Playing with me, in other's words

Some words said to me (and about me) by people I’ve played with, all published by permission.

Just writing to say how much I enjoyed our session, my first with you, on Saturday. I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect but your website intrigued me and I wasn’t disappointed. You showed a delightfully sadistic touch in all forms of flogging, spanking and CBT but I always felt safe that my pain boundaries were being expertly observed. You also have amazingly hypnotic brown eyes which are really mesmerising to look into even when you are inflicting some kind of torture.
The room and the space you operate in are perfect and spotlessly clean. I’ll be booking again very soon. Thanks for an overwhelming experience

Now my brain has somewhat returned to the state of active participation I wanted to thank you for today. As far as experiences go that was one of the most intense, pleasurable of my life from kneeling naked in front of you to feeling the sensation of your whips on me. I do not usually feel trusting of someone quickly but not only did it feel natural to submit to you, I found that I really wanted to do so. I also felt that you were someone who is easy to talk to and someone worth trusting. It all felt natural and part of me wondered what I had been afraid of in the first place.

When we met I had quite some fear around making a fantasy a reality – sometimes fantasies are meant to stay that way.

I could never have imagined that the reality could be so much more!

Something has very definitely shifted for me. I don’t quite understand how, or why. I do know it has something to do with the connection we made.

It also has something to do with you unlocking the possibility of a different kind of expression – the permission and the invitation.

Just wanted to write and thank you for yesterday’s session.

It was one of the most intense, pleasurable – euphoric – sessions I’ve ever had. You moved me and touched me in ways and in places that went beyond the merely physical.

I found your quiet demeanour, your gentle but firm assertiveness, your awareness of the effect of what you were doing, your sensitive response to my state, your playful sadism and skilful application of floggers and other tools quite overwhelming: kissing your boots was the only appropriate response to what you accomplished.

I loved it that we danced, that you choreographed movement with the subtle application of pain. I melted at your caress.

You also make a good cup of tea. Which is important.

I will certainly want to see you again when I’ve scraped together the pennies.

The priestess takes me into the back room of the temple. I grab a young witch who has not yet learnt her own power to bear witness. There are several shrines in this room but none of them jump out to me. Instead, I lie face down on the purple quilt. I take deep breaths until I’m clear and ready.

I give the signal.

The priestess draws out the ritual dagger (in this case, a hygienically sealed scalpel). I cannot see behind me but I imagine her holding it aloft then bringing it across in an arc and down onto my flesh, pausing a moment: cold. Then pushing in to break skin (my skin!) oh so hot! And then cutting into me as she traces a diagonal line across my back.

I am convulsing now. Something deep and unlocked now released from me. The hooks had not been enough this time. The ordeal spiral and the attainment of wisdom needs a new sacrifice (from “sacrum”, Latin, to make sacred) from me and this it gets. And such power is released. Such emotional intensity fills my being. The priestess is feeding off this. She is crow or raven. I am shaking as this long ago stored energy is released, setting itself free, setting me free and allowing me to step deeper into power, wisdom, love. A little bit more of the “Who Am I?” question answered…. Thank you for my stripe priestess ♥ Thank you Sir Claire Black x x

An amazing, imaginative lady

Venue
Claire works from Sacred Pleasures – see their website to get an idea of just what a good venue it is. I particularly like the fact that it is a very sensual space and not a corny dungeon type of venue. Everything is always reassuringly immaculate and spotlessly clean. Easy parking, very safe and straightforward to find.

Personality
Claire has always been very friendly and approachable. She makes it clear that she has few taboos and that you can discuss anything with her in an honest and open manner. I believe that she can be as soft or as extreme as anyone could desire. This is particularly reassuring when you are a bit of a novice in the whole BDSM world.

About Meeting
I have met Claire a few times now and what is so refreshing is the time she takes to find out exactly what you are looking for in a session, listens to you and then adds her own bits of kink to it.

I am very new to the whole BDSM world and was looking to expand my horizons having become bored of the very formulaic escort type encounter. I definitely didn’t want a classic shouty, humiliating Mistress type encounter but something altogether more intelligent and sensual. I explained what I thought I was looking for to Claire and she interpreted it in a very intuitive way. This has led to some incredibly intense sessions where every one of my senses has been played with in a very exciting and sometimes challenging way. She is utterly respectful of your limits but at the same time keeps gently pushing at them and you end up going far further than you would ever imagined you were capable of. Every session has been different from the ones that have gone before and has its own surprises. There is nothing more exciting than when Claire tells you that she has come up with a ‘plan for our next meeting!’

Claire has all the equipment that could ever be required and all the furniture at Sacred Pleasures, where she works from, is of the very highest standard.

Whilst Claire is completely professional in everything that she does you do feel that she cares very much about what she does and wants to teach you about BDSM and wants you to experience just how great it can be.

It is a bit of a cliche but I really do feel that Claire is leading me on a journey of discovery and she is a great guide.

Claire is a marvellous Domme, one of the few people I’ll trust to take me into scary places, administer pain and play with my arse. Her quiet demeanour belies a sadistic streak as wide as the Channel, which plays in glimmers at the corner of her mouth and in her eyes. She is one in a million!

I had come and gone to a place so magical and beautiful words do it no justice. I have never felt so connected to another person. Thank you Claire that was beautiful and something I will never forget.
