Description
Moving between the embodied world of the pro domme and the abstract realm of academia, a former sex worker, who branded herself as L.A.'s Renowned Lesbian Dominatrix, reveals how lessons from the classroom apply to the dungeon and vice versa, showing how power and desire can be renegotiated--or reinforced.Tags

audiobook nonfiction - memoir (read by the author, ~9 hrs) 27 y.o. feminist queer grad student/adjunct prof/dominatrix recounts her childhood growing up as a baby queer, her early experiences with sex, how she got into the business, and her difficulties in keeping her pro dom life separate from her personal life. (CW: explicit dom and sex scenes, internet bullying/outing, scary interactions with men showing aggression/anger)
Interesting look at how the transfer of power works between man and dom, as well as how quickly that can shift.
