This is a very personal business and, the ladies are the ones taking most of the risk. So, I very much respect a lady conducting business in a manner in which she feels comfortable. I've been retired for years. Perhaps, thing have changed. Perhaps, I was just lucky. But, in 20 years of full time sessions and, being quite busy, I never had an issue that an id would have made a difference, not for sessions. (Videos, it is a requirement of the law.) I managed to screen through email and, phone interviews with no problems. Only one loony that I can think of got through the cracks, in all of that time. An id would not have mattered in that case. He was quickly cut loose and, banned from my studio. Fortunately, he lived in another state so stalking would have been difficult. Stalking happens to attorneys, even doctors, ex girlfriends, ect. An id doesn't stop a mentally unstable person. I had the fortunate experience as an active Dom to have amazing clients. I tend to think that ProDom attracts good people.

This being said, in no way am I disputing how a Dominatrix chooses to run her business. It is a very personal business and, no one can tell anyone else what should make them comfortable. It has just been my experience that knowing someone's legal name doesn't seem to matter with sessions...nor, were there a bunch of crazies trying to make appointments. I miss the session days some times...but, when it comes to the associated risks, that are numerous, I am glad to have had a ton of fun and, retire early.
