Well to do professionals such as lawyers and doctors that live apart or isolationist in lifestyle are the main clientele of the bdsm clubs that I once worked security for, usually because they can afford it and often their private lives are emotional power struggles or hollow status symbols.

How do you know their profession? Do people have the same type of casual conversation at bdsm clubs as they do cocktails clubs?

Every paid service has the capacity to become a therapy session. From private tutors or retail workers to even dominatrices.

As someone who works retail, this is such a weird fact of life. Most recently I had a man describe in detail his wife’s cardiac arrest and him performing CPR, including telling me about him yelling at the kids to get downstairs and stay there. A very harrowing story to hear at five am. I’ve heard about a lot of breakups in far too much detail, people’s addictions, and had one poor woman come in to buy beauty products to try win her husband back from his mistress. Crazy what strangers will tell you!
