community and commitment to deviancy my characters share with the amazing group of people I met at the chateau. Enjoy—and that's a fucking order!


[Dinner.]

“Mistress, I don’t mean to ask for any special privileges, but if you would allow me the pleasure and honor, I would love to debut as your Third at a dinner party where I’m fully feminized and on display with your collar.  I’ll create a five-course meal with everything I know to be your favorite, and I’ll serve it to you and your friends, or anyone you’d like to attend.  If it’s more than six people, I can hire outside help, or I can work with a team of your subjects, whatever you prefer.  And if you’d allow me, I’d sit at your feet and eat from a plate on the floor, only after everyone else has been served, of course.”

Alpha was delighted at the suggestion, and put together a guest list that included six seats at the table and an additional five places on the floor, for Three, One and Two, as well as for two more submissives that would be invited to come with her guests.  One designed, created and hand-delivered the invitations, and waited while the six positive RSVPs were written and handed back.  Alpha had only invited guests that she knew would be more than pleased to attend, and who would arrange their schedules to accommodate Three’s coming out dinner party.

Alpha’s place was at the head of the table, and there were cushions on the floor to her right and left, where One and Three would sit and eat.  Two’s place was along the wall under the large window that overlooked Central Park, and there were two empty spots next to him.

Frederick arrived first and alone, giving off a high sheen partly from his twinkling smile but mostly from his latex, a long sleeved black top with matching jodhpurs.

“You’re not planning on eating much, are you, dear?” Alpha smiled at him as he came in and removed his overcoat, which Two took from him to hang in the front coat closet.

“You know I’m watching my girlish figure,” he winked and twinkled back.  “Besides, you know it's either this, the catsuit or the body bag, and this is my most accommodating.  I would never come out of dress code, you know that, doll.”

Alpha couldn’t blame him, as she knew his fetish wardrobe well from having played together as peers for the past several years.  Frederick was a switch, and they were equals everywhere except behind the privacy of closed doors, when he was on the floor at her feet or as a target for the end of her single tail.  He could take a whipping like no one else she knew, and she adored the way he smiled through every moment.  Charming.  If he wasn’t so masculine and such a non-submissive masochist, she would have found a way to work him into her top tier, giving One a run for his position.  Fortunately for One, Frederick could never give up flirting with women while out at the monthly play parties, intuiting which were most likely to be switches, so he could play out his dominance, then bring them back to his place where he'd strip down and grovel at their feet in a not quite equal private power exchange.  One knew this, and it gave him a massive crush on Frederick, which he had made obvious to Alpha after their first meeting by curtsying after they shook hands, then cowering away from Frederick and hugging Alpha’s ankles.

“If you’re a good boy, sweetie, I’ll give you a little piece of One for dessert later on,” she said with a wink.

“Mmm, hard to resist, I’ll think about that,” Frederick said, though they both knew that his interest in male subs was relegated to his random role in a forced bi scenario directed by a woman who was topping him.  He considered himself to be heteroflexible, a term used by many in the scene that Alpha thought was hilariously nondescriptive.  

The next two guests arrived, in the form of Kiki and her sissy slave Coco.  Kiki squeeled out what was meant to be laughter combined with a greeting, and with a wild wave of her arms, threw herself around Alpha as she flung her coat towards Coco.  Two instantly took the coat from Coco, hung it, and directed her to the floor next to the window, next to his spot.

“My love!” Kiki cried.  “And look!  It’s Freddie!  Hello sweetie!” Kiki slammed against Frederick’s middle, and he picked her up to give her the requisite spin before setting her back onto her feet.

“Hello lovely, and look at you—just how did you manage to squeeze into that?” Frederick said, holding her hands and stretching her arms out so they could admire her, tiny, shiny pink and tightly wrapped as she was in Victorian brocade corsetry under an intricately laced long latex dress.

“Oh you know, Coco has become an expert in lacing, haven’t you, baby?” she said in Coco’s direction.

“Yes, Ma’am,” Coco said in a tiny voice, with legs folded neatly underneath her and hands on the floor.  Coco was dressed in a black and white latex maid’s uniform and Mary Jane’s.  Her face was pale with a heavy, artfully applied layer of makeup, accentuated with a beauty mark, rosy cheeks and lips in an exaggerated pucker of shiny red, topped off by a wig in the shape of a short black bob. 

“Isn’t she so darling!” Kiki squeaked with a little hop.  “She’s been very good, maybe we’ll let her perform for us later, shall we love?” 

“Of course, if she serves well this evening.  Here’s what she’ll do,” she explained to Kiki.  "It’s Three’s night, as you know, so she’ll follow his instructions to the letter, serving and clearing and cleaning, because I know how well you’ve trained her.  Then we’ll see how we feel around desert time.”

“Yes, yes, yes!”  Kiki punctuated every syllable with hand claps.  “As long as she has time to loosen my corset by an inch every hour, my love!”

Another knock at the door brought the remaining four guests.  Sapphire and Lana were holding hands and a leash that was attached to their female submissive, Snack, who was kneeling behind them and holding their coats.  Next to the trio was Clutch, who usually traveled with a slave or two in tow, but lately was taking a break from overseeing a stable.  Not that he had given them up, but the way he played with and trained his constellation of female subs stationed in New York, five other states, and Canada, he was periodically exhausted and needed to abstain for weeks, sometimes months at a time.  His subs waited patiently, delving into vanilla pursuits in avoidance of all things sexual, including masturbation, until he ended their sequester.

The next round of greetings were an unintelligible blend of “How are you?” and “I’ve missed you!” and “Aren’t you gorgeous!” and “You’re in trouble, you’ve been in hiding!” When the group disentangled enough for Two to determine which clothes were coats that needed hanging and which were still covering bodies, he did his job then stepped aside, bringing Snack with him to their place by the window. 

“Sapphire, Lana, you two know Frederick, yes?” Alpha waved her hands in symphonic introduction. “And I know you do, Clutch, but have you met Kiki’s little Coco?  Would you just look at how cute she is?” 

At the mention of her name, Coco stood up, curtsied quickly and sat down, as Snack giggled and clapped her hands together. 

“Oh, we know Frederick,” said Lana as she pinched Sapphire’s elbow.  “Don’t we, darling?”

“Well, yes, yes of course we do!” laughed Sapphire.  Frederick said nothing, just gave the slightest twinkle of a tooth but otherwise kept his mouth shut.

“We’ve all got stories to trade, don’t we?” said Clutch.  “I can’t wait to get to the main course and hear all about this one.  I can only imagine what kind of trouble you to have gotten into with Freddie.  He’s such the slippery one, isn’t he?”

“Later, later, come now, it’s time to sit, it’s time for champagne and then it’s time for course one!” Alpha said, ushering them all to their seats.

Plug This, Bitch

Ha! Made you look!

If you've just read my post on Max Fisch about {xcess, then cover your eyes with your hands, and sit there facing the computer for the next six minutes. Okay, now get up and go do something else, I don't know, go get yourself a drink or a snack. Maybe take a shower or something.

Okay. If you haven't already read it, listen up! Or read up, rather. I'm plugging again! And since you know I insist on only telling you the important shit, you are now starting to notice yourself getting excited and feeling thankful.

You're welcome.

I went to the inaugural {xcess party on Halloween after SMack—got there at 2am and stayed until 8am. (November 1st was expendable, as far as I was concerned.) This party is being put on by the creators of Suspension, so think of it as similar to Suspension, only in a much larger space, and ANYTHING goes. Anything. And if it goes off well, this will be a monthly Saturday party. Since you know how I love to state the obvious, let me say this for clarity's sake: I'm plugging it because I've seen the space, and I want the party to be a hit, because I want a new monthly Saturday party.

See you Saturday. I for one plan to wield a large arsenal.

Here's the event copy, as posted on FetLife:

This location is totally private. Not a bar, not a club.
Multiple floors, killer DJs with performance dance area, dungeon, medical room, private smoking area.

date: Saturday, November 14, 2009
time: 10:00 PM to 04:00 AM
where: Tribe Theater
address: 279 Church Street btwn White and Franklin
cost: $25 for the creative, $40 to the boring, mundane and uninspired
dress code: Creative, fetish, burners, vintage, costume, cyber, tech, freak, even geek to the max. Jeans and sneakers ousted with prejudice.

From the creators and co-producers of SUSPENSION - NYC, BONDAGE BUS - Montreal, and THE ULTIMATE AFTERPARTY - Las Vegas comes...

{xcess
(Same Suspension people, different name.)

....express your individuality, explore your senses, enter the spinning kaleidoscope of color and noise. Add your imprint to the design, a living, breathing work of art. Dance. Move to your different beat, your different drum. Explore the darker side, let passions explode. Extinguish whatever held you back. Surrender to the impulse. You are your own god, your own goddess, bending the world into your image. Creation never stops. Reach out, open up. Extrapolate. Tonight go beyond. Exist to the point of {xcess.

Not for the timid. NO Photos allowed!

Excerpt from $pread Mag: He's a Hustler, Baby!

The following is an excerpt from $pread Magazine's last issue (volume 5.1). Volume 5.2 is ready to go to press, pending your donation.

He's a Hustler, Baby: Reluctant Pornographer Bruce LaBruce On the Dying Art of the Street Hustle

Interview by Brian Kilgo-Kelly

Brian Kilgo-Kelly caught up with the Canadian filmmaker, writer and photographer in Berlin via Skype in March. The interview mostly focuses on an earlier film of LaBruce's from 1996, the iconic Hustler White, which documents the-then fading Santa Monica hustler scene with a perfect mix of sleaze, provocation, and sweet nostalgia. LaBruce has since made several films with ever-larger budgets and ever-higher production values, most recently the visually luscious, obscenely charming gay zombie flick, Otto; or Up With Dead People.

I thought we could start out talking about Hustler White, given that it's a film about sex work and contains unsimulated sex [a sex scene shot without formal direction]. What drove you to make a film about the L.A. hustlers?

Well, really it was kind of a desire to document a dying scene. You know street prostitution, especially male street prostitution, is kind of disappearing everywhere. At least it? true for Western Europe, America and Canada, because of the Internet and whatnot, and the police being assholes and trying to keep people off the streets. So the Los Angeles, the Santa Monica Boulevard scene had been one of the more vibrant, interesting hustler scenes, well, street scenes, anywhere. Within the film, the character Monti, played by Tony Ward, gives a brief history of hustling in Hollywood and we document all of the sites of street hustling. So, like my character in the movie, Jurgen Anger, says, it was sort of for anthropological reasons on some level. His name comes from my producer's first name, and then Anger, as in Kenneth Anger. Kenneth wasn't very pleased about our little jokes.

We got a lot of our friends who were hustlers and johns or porn stars in Los Angeles to tell us their stories and their experiences with prostitution on camera. Then we incorporated a lot of those stories into the film, so it is kind of a document of things that really happened in L.A. regarding the hustling phenomenon.

In your book, The Reluctant Pornographer, you tell a story about the way you named the main character, Monti.

Right. We had cast a hustler named Monti who had been living with our friend Glen Meadmore, who plays the cowboy in the film. About three weeks before shooting he took off with all of Glen's possessions, stole his car and went to Texas, or something. So that's how we ended up hiring Tony Ward, and we kept Monti's first name and used Tony's last name and the character wound up being Montgomery Ward, which is conveniently the name of a national chain of department stores.

Then, in the book, you go on to say, but he was what Hustler White is all about. I can't help but feel that there's something kind of Nietzschean about the way you portray these hustlers. They're sort of outside of society in this self-sufficient way.

Ubermensch? Well definitely they are portrayed as noble. They're kind of like shabby nobility. They're very romantic and very strong. I mean, the figure of Eigel is such a stoic kind of strong character, even physically. He has this extraordinary body, and I think he's quite handsome as well, and then he's missing a leg but it doesn't slow him down.

That stumping scene was indelibly engraved on my mind the first time I saw the film.

[Laughs] We knew that there was a well-established fetish for amputees, and the magazine that we show in the movie, Amputee Times, which is a real magazine, is based around the sexual fetishization of amputees. But then when it came to the penetration scene, we wanted to do it in a kind of romantic style, with a soft filter on the lens and contemplative Eastern-sounding music to give it a real sort of exotic, romantic flavor. Nothing harsh or exploitative.

Your unsimulated sex scenes are unlike any porn I've seen. There's so much less emphasis on close-ups of hard cocks going in and out of holes...

Well, in Hustler White that's true, and No Skin Off My Ass, and Super 8 1/2, and Raspberry Reich.

And even Skin Flick, there's that amazing blowjob that's so intense, but somehow almost discreet.

Yeah, but Skin Gang, the hardcore version of Skin Flick, is a full-on porn, and the sex scenes are shot in a very conventional way. The producers at that time insisted that I do a full-on hardcore version that they could sell as a porn movie. What I learned is that porn is actually a very conventional medium and those conventions are usually very strictly adhered to. The kind of camera angles that are used, the acting style, the narrative structure...

The all-importance of the cum shot.

Yeah, all that stuff is very conventional. And, in fact, the audience resents it when you don't conform to those conventions.For the first three films it was really just a matter of having no experience in making porn. There? a real skill in shooting porn. You have to cast actors with sexual chemistry, paying attention to who's top and bottom and versatile. And then you have to create an atmosphere on set that's conducive to sex.

Hustler White has this recurring visual motif of $20, $50 or even $100 on a bed, which is obviously to remind the viewer that all of this is sex for pay. What's your take on sex for pay more generally?

Well, I think among a lot of gay men at some point in their life do dabble in hustling, or have dabbled in hustling when they were younger, and certainly dabble in being johns when they're older, if not becoming full-fledged johns. So it's almost like a rite of passage.

There was a street hustling scene in Toronto, which doesn't really exist anymore for male hustlers; there are still trannies and some girls left. Incidentally there's a vigilante gay group that goes out on Friday and Saturday night with whistles and flashlights and tries to run the trannies off the streets. It's really horrible. It's these conservative gays who've become property owners and they're complaining about the street scene and the drugs and whatever. It's really bad, the oppressed becoming the oppressor.

But the boys used to hang out on this street called Breadalbane. I was in my early twenties and I would just go there and hang out in the street and get picked up by older men in cars. Some of them would have family pictures on the dashboard or on the speedometer. I did it mostly out of curiosity, but I got paid. I only did it half a dozen times or something. So yeah, it's always fascinated me. It's the world's oldest profession!

Well, as you mentioned before, the internet is totally changing everything. What do you think about the sort of packaged project that sites like Rentboy.com offer?

It's very businesslike now. And there is a difference between that kind of hustling and traditional street hustling. There's an element of street hustling that's much more connected with petty street crime and street life. It's a different kind of class of hustler, you know, not in terms of value judgment, but it's more like a working-class reality in a way. It's much more scrappy and hand-to-mouth.

But there also seems to be more dare I say the word, community.

Yeah, for sure. And that's the sad thing. Sneakers was a great hustler bar in Toronto. Every city used to have one and those are disappearing as well. Sneakers was open from the mid-'90s right up until about two years ago. Any night of the week you could go there and there was always some kind of unexpected entertainment. Or you could talk to the hustlers and they usually had a lot of interesting stories to tell. You know, some of them had just gotten out of jail or had recently been arrested. And then a lot of the johns had developed a mentoring relationship with some of them.

It really did, in a way, encourage young guys who might not have normally dabbled in hustling to do it, because this was a relatively safe haven and they could develop sugar daddy relationships with older men. The police were constantly harassing the owners and trying to shut it down and they finally succeeded.

As for the title of your book, The Reluctant Pornographer, what do you mean by reluctant? You don't really seem all that reluctant to me.

Well, the whole thrust of porn, so to speak, is that it's meant to be this spontaneous, illusionary ideal of sexual perfection. The bodies are perfect and it's surprisingly clean, people fuck and there's no leakage.

It builds to this crescendo of sexual pleasure and then there;s this fountain of cum. Everything is totally schematic and perfectly realized. But there's a lot of work that goes into presenting that illusion. When I finally made my first real porn, which was Skin Gang, I was in there wiping anal leakage off of people and covering up shit-stained sheets. So, you know, it is creating an illusion. And there? nothing that glamorous at all about making porn. If everyone knew what it was like to make it, they'd probably be reluctant also.

They'd be reluctant consumers of porn, too?

Yeah. And there's also this misconception that there's no kind of morality in porn, that it's just a morass of sexual excess and hedonism, and that everyone is amoral or immoral. But in fact I think you need to have a very strong moral compass to negotiate through porn because there are lots of different ethical questions and there is a lot of negativity in that world and you have to maintain a strong sense of your own morality.

For example, I initially had a rule that I would never ask anyone to do anything on film that I wouldn't do myself. Which is one reason that I performed in my first three films and did unsimulated sex myself on film.

Doesn't context matter? I'd think that being in one of your films would be less stigmatizing than some.

Well, you'd think so, but a lot of people don't make that kind of distinction. There's a line that you cross, which I call the cornhole line. Once you've been cornholed on film, it doesn't matter what the context is.

Well, how would you characterize the line that Christophe Chemin crosses in Otto when he fucks the gaping hole in that guy's side? That's kind of a whole new level.

Actually, I was shocked that people were so shocked by that because it's done almost as a joke. It's a reference to Andy Warhol's Frankenstein: In order to know life you have to fuck it in the gall bladder. And it's done with a simple special effect, there's nothing that gory about it. It's just the idea that's shocking I guess.

What are you working on now?

I'm doing a theater project in Zurich with Susanne Sachsse and Vaginal Davis. After that, I'm participating in an avant-garde performance festival in London co-curated by my friend Ron Athey called Visions of Excess, an 18-hour performance extravaganza with Lee Adams and a bunch of other performers/artists. I'm doing an Irish Republican Army zombie porn photo shoot thing, the IRA coming back from the dead and fucking each other and fucking their British oppressors. Then I'm working on a script for a new film that I'm not really talking about yet, but the working title is Gerontophilia. I also have a show at my gallery in L.A., Peres Projects, in May, and the idea is to make an actual low-budget gay zombie splatter film. So, I'm trying to pull the financing for that together now.

The Doctor Will See You Now

Hello Peter, I’m Dr. Feist. I’ll be performing your physical today. Or should I say, you’ll be performing for me, won’t you? Ha ha ha. Have a seat so I can go over a few things before we get started.

As you know, you’re in the final stages of the interview process for a company with what is likely the strictest security policy in existence. You have been culled from hundreds of international candidates, and are one of the final three. Your performance today will determine whether or not The Company is to retain your services. Are you prepared to proceed?

Good. Do you have any questions for me, before we do so?

No? Good.

I realize that you know certain things about me, such as the information that is publicly available on The Company’s website. I also realize that you have heard certain things about me from your peers who have already been put through the system, and who you’ve met with as part of your interview process. What you don’t know is that your peers have not told you the complete story. They have been counseled and trained, and have all agreed to keep certain information about me unspoken, on penalty of a few dire consequences that you’ll learn more about later.

Peter, I respect the fact that there is now fear in your eyes, yet you sit quietly waiting for more information before reacting. Very well done. You should know that the fear you are now feeling is based on the reality you believe that you are currently a part of, and is therefore unfounded in the reality that you are about to enter. But don’t think too long or hard about that, I’ll explain it all to you in time.

As I was saying, you actually know very little about me. What you do know about me from my published company bio is that I am a medical doctor and surgeon, and that I have PhDs in clinical psychology and business administration. Which is all so very impressive, isn’t it, Peter?

Quiet. That was a rhetorical question.

What your peers have told you is that I have a rather, well, unorthodox yet very affective approach in dealing with interview subjects such as yourself. They have told you that the road leading to the final decision regarding whether you’ll be retained or not is an extremely difficult one, but in the end you will look back on the experience with an unusually keen sense of satisfaction. They have also advised you to only move forward with the interview process if you feel intuitively that you should, and they would not answer you when you asked them why.

Now I have a question for you, Peter, before I move on to divulging the information that your peers and superiors have been instructed not to tell you. Peter, how badly do you want to be here?

An immediate and confident reply, good. I want you to be sure you’re in the right place, whether or not you’re certain where or what this place is, because you’re about to give up all of the rights you thought you have had up until now. That’s right, Peter, all of the rights you have enjoyed as an employee, and indeed, all of the rights you ever thought you had as a man.

Very impressive. You look slightly confused, but you’re waiting for further disclosure to react, to ask questions. So be it.

Peter, I am not who you think I am, that much is clear to you already. All of the things you know and have heard about me are true, but there is so much more to it than that. First I’ll tell you that I am the Owner of The Company. Yes, I know you’re surprised, you never would have thought it was me, would you have? We have taken (and some would say given) great pains to keep that information confidential. I am the Owner of The Company, and I am also The Company’s head of human resources, as well as The Company’s on-site physician.

I have been watching you, Peter, I have been hunting your head as it were. True, you have had no direct contact with me before today, but I am the one who noticed you, the one who has been tracking your behavior, the one who had cameras installed in your office, in your car, and in your home.

I see by your reaction, or your lack of reaction, that you knew this intuitively, that now you understand what that constant feeling was, that uncanny feeling of being in a room with someone when you were sure that you were alone. That’s good, Peter, I like my subjects to be intelligently and respectfully passive.

The fact is, Peter, you haven’t been alone for some time now; you have been with me. I’ve been watching you, studying you, analyzing your movements and your speech, your habits, your proclivities—yes, Peter, I know everything about you—for several months now. I was instrumental in your being laid off from your previous position, just as I was instrumental in the generous severance you were given, allowing you the unrushed extra time you needed to find yourself here.

You’re now realizing the scope of your new reality, Peter. You realize now that you have become much smaller in the scheme of things suddenly, though you feel so much more conspicuous than you ever have before.

The bottom line, Peter, is that I have chosen you. When I first found you, I knew intuitively, as I do with all of my subjects, that you were destined to serve me.

Yes, Peter, to serve me. And your body language agrees with me, though your mind still struggles to understand how exactly you got here, what you’re doing in this room, why all sounds from outside that door have now faded, why my voice has taken the place of every other thought in your head.

There is no job for you here, Peter. No career, no upward mobility, no lateral transition, no potential for advancement, no sign-on bonus. There is only me. Peter, I want you to know that you are being filmed, and I want you to look at me—because the camera is on the wall directly behind me—I want you to look at me and tell me that you agree. You will look at me now and you will say to me, “I agree, Ma’am.”

Good, Peter, very good. I am so pleased with you, with your lack of hesitation, with your not allowing the question to trump your instinctual following of my command; the question a less devoted subject, one without the benefit of your destiny, would have asked: “What am I agreeing to?”

No need to let that question even form, Peter. You simply agreed to me, not with me, to me, as you will continue to agree from now on, to every thing I say to you, to every position I put you in, to every thing that is done to you, to every command, every directive, every instruction. And you didn’t ask the question, didn’t even let it form in your head, because you know that you had already agreed, that you had already chosen to remain in this room with me for as long as I would have you the moment that I closed and locked the door behind you.

Peter, get on your knees. Good boy. And Peter, say hello to your Mistress’s boots. Give them each a kiss to show your acceptance of your new position here at The Company, Peter. That’s a good boy. Now stand back up, Peter, it’s time for your physical.

Strip.

Talking Dirty

Tomorrow (Saturday) I will sit at a Masocast roundtable (even if it's rectangular) and discuss BDSM related topics with three other intensely fabulous Dommes: Ayla, Sade and Troy Orleans. I will do my best to sound articulate and intelligent, if I can keep my hands out of my pants!

Seriously, I mean how am I suppose to concentrate on answering questions and/or having discourse sitting alongside three sexy, dominant women such as these???

I refuse.

No, I'm not refusing to sit in on the roundtable, I'm refusing to promise that anything articulately phrased or well-thought out will emerge from my mouth.

I do promise, however, to spew obscenities, lewd comments, and off-color jokes. If necessary, I will improvise limericks, and repeatedly repeat any cliche or pun that sounds remotely dirty, and if it doesn't sound dirty by god then I will make it sound dirty using the power of my incredibly dirty mind.

Fuck that. I'm not promising anything. Well, maybe I'll promise one or two easy things: I promise to have a glass of bubbly, and I promise to talk about the ways we love to torture people and the philosophies behind the lifestyle and pro scenes.

Nah, fuck that. I'm just promising to have a glass of bubbly and sit around chatting with three scathingly hot Dommes. That's it. I may or may not talk dirty, I may or may not get turned on, I may or may not make one or two aesthetically poignant statements about whatever the fuck it pleases me to talk about.

Clearly I have no idea what we're going to talk about. I have a feeling someone else has some ideas, for example Ayla mentioned topics such as "BDSM as Sacred Sex" and "Therapeutic Properties of BDSM." I'm inclined to bring up the subject of clones, as in, "If you had one or more clones of yourself, would you top or bottom with her (them)?"

But what do you want to hear us talk about? All respectfully phrased questions and topics will be considered.

You can post them via comment to my blog; email them to me or to masocast@gmail.com; Twitter them to me or to unspeakableaxe; or leave a message in the Masocast voicemail at 917-720-7304.

Do it!
