Melissa Todd has a column in Metro where she describes how she got started as a dominatrix. She followed a path I know others have taken – stripping to spanking model to pro-domme. The part of the column I particularly enjoyed was about her first client and her description of that first session. Up until ‘John’ showed up, she’d only had a cushion to practice caning on.
In his seventies, just recovering from some scary operation with the whole of his torso tattooed with a jagged purple scar, he spent most of his hour giving me a tutorial on what tools and implements I desperately needed, the positions most often requested, the idiots best avoided – and he paid me for the privilege!
John let me practise my few pathetic implements on his backside, coaching throughout. ‘Bit to the left. Avoid the whip round. Accuracy before intensity. That’s it! Now try again, but harder…’ I couldn’t have been more thankful.
There’s a notorious kind of client that looks out for young and inexperienced dommes to session with. They seek them out as they know they can push boundaries and take liberties a seasoned pro would never permit. Most pro-dommes will have stories about them. It’s therefore nice to read a positive story about a client helping out a newbie domme and steering her in the right direction. Thanks John.
This is Melissa with a much larger collection of canes then she started out with. Sourced via her Bluesky feed.
I’ve had the pleasure of being punished by Mrs Todd (under the name Clara Hewitt) and I can confirm that she is now an expert with a cane and indeed most other implements. I have also enjoyed watching the films she has made for Pandora Blake’s Dreams of Spanking. She appears to be happy to punish men and women and to be punished also in these films. That site is one of my favourites as in addition to Mrs Todd it has films featuring four other ladies I have been punished by including Blake themself.
