To answer your questions. Considering my personal contacts within the community I live in and how I chose to live my life I am very certain I have no reason to be concerned. Sexual orientation, lesbian, no concerns at all. Also, I am far from being a pro-anything, let alone a dominatrix. In addition, considering the type of women I tend to get involved with, they usually have more to lose than I do as far as public attention. I am no fool. I do not bring fools into my life. You see the difference between a professional and a lifestyle BDSM, Ms, Ds, participant is that the professional NEEDS others to survive, others that actually pay the rent. Higher volume and less screening makes for higher risk. Whereas a lifestyle participant is searching for a partner, usually longterm relationship stuff. For this we care about more than the size of the wallet. Things like.......is this person trustworthy enough to bring into my life? Does this person have a history of problems that might cause ME problems. Granted nothing is guaranteed. There is no reason to think anyone is exempt from risk. However, I seriously doubt that there is a much higher risk of accusations and charges in a serious longterm BDSM relationship gone wrong than many vanilla relationships gone bad. (he threatened me, he beat the kids, she gets drunk/does drugs.......etc etc etc) My point is this.........all of life is a risk, we have to calculate to what extent we are all willing to take risks. If someone is going to make a living with the knowledge they will be at greater risk, that is their problem. They should have known. And yes, I have discussed BDSM stuff with several attorneys and law enforcement officials as well as a judge or two, they are friends of mine. We discuss alot of things, most are alot more interesting subjects that what any of us enjoy behind closed doors. Things like, gardening, our dogs, trips we have taken/want to take, the weather....etc. You know, boring real life stuff. Not wether or not the anal sex, lawyer A had with his partner, the gallery owner, while he was tied down, was legal or not.
