I won’t speak to Mistress Rue specifically but I will strongly recommend against sessioning at Chicago Illusions.

I was in Chicago for work in August. My schedule was unpredictable so a commercial duengon with a lot of availability was appealing to me. I read some negative reviews of Chicago Illusions online but many of them were old and I thought some may have been overstated.

They weren’t. I have had many professional sessions — some boring, some where I lacked chemistry with the domme. This was the first session that I walked out of early because of how bad the experience was.

If you call on the phone and ask what services are upcharged, they decline to answer. Upon arrival, I paid $300 and was escorted to a play room. The domme who checked me then went through an interest survey with me. Upon completion of the survey, she said she thought that I might like my session to include tease/denial and clothed facesitting. I said, that sounds great. She said “that’ll be just an additional $900.” I declined, she argued with me, and then she departed.

The domme I booked arrived about 10 minutes later. I enjoy humiliation and the focus of my humiliation for the next 30 minutes was how cheap I was. Almost the entirety of the session was about how I was cheating myself out of a good experience by being cheap, that I was letting her down, that I was making her look bad to her boss, and that if I wanted to do any of the things outlined on my survey, I would need to pay much more money. “You didn’t actually think you could have a real session for $300 did you? This isn’t a charity.”

When she moved to begin implementing a punishment that was on my list of hard limits, I said I wanted to end the session.

This is not an establishment that practices traditional BDSM. This is a strip club-like hustle. I’m not naming the dommes I sessioned with because I got the impression they were just going along with the house rules. A review on another site suggested that sessions were listened in on by management — I can’t confirm that but several moments of the session made me think it might be the case.

Save your money. Go somewhere else.
