Reader Rory Miller asks,
“What is the difference between martial artists and BDSM players?”
To minimize any confusion, I have compiled this handy reference chart.
| Title | Dominatrix (or, “Mistress”) |
Karate Sensei (or, “Master”) |
| Costume | Exotic, black | Exotic, white |
| Essential terminology | Violet wand Stiletto |
Gyaku zuki Neko ashi dachi |
| Fees | Pay by the hour (extra charge for incalls) |
Pay by the month (discount with quarterly contract) |
| Typical guidance | “You’ve been naughty” | “You lack discipline” |
| Training | Spankings | Push-ups |
| Expected response | Ow! | Hai! |
| Iconic action figure | Black Canary Barbie
|
Eagle Eye G.I. Joe
|
| Silly role-playing, or serious lifestyle? | Painfully serious! | Dead serious! |
Sweet, Chris.
