INTRODUCTION:

Okay, fine, I'll admit it. My partner and I are one of those '50 Shades of Grey' people, who really didn't get interested in or even start considering BDSM until we rented the movie on one of our stay-in date nights. And sure, we comically tried to incorporate a bit of what we saw into our bedroom the next few nights, but we were giggling or rolling our eyes half the time. But over the next few weeks we looked into it a bit more seriously, and one of the best things about living in a city like LA is that you have more than BDSM studio to choose from.

One of my friends mentioned Dominion, a place over in Culver City that had been there since the early eighties, and was a great spot where you can learn just as much as you can have fun. If it's right for you, of course, but that's why you go the introductory classes first, to find out if order your partner around on all fours to kiss your feet is something both of you want to explore.

So keep reading below to find out all about Dominion, here on EasySex.com!

ABOUT:

Dominion looks just a little bit out of place in a mostly industrial area in Culver City, being an older victorian house across the street from a massive warehouse. But that's nothing compared to how different it looks once you step inside. Once past the main foyer, you'll find nine separately themed rooms, including one specially designed for the longtime owner and headmistress of Dominion, Lady Hillary. You aren't wandering through these freely, of course, because you have to be here for either an introductory class - like my partner and I were - or an actual session with one of the dominatrixes (or doms, for sort), which can last anywhere from thirty minutes to two hours.

Fortunately we weren't subjected to that (yet!), and were instead treated to a very lighthearted and open talk about the roots of BDSM, and how it can be used an occasional form of play in a relationship, as well as a huge part of someone's lifestyle. Many people come here more than once a week to have a session where they either play the role of the submissive or the role of the dominant (the Dominion has a wide staff that can cater to either). And with each room here having a slightly different theme and filled with crazy pieces of erotic furniture (some of them are dungeons with 'torture' equipment and cages, and others are like 1950s-style living rooms), it's that much easier for the setting to play a big role in your fantasy.

CONCLUSION:

I never expected that learning more about yourself - and that's definitely what a big step into the world of BDSM is - could be so freeing and fun, and I don't think my partner and I could have chosen a better place than Dominion to do this. Not only was it a great place to take the first few baby steps of learning about BDSM, but since the entire staff gets to know you better the more often you come for sessions, you build up a very specific rapport with them, and it shows in the play.

It's no surprise to me that Los Angeles has become something like a ground zero to the fetish community, because it really is just an extension of the ideal world Hollywood has shown us for decades now. But at Dominion, you can go beyond watching your fantasies and live them, if only for a couple of hours per week. My partner and I have attended some fetish parties in the last few months, and they're fun, too, but when we want to get serious about BDSM role-play, we always come back to the Dominion.
