What does a dominatrix look like to you?
A woman who practices BDSM in everyday life; a woman who controls mentally and physically, usually in a sexual way. Vanilla people categorise this type of lifestyle as kinky.
The Dominatrix is stereotypically pictured as wearing stilleto boots, black Leather-clad, whip-wielding and not prepared to take any of your crap, the dominatrix has become a cultural icon.
But how long have these formidable women been punishing their inferiors? It isn't always easy to tell. Historical records are often very quiet on sexual subjects. But the role seems to be as old as modern society – and perhaps much older than that

Of course, there's a lot we don't know about sex in the ancient world. Indeed, for much of history, we're forced to make educated guesses about people's sexual beliefs and practices. Indeed, the whole of 18th and 19th century England seems to be awash in people who wanted to be dominated and flogged by women.
Flogging
Mainly S&M terminology, flogging is to use a whip for sexual enjoyment. A 'flogger' shall remain for the moment 'any flexible many-tailed striking tool where the tails are simple strips of leather or similar substances, designed for use on the human body'. He stood spread eagle against the wall, waiting with anticipation as the Dominatrix held her whip ready for flogging.
There were flogging specialists, though, and some of them were very well-known figures in the 19th century. One of the most famous was Theresa Berkley (or Berkeley), A businesswoman ran one of London's most famous brothels and was said to own a huge range of flogging implements.
The sexy flogging brothel may reflect fantasy more than reality. And after all, who doesn't like to think that what gets them off is based in some of mankind's oldest spiritual beliefs?
I serve, please, obey and worship my Dominatrix because it is the right, moral and ethical thing to do. My Dominatrix is my Goddess and I love Her!
