Working as a domina oder bizarrlady
Is this career suitable for me?
Furs, Porsches, and swinging whips.
Many imagine the world of the domina to be glamorous and lucrative. Mornings at your stylist, intimidating slaves throughout the day, evenings as the life of the party, surrounded by elegant friends and champagne.
Dreams are indeed an elementary part of the job in professional S&M, but the focus is the dreams of the client. First and foremost, a domina is a service provider, and a hard working one at that!
But what exactly makes a good domina?
What's in the job description and what exactly do clients expect?
How realistic is the expectation that one will earn money in this career, and what must one do to reach this point?
The meeting is intended to provide insight into the activites in the dominant, bizarre or passive arenas. If you are thinking about changing your career in the direction, this is a great place to start. The orientation is intended to dispell prejudices and encourage dreams.
The speakers will explain the ins and outs of their highly variable workdays.
Afterwards there is a personal part which helps each participant to critically analyse whether this career choice would suit them, followed by an open Q&A.

Bizarre and tangible dominance - working since 2009 in various bordellos and studios in Germany and Switzerland. During her studies she worked as a prostitute and escort, followed by 11 years in marketing. After landing a Germany wide leadership position, she made the choice to return to sex work. After a few experiments she found her place as a domina, for physical closeness and dominance are anything but contradictory.
