I too, used to wonder if I would have an expiration date in my industry, but I no longer worry about that being the case. I think there will always be a place for young dommes in the world that puts youthfulness on a pedestal. You don't really have to do much, just, you know, be 25. (I sometimes wonder if the whole bratty thing is a fetish or something guys put up with to be around young women.) Most the time these types of dommes do not age well.

Intelligence, compassion, and confidence really make a domme and I find in my 40's I am better at cultivating these traits. I see dommes in their 60's and it is apparent I still have some learning to do.

I answer the same as I did with the sub retirement thread -- "Retire when it is no longer fun."
