Investing in your fetish

When I first started working as an independent Pro Domina, I kept getting asked the same questions. One of the top inquiries was, "Do you have X piece of equipment or Y toy?" There's no problem with wanting to know if the Mistress has a wide enough toy collection to expand your horizons. Most of these inquiries were about medical implements.

After reading more about hepatitis A-E and HIV, I'm surprised more Doms don't insist on clients either bringing their own medical toys to session, or investing in an autoclave. In the past I've been told that pressure cookers are wonderful and cheap ways to sterilize sounds, speculums, and other metal toys. According to health practitioner standards and codes, this is NOT the case. In fact, it's one of the worst ways to try to sterilize something. Let's say you did a sounding scene with a slave. You didn't know it, but he had a subtype of hepatitis. Well, you throw the sounds in your pressure cooker to "sterilize" them and prep them to be used with another slave. At this point you've put the second slave at risk of contracting whatever your first slave has. That's not something I want to be responsible for.

So here are some reasons for investing in your fetish(whatever it may be):
1. The obvious health reasons. You know exactly where your toys have been. Read about the subtypes for hepatitis on the internet.
2. Your toys can be taken out to stir up some hot fantasies. You can relay them to your Mistress and be either punished for being so dirty, or rewarded for amusing her! :)
3. Whatever your religious association-or lack of one-I think our toys carry some of the energy from the experiences that have been had with them. Sometimes it's nice to have that positive energy near by when you're going through rough times.
4. Fit. It is impossible for a Mistress to have all the sizes of that rubber hood to do breath play with you, the proper fitting chastity device, the perfect fitting catsuit in either rubber or leather, or the correct size slave collar. For larger or smaller sizes, often things have to be custom made. We try to get an idea of the size of our slaves when ordering, but sometimes this doesn't work.
5. It shows initiative and dedication. In the past I've seen many novice dabblers who expect a rubber catsuit in their exact size. Do they end up sessioning often enough to validate that expense? No! Investing in your fetish shows a Mistress how serious you are. If you are serious about your fetish, chances are we'll want to spend time with you...i.e. more fun for all!
6. Travel. Many Mistresses travel to other cities. Obviously, a Mistress can't take her entire dungeon with her. Sometimes the space she rents from doesn't have that specific CBT toy that gets you weak in the knees.

For your health, safety, and blissful enjoyment, I hope you've given investing in your fetish some thought.
