Do You Have What it Takes to Be a Professional Dominatrix?

Maybe you have a hard time getting along with people at work. You're a bitch, or you act like one. You don't have a filter between your brain and your mouth. You'd like to beat the crap out of your boss with a whip. So you think you could quit that job and become a dominatrix. After all, you like being mean to people, and you'd like to take a few of them down a peg. Or you'd just like a servant to wash and detail your car. Wait a minute, Mistress Impulsive; there are other things to consider.

First of all, do you live in an area that would support your business? If you live in a large city you may be able to find clients lining up to be humiliated by you. But if you live in Mayberry, people might be too afraid of getting caught using your services, and the ensuing embarassment at the hands of the church and the garden club. Not only that, some of the services you'd be providing might be illegal. You need to make sure there are enough wealthy, male, white collar executives to support your business and pay the prices you'll be charging per hour. Yes, most clients are men, and most of them are powerful men in positions of authority. At the end of a long day, in order to relax all these guys sometimes want is to symbolically give up all that power and put themselves in the hands of someone else who is responsible for their fate. You would be serving lawyers, doctors and CEOs and you will be getting paid like one.
