Whip-crack away

Just watching some TV with mia madre and stumbled across "Hollywood Sex". Mm-hmm. Bit of footage of a veiled dominatrix wandering round her "Chateau" giving a guided tour; "This is the inquisition room, here's the cross and the manacles, here's the rope-rack... oh, and here's a nipple-clit clip" . Excellent parental viewing, obviously. Anyway, my mum scoffed at the program and suggested that it was all pretend and set-up. "This isn't real", she said. I let it pass, but then ventured, "uh, yeah, I think it is".

"But it's all just fantasy," she exclaimed.
"Yeah, that's kind of the point."
"But people don't actually do that, this is silly"
"Um, no... I think more than a few people do actually do it. I think maybe that's why places like that exist"
"Really?"
"'fraid so"

She looked genuinely shocked. Then concerned. "How do you know?", she asked. I explained I'd seen a lot of TV and had a computer. I further suggested she take a tour of the internet on her own computer if she wanted to know more about the contemporary world's sexual mores. Then (just because) I told her one of my friends was kind of into that sort of thing.

I actually think she came close to telling me not to see him any more. I saw it flash across her eyes.

Deary me.
