Time For A Little Warmth

Hello dear ones,

Hope the winter blahs are not too awful this year. I can probably improve things if they are...nothing like a tanned behind on those cold winter nights!
It has been awhile since I have done a good hard discipline session and I am craving the feeling of my fingers wrapped tightly around my implements of choice. Care to be the recipient?

Speaking of warmth, I will be heading down to Arizona on the 10th of February, and back in circulation on the 21st of February. If you want a session before I go, don't delay.

Whips and Kisses,
Princess Shahrazad

The Dominatrix Academy - Don't Be Late For Class!

Over the years, I have been asked many times if I do dominatrix training by women interested in entering the business. I have done so on a one-to-one basis for those who have asked, but have felt over the years that it has not been the most efficient method of teaching.

Now, for the first time, I have amalgamated all of my knowledge and skills into a comprehensive course called the The Dominatrix Academy. This will be a 100+ hour training program designed to help you own and embody your sexual power both in play, in life, and/or professionally.

I am now enrolling for September of 2012.

More info will be coming soon...

Spanking Fetish?

There are few naughty boys who can take an hour of severe discipline on their bare bottoms and have nothing to show for it but rosy cheeks. But a fellow came to see Me this week, affectionately named "The Incredible Unmarkable Ass" or something similar by a domme overseas. And unmarkable he was, despite My best efforts to put that recalcitrant young man in his place.

The little exhibitionist asked that photographic proof of his unmarkability be presented here. Though I suspect that many of you readers do not care to see his hairy rear, I found the request amusing, and it is posted above.

If you are a traditional discipline/spanking enthusiast looking for the real deal, contact me now for a long overdue trip across my lap!

Here Today, Gone Tommorrow

I will be out of town for a week or so, from Thursday July 28 until Sunday August 7, 2011. Not too many spaces left before I leave, so contact me asap if you'd like me to try and fit you in.

Spank you later!

NEW: Bondage Massage for Kinky Relaxation

I have decided to branch out and offer massage to discerning chimpanzees...

Just kidding. That's a little too kinky, even for me! ;-)

But, I do want to announce that I will now be offering bondage massage sessions.

Picture yourself, wrists and ankles firmly secured to my massage table, such that when you struggle there is nowhere for you to go. You are also blindfolded. Forced to relax, you surrender your body weight to the cushioned table and your mind begins to drift away on the tribal drum music wafting through the room. You feel oil dripping onto your skin, and hear my voice whispering in your ear to breathe deeply, to let go, to give yourself to me completely.

My hands firmly massage your whole body, working in the oil, preparing you for what is to come: an intoxicating journey of sensation, awakening you to an ecstacy that you never knew possible. I have at my disposal my fingers, feathers, fur, vibrating implements, floggers, paddles, canes, melting wax, rope, ice cubes, heat rub, and well as a myriad other sensory surprises that I may use in the most unexpected ways..

Your only job to be receptive and present to the pleasure that I summon...

I am now offering sessions of bondage massage to discerning clients who would like a more relaxing/sensory submission experience. Hourly rate is the same as usual. Contact me today for more info.

Please, no monkeys.

Spank Me! Saturday at Oasis AquaLounge

This coming Saturday, July 16 the Oasis Aqualounge (http://www.oasisaqualounge.com/) will be launching their new play dungeon, and to celebrate the occasion I will be facilitating a short BDSM 101 workshop and demo at 11pm!
If you have never explored BDSM with your intimate partner and want to know how to begin, this is one you won't want to miss.
The only caveat is that men are only admitted to the club with a female companion, single women are welcome.
See you there!

Personal Updates!

Well folks, I found my web expert...look forward to some interesting new educational video material from me in the fall. If you have been interested in my work but are not local to Toronto, this is a great way to gain access to more knowledge about sexuality and sexual fantasy from my unique and inimitable perspective. All of my exisiting and many new workshops will be offered in pay-per-video clip format for convenient downloading in the privacy of your own home, no matter where in the world you are viewing from.

The new play space location is proving difficult to find. I am being picky, looking for a place that will meet your need for discretion, accessibility, safety, and atmosphere while meeting my own criteria list. I am not giving up though, so keep intending along with me that the right space reveal itself!

Musings on Fetish and Travel Plans

First of all, I just wanted to announce two new sets of travel dates during which I will NOT be taking sessions: May 20-29, and June 23-July 4, 2011. Please book now to get a spot before, in between, or after those dates.

I was thinking the other day about how lucky I am that I get exposure to the juicy joys of so many unconventional forms of eroticism. The diversity of desires out there is remarkable and so unique to each person that it is a wonder that anyone can claim not to fetishize anything unusual.

What exactly is a fetish? A dictionary definition:

"Any object regarded with awe as having magickal potency, or an object or non-genital part of the body that causes an erotic response." And don't our fetishes do that for us? Take what is already a pleasurable experience and make it that much more magickal and powerful?

I made a list of 10 of some of the most interesting things that clients over the years have divulged as fetishes that enhance their sexual experience, for your reading pleasure.

1. Hunter rain boots
2. Black nail polish
3. Librarian glasses
4. Gas masks
5. Batman and Robin costumes
6. Vintage petticoats
7. Dove soap (washing mouth out with)
8. Pantyhose
9. Diapers
10.Stuffed Animals

One person's object of adoration might be bizarre to someone else, but we all have them!
What are yours?

Attention kinky technology/marketing geeks!

I have now been chastized by four separate people for neglecting my blog. What's a busy woman to do??! Since begging your forgiveness is really not my style, I will instead give you a little peek into the projects I am currently working on:

- a brand new website - a series of pay-per-view online video workshops on the psychology of BDSM that are based on my 8 years of personal experience as a pro-domme. - a new and improved location for my playspace. - a new way of offering my unique combination of skills to you, the public, so that you can benefit from them in ways you may not have previously considered.

As these come to fruition I will be posting here to tell you all about them.

I promise.

I am currently seeking open-minded and reliable AV/tech/e-marketing people who are skilled at the following things. If you are one person and are able and willing do all of them well...and I like you... then you're hired!! 1. Online video sales of website content 2. Video recording and upload to online format 3. Small business and e-business marketing strategy and manager

Off to Phoenix...

Bye folks, be good until I get back...

whips and kisses.

Japan Crisis Puts Things in Perspective

I am sure there is not a single person out there who is not horrified by the flood of pictures and stories emerging from Japan right now. Perhaps you know people who were affected, who died, or have simply been wondering what you would do if such devastation happened here. In Canada. In Toronto. To you and your loved ones.

While one could say that natural disasters are just something the earth "does" and are not reflective of the way in which we treat Her, I invite you to suspend your disbelief for a moment and view them as a communication from the Headmistress.

Perhaps Her Majesty Goddess Earth is shaking us from our complacency and our sleepwalking. Waking us up to the reality that we are all connected on this relatively tiny little planet. That what impacts a country halfway around the world from us impacts us. Let us not for one minute forget that She is the ultimate dominatrix, the one who weilds the "actual" power that controls our collective destiny as human beings on this planet. It is to Her that we must all surrender, to Her that we must become stewards and service submissives.

Perhaps she is demanding greater self-discipline in the way in which we approach Her, in the way in which we walk upon Her, in the things that we create, in the way that we use resources. If I was to put myself in Her shoes, I would imagine that Her patience is wearing. And her retribution increasingly swift. She is doing it because She cares about us, because in order for us to change for the better, we need to understand that there are consequences to our actions.

Think about it.

Kinky Joke of the Day

One day mom was cleaning Junior's room and in the closet she found a bondage and S/M magazine.
This was highly upsetting for her.
She hid the magazine until his father got home and then showed it to him.
He looked at it and then handed it back to her without a word.
She finally asked him, "What do you think we should do about this?"
Dad looked at her and said, "Well...I don't think you should spank him."

Upcoming Travel Schedule

I will be travelling to Phoenix, AZ from March 21, 2011 to March 31, 2011 inclusive.
If you were thinking about a session with me before I go, contact me asap as the time will fill up fast.

Spanks!

Controversial Video

This video was brought to my attention recently and I wanted to repost it to see what you, dear readers think. It is controversial to be sure, and brings up many questions:
Is it progressive parenting? Exploitation of a minor? A child doing something he enjoys?

What are your thoughts?

Sexual Fantasy and Maslow's Hierarchy

First of all, I thoroughly enjoyed reading your "bucket lists", those of you who sent me yours...some admirable pursuits and some uncanny similarities to my list. Get your butts in here for a session :)

Joking aside, it has led me to wondering how many people actually make the fulfillment of their sexual fantasies a priority at some point in their lives. On Maslow's hierarchy of needs, self-actualization and the realization of all inner potentials is at the top of the triangle, only to be accessed once basic survival, emotional, and psychological needs are met.

Although one could consider sex to be lower on the totem pole, with physical or emotional needs, I would put the conscious exploration of one's deepest sexual fantasies up there with self-actualization, because it involves having the introspection to be aware of, and the impetus and resources to realize deep desires that are not necessarily fully conscious.

Which has led me to the realization that to explore and seek to understand our deep sexual impulses is a privilege that I, at least, am grateful to be able to investigate. It is a rich playground and a source of much fulfillment and satisfaction.

In the context of Maslow, it is not something that everyone, due to their life's circumstances, may be able to focus on...but I pray that at some point in a lifetime, even if just once, every person gets a taste of the uniqueness of their particular sexual makeup and knows, if just for a moment, just how empowering and beautiful it is.

Princess Shahrazad's Bucket List

A client told me recently that having me help him explore his sexual fantasies was an experience that had been on his "bucket list" for years. Which got me thinking...what would be on my bucket list.....?!?!

So here are my thoughts thus far on that which I want to experience in this lifetime:

1. Travel to every country in the world at least once.
2. Master the art of Japanese rope bondage.
3. Learn a minimum of four languages fluently.
4. Write a wildly successful book. Or two.
5. Experience being a crewmember on a tall ship in the Atlantic.
6. Take voice lessons.
7. Learn how to throw a bullwhip with 100% accuracy.
8. Achieving a black belt in Shotokan karate.

What's on your bucket list?
