Why BDSM
40 years ago, outsiders saw BDSM as this dark, mysterious thing in the bedroom that only satanic followers and heathens did. We imagined a poorly lit room with chains, leather, and blood. Fast forward 40 years and 50 shades of grey later, and outsiders are as intrigued and as curious as ever, but professional sources are scarce and limited.
Most options available today are YouTube videos, sex workers, and amateurs winging it.
The problem is, BDSM can be dangerous, and, too often, people turn to BDSM to self-harm, self-treat past traumas via unguided exposure therapy, manipulate others, or escape their problems. Mistress Anna experienced first hand (and second hand), these tactics, which led to prolonged mental and physical damage.
Enter The Devil’s Dungeon.
After 27 years of study and lifestyle practices, Mistress Anna provides safe and professional guidance to the public.
Founded on a principal that knowledge-based honesty and openness is the best prevention for abuse, crime, and harm, The Devil’s Dungeon offers beginners a gentle non-threatening introduction to BDSM. Every client is carefully taught how to recognize criminals posing as Dom/mes. Mistress anna believes in this so strongly that she offers this class (Faux-Dom/me Awareness) to everyone for free.
Too many “Faux Dom/mes” are out there, preying on the ignorant. Mistress Anna has seen too many confessions of sub-hopefuls who paid out hundreds of dollars to scammers posing as a Dom/me. One woman, ignorant of BDSM practices, was raped by a man claiming that his abusive tactics were all part of his “Domination style.”
The more BDSM stays a taboo and remains “underground” as an undiscussed lifestyle, the more criminals can use BDSM as a means to manipulate, harm, and abuse others. It’s time to make BDSM mainstream and to shed the light on what BDSM really is, how it is practiced, and where it comes from.
Our Classes
Each class is tailored to the needs of the client. We offer group settings where people can (masked or unmasked), find the playful enjoyment in BDSM. We offer private one-on-one sessions for the individual to safely explore their vulnerability. We offer couples a guided tour of the BDSM world that allows them to safely expand on the spice in their bedroom.
A Safe Place for Beginners
New to BDSM? Are you a curious outsider wanting to dip your toes into the lifestyle? Do you secretly fantasize about entering into this realm, but have no idea where to begin?
Mistress Anna provides gentle introductions tailored to ease the nerves of each client.
Beginners are given the option to explore both sides of the Dynamic while they are guided through (almost) the full spectrum of fetishes and kinks. SSC (Safe-Sane Consent) and RACK (Risk-Aware-Consensual Kink) are implemented at all times.
Where does BDSM come from?
Easy answer? Our ID! The ID is the part of our subconscious responsible for all our wants, desires, and emotions. The ID is where our dreams come from. It’s where our impulse to have sex with random people or strangers comes from. It’s where our desires that society has deemed “shameful” comes from… like fantasizing about orgies, group sex, or multiple partners. BDSM is often the unrealized and suppressed part of our ID.
Historically, BDSM has been around since the beginnings of early man. Right after our ID developed, BDSM soon followed.
The community itself that we associate with collars and leashes actually emerged from a book series called The Gorean Saga, book #1 being the “Tarnsman of Gor” by John Norman. Mr. Norman has no affiliation with BDSM, he denies any affiliation with the BDSM community, and turns away all interviews asked of him. In 1966, a small cult following his books emerged, and this cult became the first of what would become the modern BDSM community.
“Gor Slave Girls” is actually a fetish in the BDSM Dynamic today where all Gor slave girls must be cis-females and dress in “I Dream of Jeannie” attire.
What does “BDSM” stand for?
BD/SM and B(DS)M
Bondage-Discipline/Sadism-Masochism. But, those deep in the community also refer to the “DS” in BDSM as Domination-Submission
The Categories for BDSM are:
- Dynamics or “The D’s” (Dom/me and sub)
- Impact Play (for the SM of BDSM)
- Bondage and Discipline
Kinks and Fetishes are sometimes considered part of BDSM, and many are taught at the Devil’s Dungeon, but one can engage in a kink or a fetish and still not be involved in BDSM.
Furries, “Littles,” and boot fetishes are examples of kinks and fetishes that are often affiliated with BDSM. We’ve all heard of the foot fetish, which has a place inside and outside of BDSM… and which, Mistress Anna has 😉
Why do you say Dom/me?
Dom (masculine) and Domme (feminine) Dom/me recognize both genders of the Dynamic.
What is the difference between a Mistress and a Domme?
A Mistress (Master) is born.
A Domme (Dom) is taught.
Mistress Anna was conducting Mistress-like behavior as early as 8 without any exposure to the lifestyle. In fact, these behaviors emerged in a White Supremacist, Christian Orthodox and extreme Right wing environment. No one had to teach or train Mistress Anna to use a flogger or collar and leash a sub. Her instinct kicked in, and she just did it. We are what we are.
BDSM is not all about Impact or Sex
Impact and sex is what comes to mind for most when BDSM is mentioned. In fact, as a Mummy Domme, Mistress Anna leaves all Impact Play at home.
The belief that whips and sex are required for BDSM cannot be further from the truth. Impact play is optional. Sexuality is completely eliminated from the dynamic for many “Littles.”
One of my clients is a mother and son (age 27) Mummy/Little Dynamic who use BDSM to satisfy their emotional needs. He craves her maternal comfort. She needs to nurture her son. It’s one of the most beautiful and healthy exchanges I have ever seen. And no whips or bondage or sex is used in their Dynamic.
What is “A Dungeon”?
So many people believe that a “Dungeon” is a literal place. A dark, stone room fitted with chains, cages, and torture devices where whips hang from the walls. In truth, a “Dungeon” these days is actually a temporarily converted living room, hotel room, bedroom, or venue where a Dom/me sets up to “play.” For most Dom/mes, the “dungeon” is a portable discreet suitcase that accompanies the Dom/me on the road from venue to venue or what Mistress Anna fondly refers to a “Dungeon-in-a-bag.”
Only a rare lucky few have a permanent “Dungeon” location.
Will Mistress Anna be my Mistress/Domme?
No. Mistress Anna receives so much attention and inquiries that she has closed the doors and put up boundaries to all personal inquiries. She only has time in her life for her close friends, her children, her partner, and her paying clients.
