There was a dungeon in NYC a long time ago which had a special procedure for initiates (fresh meat). I do not remember the name of the dungeon, but it had a distinctive location, on a high floor in a new luxury rental building in the east side (50s) near to the then brand new tram to Roosevelt Island.

Anyway, the procedure was that the client (before paying any fee) had to get completely nude and appear in an interview room with a group of Mistresses sitting (fully clothed, of course) behind a long desk. They would ask the sub questions, and then based on his answers, determine which one of them would see him, if they believed him qualified.

It was an amazing way of reversing the usual procedure in some dungeons where the prospective sub interviews the Dommes and he decides who he wants to see. It put the Women in charge, and if the sub did not like their determination, he had no choice, he would get no session.

The place closed after only a short while, but not because there was anything faulty with their procedure. The building was filling up with regular residential tenants.
