Interview with a Financial Domme: Goddess Penelope!

Fanny: What exactly is a Financial Domme? And how on earth did you find out about and become one?

Goddess Penelope: A Financial Domme is generally a Woman who feels that she should be treated as a Goddess, completely adored and spoilt beyond belief and in doing so gains herself a stable of slaves who should treat her accordingly. A friend of Mine who knew that I was into the BDSM scene introduced Me to it (funnily enough it was a male friend too...but not a sub!) and when the gifts/cash started rolling in I was totally hooked!

Robin: Were you seeing your current boyfriend at the time you entered into a career as a full time goddess? If not, how do you break the ice with potential partners about your constant supply of presents from horny desperate men?

Goddess Penelope: My BF is really open minded and we were friends before we were lovers so he knew all about Me being a FinDomme...he thought (and still thinks) its amazing...and its funny as he reaps the benefits too as cucky slaves LOVE buying him gifts too!

Fanny: Apart from your boyfriend, who is favourite hottie?

Goddess Penelope: Ooooh (do I only have to choose one?...I’m having 2) James Franco and Jonathan Rhys Myers (wet!)

Fanny: *drools* Is this something you could you do forever?

Goddess Penelope: I totally think so...until I get bored or all the money and shoes in the world disappear! (eeeek!)

Robin: Have you met many other financial dommes? If so is there ever a little competition over who gets the most free stuff from their slaves? Is there a hierarchy of Financial Dommes?

Goddess Penelope: TBH no I haven’t met any...I’ve only ever met Pro Dommes.

Fanny: Are there any particular goddesses that you model yourself upon? The

Hindu Lakshmi? Carrie Bradshaw? Tanya Cheex? Imelda Marcos?

Goddess Penelope:I don’t really model myself on anyone inparticular as I believe in leading not following and just being myself.

Fanny: Spoken like a true goddess. So tell me, what is your earliest memory?

Goddess Penelope: Singing at My cousins birthday party when I was about 3 wearing a pink Michael Jackson t-shirt

Robin: Being a total shoe fetishist for both myself, and of course Fanny's beautiful feet, I'd like to know what your ultimate pair would be, which pair of heels would get one of your slaves in your very best books? Also what was the favourite pair you were bought recently?

Goddess Penelope: I love Natacha Marro shoes and would LOVE more...My faves shoes that I have been bought recently have to be My Feud shoes...I have about 4 pairs now.

Fanny: how much do you know about your slaves? Are they useless City Boys who have nothing better to do than blow their copious amounts of cash on you? Or are they all creeps who live at home with their mum?

Goddess Penelope: My slaves vary...there’s not a single type...they’re all generally sad and pathetic though...unfortunately! (or fortunately!)

Robin: Have you ever found out about any of your slaves having partners, and their reactions to their other halves spoiling you?

Goddess Penelope: No they’re usually snide vindictive little things that can keep secrets!

Fanny: how seriously pathetic are your slaves? Are they always vying for your attention and time and generally annoying the fuck out of you?

Goddess Penelope: Generally YES! But I make it VERY clear that £££££$$$$$ = ATTENTION

Robin: Do you take into account a potential slaves income when they buy you presents? For example is a pair of Louboutin heels from a student slave worth more to you than a pair from a bank manager slave?

Goddess Penelope: I have to be honest...no...I just take, take, take...students don’t really appeal to Me and I don’t appeal to them...they generally say I’m ‘too expensive’ lol

Fanny: What is your guiltiest pleasure?

Goddess Penelope: many to mention! I don’t know where to start!

Fanny: Tell me what Robin would expect if I made him called your Ignore Line?

Goddess Penelope: would answer the call and NOT say a word...most of the time I leave the phone on the side and carry on with whatever I’m doing...the TIE (total ignore experience)

Robin: What's the meanest hoop you've ever made one of your slaves jump through in order to gain you attention? and how, if at all, were they rewarded for doing so?

Goddess Penelope: I’ve done SO many mean humiliating things to slaves...but I generally reward them by allowing them to buy Me more gifts!

Fanny: does being a Financial Domme make it easier for you to be a good girlfriend, as you don't have to pester your boyfriend for present all the time?

Goddess Penelope: think so as I never ask or want anything from Bf...although Birthdays and Christmas is really hard for him as he says ‘what do I buy the woman that has everything?’...he tries really hard to buy unique special gifts...which I adore!

Robin: How much time does it take to be a Financial Domme? Is it a full time job ignoring all those boys and getting all those pedicures?

Goddess Penelope:Yeah it’s quite hard work being spoilt and pampered all the time! It doesn’t take a set amount of time...I have IM on My phone so that I can contact slaves whenever I want to...I’ve found it a lot easier as time has gone by to ‘vet’ good slaves from the bad so that procedure has eliminated ALOT of time wasting.

Fanny: what's the best way you know of to exploit money/presents out of a man?

Goddess Penelope: To work his fetishes against him of course...oh and chastity is ALWAYS a winner!

Robin: Have you ever heard of any male financial dommes?

Goddess Penelope: I’ve seen a few...but they just get laughed off by us females!

Fanny: Have you ever been recognised in public?

Goddess Penelope: Yes...mainly at fetish clubs by people on community sites.

Robin: One of your slaves has just put £1000 in your bank account to impress you, what would you go and get on your shopping spree?

Goddess Penelope: Shoes,clothes make up (how shallow?)

Fanny: How do you relax?

Goddess Penelope: I like to chill with Bf and watch movies!

Robin: I noticed that your wish list that you have both "Venus In Furs", "The Story Of O" and "The Torture Garden" on there. We've read all of these as part of our Erotic Book Club. You should come along!

Goddess Penelope: I would love too!

CB6000Male Chastity Device

"Be careful what you wish for".... Never have these words had more truth for poor Robin. When we started this blog, we figured it would be a great way, not only to tell the world about the wonderful places we've found, and things we've seen, but also a nice way of scoring some freebies to review from various naughty businesses. Within days of sending our our press release we had received tickets to fetish clubs and even a pile of naughty books, however the arrival of a curious box made the whole experiment a lot more real for us both. The words Chastity Device brings up images of fair maidens locked away in castles whilst their knights in shining armour do battle against dragons. This it seems however is no longer the case. Launched with the CB2000 and following through to the newest CB6000 male chastity has been undergoing somewhat of a renaissance in modern fetish circles. In fact, various fantasy chastity story sites and even tease and denial captioned picture sites have built up into seemingly quite a scene, we even bumped into a poor "cock locked" (as Fanny so charmingly calls it) man at the last Torture Garden that we went to. Robin has a rather submissive streak, and so all it took was a few words from a rather stern looking Fanny, before we were trying out this latest toy. All in the name of research for you our discerning readers...
Oh my, when Fanny uttered the words "I think we should try out that new toy this week" I thought my heart would stop beating. Asking me to ceremonially strip in front of her and then place the device on before she locked it, she looked me deep in the eyes and asked if I was sure I was up to it. I nodded and then 'click' she shut the lock on my cock for a week, eek! What followed was a week of restless nights (who'd have thought I have SO many nocturnal erections), awkward toilet experiences (keeping the device clean was quite a chore) but mostly a week of utter submissive heaven. Fanny quickly slipped into the role of Mistress Fanny and before long I was making her bed, rubbing her back, licking her boots clean, and even pleasuring her to penis crushing, mind warping, insane frustration causing orgasm. We did learn that playing games like this is much more intense than a regular evening play session. That when real life gets in the way of kink, stress levels can rise, and that communication is key. The effects of the device wasn't so much about the physical grip on my cock (although I was always well aware of its presence), but much more about the relationship between us. All it took was a look, a flick of her hair, or a stern word and Fanny could send my hormones rushing. By day 5 I hit my limit, sitting at work, I suddenly felt like I was coming up on drugs. My cock swelled up to the cruel walls of the device and my head started spinning with the horniest thoughts. My hands were shaking and I honestly couldn't think straight. Fanny however was stern (and loving) as ever "there is no way that device is coming off before the weekend". God I love her. When she finally did let me out, I had an orgasm like I used to when I was 15. Truly shocking and quite earth moving. It was a great experiment, amazing to see how easily I can be controlled by withholding my release, and I certainly realised by day 5 that it was as much a punishment as a game. I very much enjoyed it, but at the same time, I'm very happy to have my cock back in my control. 5 quivering aching desperately needed releases out of 5.		"Why would any man want to do such a thing to himself???" I thought when we received this 'chastity device' which I promptly renamed as a 'cock lock". I'm a rather open minded little bunny but THIS had never really occurred to me. To be honest, I was pretty concerned at first that placing such restrictions on ones member could cause long term damage (and it is obviously in my best interest for this not to happen), but after a little online research, we were assured that it was all perfectly harmless. Perusing the internet also led me discover the community of people who regularly use such toys in their relationships. So after some deliberations, I suggested or probably more fittingly, requested that we try it out. It is a pretty interesting experiment to see a man, particularly your own highly virile specimen, practically sans-phallus. I was quite surprised, though, how rather than erasing the sexual pulse of the relationship, it actually magnified it, adding an erotic edge to every part. I quickly accelerated from a reluctant dom into full princess-mode with Robin encased in this device. My every whim and fancy had to be fulfilled and even the simplest kiss would leave him in a pleading puddle on the floor. After a tentative first day or two, I was relishing the experience of seeing my partner from a different perspective. This is definitely a toy that both parties have to be in the right head-space for, with clear time frames and boundaries set prior to lock down. Of course, it wasn't long before I too was looking forward to using the key that I carried with me all week. Apart from the obvious ways in which I felt deprived of the repressed appendage, I also missed the person I was in love with in every sense but, oh my, what a delight when they were returned to me! This was definitely a new experience for me, and one which I now welcome. And, just having it in our toy box, is always such a great threat for a lady of my calibre to have in her leverage. I give the CB6000 5 jingling keys out of 5.

Pleasure Bound: True Bondage Stories

Edited by Alison Tyler and published by Cleis Press, 'Pleasure Bound' is 23 true tales of BDSM erotica and is available through The Book Depository and other leading literature websites.

Who say's a leopard can't change it's spots? Ok, so the majority of my fantasies revolve around powerful women in killer heels with smoldering scowling eyes. However the stories of submissive ladies getting off by being tied up, spanked and taken just past their limits in this collection certainly did it for me. This was a wonderful collection of short BDSM stories, which perfectly hit the mark. True it could have been a bit more balanced in terms of which gender was topping which (it felt a bit like the male submissive stories were stuck in at the end to make up numbers) and some stories were much better written than others. But never the less, this was a HOT collection, and I found myself jumping straight into the next story as soon as I'd finished one. Being based on true stories, and written from people who obviously get turned on by these things, it felt like a really warm and loving description of something which can to the outside seem quite scary. I'd probably tie it to the rafters in my ceiling and make it beg for 4 firm slaps out of 5.		Robin's bookshelf is stuffed with collections like these, so it is safe to say I've perused a few and have to admit I'm not usually compelled to read beyond a story or two. However, I found 'Pleasure Bound' quite enjoyable, and was happy to find more than a handfull of stories rather fun, including King of the Road, Yes Master, On The Mend, and Do I Look Like I'm Joking? The appeal for me was definitely in the fact that these were supposedly based on something each writer had experienced. I liked the confessional element it bought to each story - but then maybe that is the good Catholic school girl coming out in me. I also enjoyed how each story betrayed a more intimate look at BDSM relationships than such stories normally do, showing that these were experiences that often occurred in loving, supportive, safe environments. Some may find the variety in the stories pretty limited, as they were mainly about female submissives, but I definitely wasn't complaining. 'Pleasure Bound' gets 3 firm spanks out of 5 from me.
