10 reasons why I’d be a lousy professional dominant
1. I cannot abide being called “Mistress”. Can. Not. Stand. It. It’s like fingernails on a chalk board to me.
2. If a submissive says “I’ll do whatever you wish”, then I’ll have them re-grout the tub while I sit around and read a book.
3. The sexiness of giving me a tribute from a yarn store is negligible (to the submissive, at least…for me, it’s the height of respect and affection).
4. I physically cannot wear high heels, and I hate to have my feet worshiped. I doubly hate to have my toes sucked. It feels like someone’s flossing my toes with a piece of raw liver.
5. I don’t beat people to punish them. I ignore them. And I don’t always reward behavior. I evidently got the whole “A job well done is it’s own reward” ethic a lot better than the folks that raised me anticipated.
6. It’s *work*. I’d have to leave the house, dress up nicely, pack the toys, and then do it all in reverse after an hour or two. I’d rather stay home & knit.
7. I’m a cheapskate. I’d only buy my fetish wardrobe from thrift stores or during 80% off sales, and those things are almost never going to happen.
8. I don’t have the work ethic needed to be a successful pro dominant. If you know any successful pros, you know that they work far harder than most self-employed people do, and get far less respect.
9. I want to keep my amateur status, just in case the Olympics ever adds a BDSM Triathlon.
10. I’d have to shave my legs more often – and we won’t be having any of that!

LOL, all good reasons for passing on the Pro Dom gig. I’m not quite sure how anyone can deal with number 1….or even worse “Goddess”, what ever happened to “You bastard!” as an honorific?

Sarah I love this post! The Pro-Domme biz is not for everyone, in fact, this inspired me to finally post something I wrote a few months ago on FetLife http://fetlife.com/users/56070/posts/536760
