Delphine (of the Bay Area) has shared an interesting overview of her career in kink and sex work via this blog post. She started as a bondage model with Insex, which I’d imagine was a real trial by fire. From there she transitioned to the domme role and ultimately added full service work into the mix. Her latest evolution, and what seems to be the trigger for the post, is exploring bondage as a submissive again. Not as a replacement for her domme work, but as an adjunct to it.
It’s pretty rare to see people who domme professionally also talk about switching. I suspect there’s a fear it might impact their primary line of work. Or that they’ll have to deal with clients wanting to top them. One exception to this who comes to mind is another Bay Area domme – Elise Graves. She creates a lot of material as both top and bottom for her Bondage Liberation site. Bondage does seem to have a special appeal that brings out the switch in people. I’ve zero desire to ever be a top, but I could imagine getting into rigging and rope if I had a partner who desired it.
This is a shot of Delphine from her website. If you’re in the Bay Area and would like her to tie you up, check out her site here.
It’s funny how desires can evolve over time. 47 years ago when I started my kink journey I was purely a top. Then following an experimental go at bottoming and meeting my lovely Mistress I spent 35 odd years purely on the receiving end. Then for whatever reason about 12 years ago I stated switching and basically alternate the sessions I attend. I still see my Mistress regularly but I attend spanking parties and meet ladies who both give and receive punishment and seem to be very happy to do so. I realise that the scene is different in the U.K. from the U.S. and it does appear that there is more switching here for whatever reason.
