I'm not going to comment on the rest of this post because clearly there is no point. But I have to wonder who you are seeing/ where you are sessioning that the play space would be contaminated after " filthy slaves" had been there.

Please cart your paranoia and politicizing of this refuge back to Off Topic where it belongs.

Agreed.

Please don't keep making this into a political conversation. Board rules state that political topics should be contained to off topic. If you continue down this path it will either cause the entire topic to be moved to politics or get your replies removed. Play by the rules, please. You have been warned.

Mistress Ayn, Thank you.

Mistress Ayn, Looks like one warning was all it took.

I agree. A Mistress's geographical location certainly factors into a responsible time to resume live sessions.

In one of my session breaks I didn’t have one from 1978 or ‘79 until around 1984. I began again that year because I felt the need and continued until ‘87 or ‘88. When I returned the world - especially NYC - was involved in the AIDS epidemic.

Suffice it to say that the wide open BDSM, fetish, role play sessions of the ‘70s were over and their was far more caution in terms of sensuality. Possible arrests? Of course. But the big thing was the disease. Unless the Mistress knew you very well the best you could hope for might be breast or foot/leg worship, if that. And, at least for me, when I returned I went back to someone I knew, Mistress Belle de Jour, who by that point had a major dungeon and recommended a Mistress or two to see based on knowing my likes/dislikes, and the ladies who she trusted, one being a niece, Mistress Gloria, and the other the legendary Mistress Ava Taurel, who just began practicing as a domina before going on her own.

Of course I’m a lot older now. The last few days, with some inspiration from this site, I’m ready to session again. But... thinking with my other head, the one on my shoulders, when I do session live & in person, I’m doing with someone who I know and respect who I’m sure will be taking every precaution imaginable. But I’m going to wait until late summer at the earliest. Again, as I always say, just my 2 cents.

I would not go to any of those. But a session is less dangerous. You meet only one person. But I would prefer a hotel to a dungeon.

Great topic. I have Mistress friends in the Midwest and West, who's Dungeon doors are wide open. It only goes to show; "You can't keep a good Domme down."
