VIDEO CHAT: Mistress Lillian Bastet w/ Nicholas Tanek

Mistress Lillian Bastet is a Professional Dominatrix and Artist based out of San Francisco, California. It was through her performance art that she got introduced to the world of BDSM and began to dive into the practices of domination. She approaches each session as she does her art by creating an open space for expression, creativity, and catharsis to be shared and witnessed. She refers to herself as a sensual sadist and especially enjoys play that involves some type of intentional transformation. Activities such as impact play, (to experience pain for release and pleasure), sensory deprivation (to free the mind and listen to the body), feminization (to be seen in a new way without judgment), and slave training (to teach and expand one’s ability to understand and practice servitude.) are just some of her favorites. Regardless of the play, she is most inspired by the unique connection that can happen in the D/s dynamic and feels that through this vulnerability, the empowerment of each individual can be awakened.

As a makeup and performance artist, Mistress Lillian enjoys developing and evolving herself as a dominatrix and finds that this seeps into her artistry outside of the dungeon space. She can be seen performing in clubs and stages around the Bay Area or collaborating on conceptual photography for digital and print. Having recently attended her first DomCon, she is more inspired than ever to do and promote this kind of work and is looking to develop workshops that offer insight into the practiced skills and creative passion that go into being a dominatrix.

Nicholas Tanek has a video chat with her.

VIDEO CHAT: Satin Jade w/ Nicholas Tanek

Satin Jade was born and raised in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. She has always seen satin as a sensual, feminine, and classy fabric. She loves to be dressed in negligees, underwear, as well as high heels and that secretary look. So in puberty, she was a little insecure and thought it was not for her. But when she got older, satin was still on her mind and something she thought a man would think of as sexy.

Then, she met her husband to be and his love for satin was very strong. Now, it’s grown in to a fetish.

She says it feels great on her skin, so smooth, sexy, and sensual. She wears it all the time.

Nicholas Tanek sits down with her for a chat.

A Kinky Start – Our Friends Discuss Their First Real Kink Experience by Nicholas Tanek

Everything has a beginning. There are various ways to initiate a kinky/BDSM lifestyle. It may start with playfully exploring kink and the offer of a little spank here or there. Perhaps, dabbling in light bondage awakens something inside of you. Or maybe, you slip on silk panties just to try them on for fun. But then one day the line between curiosity and desire is crossed, and you discover a driving need for more. BDSM becomes part of your life. So I asked a couple of my kinky friends about their first experiences of living out fantasies.

Here are their answers…
