One can have a quality life for much less money in Paris than in New York, San Francisco, or Los Angeles. I also make a lot of personal sacrifices because I take pride in the level of experience I provide. (Also, it stokes my ego to be the only one at my level in a city as famous as Paris.)

There isn't a "culture" of BDSM as I found in other places. There are some legal and historical reasons for that. I see it changing, but to be honest, I have a wait-and-see attitude to many people flaunting the law. I still remember why I left NYC in 2009.

People cannot legally train another domina (trafficking/pimping) or rent a dungeon to a pro (again trafficking/pimping), so most domina's are not well trained and don't invest in a dungeon. Few people are exposed to the dungeon experience.
