Mistress Cheyenne provides a classy response to Ms. Rose Woods' pointed, and very legitimate, question. As someone who has always been drawn to mature Mistresses (over 35) for most of my years playing, I have a few comments or stories about this.

The first is about Mistress Belle de Jour, my first, who I saw when I was in college and she was in her late 40s. In the mid-1990s she still owned/managed a place in Chelsea. I called and recognized her voice, she recognized mine, and she immediately said, "You're still doing this shit?" We both laughed. In the '80s during my trips in and out of the scene I always went to her and she would recommend Mistresses that would match my taste, most notably her niece Gloria and Ava Taurel. On that phone call I immediately said, "I want to session with you." Belle said she didn't anymore but had someone for me. I ran over there.

At that point she had to be 70 but still looked great that day, really hot. It wasn't an age thing, I just really wanted to serve Belle one more time and pushed the point. Finally Belle smiled and said, "Get the hell inside." She remembered what I liked, what I didn't, and we had a great time.

There are some subs that like older women or really older women. To each his own. But I have seen some ads for Dominas (and escorts) who are older than me... and I'm now in my mid-60s. Not my thing.

I still remember in the '90s there was a "Mistress" who advertised in New York Magazine personals section as a "spankologist." Those were three or four line print ads, no pics, but a phone number. I called one Saturday and she said she had plenty of experience here, and in Hollywood, and was a former starlet years ago who knew plenty of 'stars,' etc., etc. She sounded mature... very mature... 70+ mature... and somewhat delusional. I didn't make an appointment. A year or two later I saw an ad in one of the S&M magazines the same "spankologist" description as the New York Magazine ad with a black & white from the '50s I guess of a starlet in a bikini. Pretty sad. But she was discussed several times over the years at Max Fisch. Some guys went to her. Who knows?

Finally, in 2005 I met a dominant fitness/bodybuilder from Vegas. Tall, ash blonde, perfect figure, fit but not overly muscular and legs to die for. (She was a former showgirl.) She was my age, back then in her early 50s. Very dominant and intimidating. We hit it off. By 2010 she decided to open a fitness business. We kept in touch for a couple of years afterwards, had a dinner or two in Vegas, she was in great shape but for her, it was time. I still miss her.

What's been going through my mind lately, at my advanced age is, when is the time for a sub to retire? I'll start topic shortly.
