I took the surname Black as it seemed a simple way of obscuring my identity from people who I would rather not share my perverted dominatrix side with (my dad). It was only recently I stopped to think about what the full name actually meant. A paradox, brightness and the absence of light. Also a very concise description of what I do, bringing clarity and light to dark places.

I’ve been practicing BDSM for 9 years now, as both a top and a bottom. The drive for pain came as naturally as the drive for sex. It didn’t really matter whose pain, mine or theirs, I just knew whenever something felt intense for someone I felt alive. The more intense the more alive (intensity being the frame of mind rather than how fast the whip flew).

A very wise person recently told me that I eat pain the same way some people eat hamburgers. This felt amazing to hear, it explained so much of my life to me.

Now I live my life as intensely as I can. I’ve been through depression, wasted years of my life that I will never get back, and I can’t bear to waste any more. If something scares me I make sure I do it, if something feels disgusting to me I find out why, and if something hurts me I make sure I get stronger from it.

I have practiced Tantra, gone into light places and heavenly places, but that’s not where I thrive. I thrive in the dark, in the dirt and the blood and the earth. Wild, raw and filthy, this is where I bring life.

I have a blog where I keep updates of what what i’m up to and occasional musings. Go to the blog >>

I have a more personal blog, this might ruin your illusions of a sleek and shiny London Domme, reality is always a bit more gritty and messy, you have been warned. Personal blog >>
