Lady Delphine Pro Dommes Academia

Intellectual Erection

On this episode I speak with professional Dominatrix Lady Delphine about her academic paper on pro domming titled “The Labor of Pleasure and Pain: Exploring Intimacy and the Therapeutic Aspect of Professional BDSM Through Emotional Labor” Lady Delphine discusses her Masters paper on the intersections of sex work, emotional labour, and therapeutic elements of BDSM. She discusses the importance of destigmatizing sex work and standing in solidarity with other sex workers as a professional dominatrix to avoid reinforcing a whorearchy. Her paper also theorizes emotional labour in sex work and the therapeutic effects of BDSM with important critiques for treating professional BDSM as therapy. We also discuss issues with race play and then end off with some raunchy stories involving food.
