Are you fed up with your 9-to-5? How about learning to be a Domme? We visited the London Dominatrix School and sat down with Madame Kitty to chat about what it takes to rule the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
London Liverpool Street. Central Line. Short walk. Easy. If you thought Sex Dungeons had to be down a dingy alley in Soho, you’re very much mistaken. Studio X<\/a>, home to the London Dominatrix School<\/a> (LDS), sits at the end of a row of terraced townhouses next to a fancy caf\u00e9. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n There are no signs for a dungeon, no tell-tale blacked-out windows; only a ventilation pipe suggests that the cellar is being used for more than just storage. Which is to say it’s discreet. You wouldn’t have a clue what was going on below street level, and no one’s going to be suspicious if you’re carrying a duffel bag secretly full of bondage gear<\/a> or sex toys<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As you descend the stairs, you’d be forgiven for thinking you\u2019ve walked into an upmarket spa or salon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The reception room is spacious and unintimidating, perfect if you’re nervous about your first lesson or want to hire it out for a photoshoot. It also doubles as an elegant boudoir for more sensual play scenes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We were greeted by the manager of the LDS, who gave us a tour<\/a> of the facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to the reception, there are two well-equipped play spaces. There’s also a kitchenette and a very clean bathroom – complete with a walk-in shower. Perfect if you’ve gotten hot and sweaty during a session or involved any thing messy<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The main dungeon boasts a dramatic set up of BDSM gear, like a sex bench<\/a>, surrounded by red velvet and mirrors. Instruments of torture and delight are showcased in pristine glass cabinets, and a large backlit St Andrew’s Cross<\/a> puts the X in Studio X.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nStudio X<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
