I’m absolutely thrilled to (finally!) announce the grand opening of Wicked Eden, and I’d like to personally invite each and every one of you to come celebrate with me! This event is going to be unlike any other – with over 35 celebrity Dommes (and counting) in attendance and attendees flying in from all over the world, it’s shaping up to be an unforgettable experience.

As you know, the new Wicked Eden has my passion project – a space where alternative lifestyle communities can come together to explore their desires in a safe and inclusive environment. The road to this grand opening has been long and arduous, but it’s all been worth it. With a million dollars invested into the space, we’ve transformed it into a luxurious 6,000 square foot oasis that I can’t wait for you to see. We are currently in the home stretch for construction and will hopefully be moving into our new space at the end of April.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle” overlay=”0″ css=”.vc_custom_1680410155692{margin-top: 40px !important;margin-bottom: 40px !important;background-color: #5e5e5e !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/6″][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1680410201309{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_column_text]

Dominatrix Alexandra Snow Unveils BDSM Event Space

Autonomy Project to Open New Venue Wicked Eden

Not only will you be able to explore our stunning new space, but you’ll also have the opportunity to mingle with some of the most renowned Dommes in the world. Trust me, it’s not every day that you get to be in the same room as these incredible women.

With the new direction of Wicked Eden, you must be a member of the Autonomy Project to purchase tickets– and to schedule sessions with me after June 3rd. You can read more about the Autonomy Project and becoming a member here.

So come join me for an evening of opulence, decadence, and exploration. I promise you won’t regret it.

I wanted to take a moment to share some updates with you all about what’s been going on behind the scenes at Wicked Eden. As many of you know, I’ve been incredibly busy lately with a variety of new projects and exciting changes happening, from the massive construction project at the new building to my focus on building my fanclubs to even greater heights. I recently reopened my OnlyFans (YouWillWorship.Me) to allow those who prefer that site to keep in touch, and I have had record numbers on my primary fanclub on LoyalFans (Loyal2Her.com)

First and foremost, with the popularity of my documentary and the mad scramble before I raise my rates in the coming months, I am fully booked for in-person sessions through May 1st. You can keep an eye on my schedule for the rare cancellation or reschedule, otherwise you’ll have to wait to visit me in the new building in May when my books reopen.

If you’re reading this with sorrow, don’t despair! I’m still active on my fanclubs daily and I am still creating hot content and dishing out interactive assignments to keep you busy.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][ucaddon_simple_cta_line banner_title=”Stay Connected with Me” banner_text=”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” button_text=”JOIN NOW” button_link=”http://www.loyal2her.com” background_color=”#0e88aa” uc_fonts_data=”JTdCJTdE”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/6″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”8892″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”8898″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Speaking of transition, I am thrilled to announce that Wicked Eden is now being operated by the Autonomy Project, my new non-profit organization that is dedicated to promoting sex worker rights and providing resources for folks in the LGBTQIA+ and kink communities. This change is something that I am incredibly excited about, and I can’t wait to see how it develops in the coming years.

Founding the Autonomy Project has been an enormous undertaking, and I couldn’t be more proud of what we’ve accomplished. From the documentary to the collective to my retreats for sex workers, I’ve learned much about creating meaningful change in our community. With the Autonomy Project as our guiding force, we will take our work to new heights and create a stronger community that bridges the gaps between the kink, queer, and sex-positive worlds.

With the launch of the Autonomy Project, my work has taken on a new direction, one that is focused on empowering creators and communities. I nearly cried upon receiving our 501(c)3 notice from the IRS last week, but the universe is giving me all the signs that this is the right direction to move in. It may be a great deal of work, but this work is a true labor of love. Don’t worry, I’ll still be doing sessions and making content, but I’ll be focusing on the non-profit as my heart mission.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][fwp_borano_title title=”Changes in Membership at Wicked Eden” link=”” tag=”h3″ title_pos=”text-center” absolute_center=”0″ separator=”1″ separator_pos=”separator” separator_m_bottom=”mb20″ title_color=”” extra_class=””][vc_column_text]

As of May 1st, we will also be launching a new membership program to the Autonomy Project that will provide access to exclusive events, workshops, and resources, as well as opportunities to connect with other members of the community.

What does this mean for you?

If you were a member of Wicked Eden in the past, as of May 1st, your membership will become obsolete. Yes, I know, but it’s a necessary change as we switch to this non-profit model. In order to book appointments with me, you will need to purchase a membership to the Autonomy Project.

Memberships come in several varieties: three tiers of yearly membership, and a temporary membership. The yearly memberships also grand you the ability to purchase event tickets, attend classes, participate in the online community, and visit me as many times as you like. The temporary membership is only good for 48 hours and is good for one event or session.

In the coming weeks, I’ll be making the full announcement about the grand opening of the space. For the time being, SAVE THE DATE of June 3rd, as this is one event you certainly don’t want to miss.

We are now in the final stages of construction, but there’s still several long months of headache before we’ll be open. If any of you have ever remodeled a house, imagine that process but times x100! This project is costing me a small fortune and we are desperately reaching the stage where donations will be the only thing that get across the finish line. With our new 501(c)3 status, your donations are now tax deductible!

Donors who contribute $500 or more will receive a sneak peak invite to our soft open VIP party, as well as the option to be included on our Hall of Fame wall for all time. You can donate using one of the links below!

[/vc_column_text][ucaddon_uc_slide_down_button text=”Donate Here” link=”http://www.autonomyproject.org/donate” text_hover_color=”#00faff” uc_fonts_data=”JTdCJTdE”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space][fwp_borano_title title=”Donations, Wishlists, & Tributes” link=”” tag=”h3″ title_pos=”text-center” absolute_center=”0″ separator=”1″ separator_pos=”separator” separator_m_bottom=”mb20″ title_color=”” extra_class=””][vc_column_text]

It comes as no surprise that this entire endeavor is incredibly expensive, and I’ve extended myself pretty hard financially to do so. I’ve leveraged my existing production/media business to build Wicked Eden, which will now not be supported by sessions like a typical dungeon.. but instead upheld by this nonprofit. I’ve been mildly disappointed in the lack of support from my clients and fans over this endeavor (with the exception of a couple of very good boys!), but I have faith that you’ll recall all the wonderful adventures I’ve crafted for you all these years and rise to the occasion.

We welcome items purchased from our Amazon Wishlist as well as monetary donations directly to the space here.

If altruism isn’t your kink, then know that I’ll certainly have more time to be present with your fantasies once this phase is complete. So the more you help me, the faster I can get back to giving you life-changing experiences and making more jaw-dropping femdom content. Or I’ll just lock you all up in chastity and hold your keys for ransom.. whatever gets the job done.

You can also send tributes directly to me to help cover the time and income lost from managing this project, which will most certainly make me a very happy Goddess. Nothing turns me on quite like selflessness from my pets.

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][fwp_borano_title title=”Hall of Fame” link=”” tag=”h3″ title_pos=”text-center” absolute_center=”0″ separator=”1″ separator_pos=”separator” separator_m_bottom=”mb20″ title_color=”” extra_class=””][vc_column_text]

At the grand opening, I’ll be unveiling our Hall of Fame of major donors and supporters. Other Dommes and sex workers who donate $500 or more will receive a beautifully framed photo of themselves and a plaque on our wall, which will remain on the walls of our legendary space permanently. Donations over $1000 will receive a larger photo and a permanent link on our new high traffic website, which will be rolling out late March/early April.

You can also donate in the name of your favorite Domme or creator and see them enshrined here as well.

You can donate using any of the links above, then send me an email to alex@alexandrasnow.com to let me know which name you donated with, how you’d like your name formatted, and provide the photos for printing.

I’ll be sending out formal announcements and invitations to purchase tickets to my mailing list in the coming weeks, so make sure you’re subscribed and keep an eye out in your “other” email folders as those like to bypass your inbox for Gmail users.

You can also keep an eye on my Twitter for additional updates and announcements.

Congratulations on your upcoming session! I’ve assembled a little helpful information for you to get the most out of this life-changing experience.

You’re getting ready for session with a professional Dominatrix, and you want to make sure that it goes off without a hitch. That’s understandable! But if you’re not prepared, you could wind up with a less than stellar experience or even damaging your relationship with your professional in the process.

I’ll share my advice on preparing for a session with me, but these tips can be applied to any experience with a BDSM professional.

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”8834″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][fwp_borano_title title=”Pay attention to your instructions.” link=”” tag=”h3″ title_pos=”text-center” absolute_center=”0″ separator=”1″ separator_pos=”separator” separator_m_bottom=”mb20″ title_color=”” extra_class=””][vc_column_text]

You received a confirmation email with all the necessary details. Make sure you don’t delete this email, and make sure you put your appointment on the calendar so you don’t forget!

My schedule books up quite far in advance and if you have to reschedule, it could be a month or more before you get back in. It’s also incredibly disrespectful to me, because my time is limited and I’ve carved this space in my schedule for both of us. W

hen you reschedule within a week of your appointment, I don’t take last-minute sessions to replace them.

I am running multiple sites, a non-profit, shooting content, and managing my fanclubs and I only allot so much time to in-person sessions.  So treat this experience like the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity it is. Follow the arrival instructions carefully. Don’t arrive too early and if you’re going to be late, make sure you let me know as soon as possible.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][fwp_borano_title title=”Rest, eat, hydrate” link=”” tag=”h3″ title_pos=”text-center” absolute_center=”0″ separator=”1″ separator_pos=”separator” separator_m_bottom=”mb20″ title_color=”” extra_class=””][vc_column_text]

Make sure you get enough sleep before your session and eat something healthy prior. I’ve had so many clients who don’t eat before their sessions and end up shaky, light-headed, or worse.

Make sure to drink plenty of water before you arrive at the dungeon as well to stay hydrated throughout your time there! If you have an extended appointment, feel free to bring your own drinks and snacks as well. If you take medications, make sure you’ve taken them that morning. You might be nervous, but forgetting something your body needs is a sure way to ruin the experience.

This should go without saying, but arrive sober. You may feel like having a drink to calm your nerves, but it can actually have a very negative effect on the scene. Alcohol in your system increases the risk of lasting marks or reactions to certain play, and being impaired means that I can’t fully tell what you’re consenting to. If I feel that you cannot consent fully, I won’t play with you. End of story.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][fwp_borano_title title=”Prepare your body properly” link=”” tag=”h3″ title_pos=”text-center” absolute_center=”0″ separator=”1″ separator_pos=”separator” separator_m_bottom=”mb20″ title_color=”” extra_class=””][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]

Shower and clean your body with a gentle soap and moisturize your skin. Dry skin is flaky and unsightly, and it can leave you at risk for broken skin or marks from certain kinds of play. Exfoliate, it’s good for you!

Don’t wear heavy cologne, my nose is quite sensitive. Do use mouthwash though!

Avoid using lots of hair products, because I enjoy running my fingers through your hair. If you want to shave, now’s the time to do it! You can also trim any hair that might get in the way (for example, if there is some pubic hair that could get caught on clamps).

My preference is for closely trimmed or fully shaved public hair.

If you’re requesting anal play, administer an enema the night before AND the day of for best results. Use the infographics below to educate yourself on enemas.

Come dressed nicely, but not to draw attention to yourself. Business casual is always a safe bet. If you have special outfits or clothes to wear for your session, bring them with you. Don’t wear them to your appointment. (Except panties, you can wear those.)

Bring gifts or thoughtful gestures to show appreciation for me. You can peruse my website for ideas. Some good things to bring include craft sodas, chocolates (in a nice box), live plants such as orchids, sour candy, luxury candles (please no cheap candles), toys/gear such as whips, restraints, etc– especially ones from my wishlist.

If there’s something specific you’d like me to use on you, bringing it with you is always a good way to have it included in your scene. You can also bring donations to the dungeon, but make sure you put these in a separate envelope.

My studio is now a non-profit 501c3, so all your donations are tax-deductible!

It’s essential to be open and honest with me. I am here to help create amazing experiences, not judge or criticize you. If I don’t understand what your fantasies entail, I cannot provide the best experience possible. Keep in mind that I may not offer everything you’re seeking, but I can work around most ideas and concepts.

Bring your ideas to me, especially. I don’t have a “one size fits all” kind of session. Each one is unique and built from the compatibility we create, so your ideas are always welcome. I may or may not use them, but they’re always beneficial for helping to prime my creative process.

If this is your first session, or you’re requesting another interview because you haven’t been back in a while, we will sit down and have a candid conversation about your experiences, your limits, things you’re looking to explore, and the ideas you have. This will be casual and relaxed, not part of your session time. This allows for me to read you openly and honestly.

Being open to new experiences is the most important thing you can do when preparing for your BDSM session. It’s also the hardest, because it requires you to let go of any preconceived notions or expectations and surrender yourself to the experience.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”8832″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=”.vc_custom_1675456546762{border-radius: 1px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”8828″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=”.vc_custom_1675456567071{border-radius: 1px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][fwp_borano_title title=”Don’t try to be someone other than yourself.” link=”” tag=”h3″ title_pos=”text-center” absolute_center=”0″ separator=”1″ separator_pos=”separator” separator_m_bottom=”mb20″ title_color=”” extra_class=””][vc_column_text]

A lot of people are afraid to be themselves in the bedroom, but this doesn’t work for BDSM. If you’re not being honest with yourself about what you want and need, then it’s unlikely that your session will go well. If you have a fantasy of being a “slave” but really don’t understand what that means, then it’s best to just be yourself and allow the session to evolve organically.

This also includes asking for extreme activities that you don’t have any experience with. I’m going to go slowly and increase the intensity over time, because I’m not going to risk injuring you physically or mentally.

I don’t have any expectations from you other than being polite, honest, and respectful. I work with everyone across the power and gender spectrum and I value authenticity above all else.

This also goes for being “stoic” in your session. I love my pets to be expressive, vocal, and reactionary to the things I’m doing to them. Don’t just sit there and take it. That toxic masculinity crap doesn’t work around here.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][fwp_borano_title title=”Have realistic expectations of yourself.” link=”” tag=”h3″ title_pos=”text-center” absolute_center=”0″ separator=”1″ separator_pos=”separator” separator_m_bottom=”mb20″ title_color=”” extra_class=””][vc_column_text]

Preparing your mindset is an important step in preparing for a BDSM session. It’s not just about being physically ready, but also mentally and emotionally prepared. The best way to do this is by taking some time before your session to think about what you want out of it. Write it out if that helps, bring it with you if you think you’ll forget something.

It’s also crucial that you come in with an open mind. Don’t try to micromanage the experience, or want to know all the little details before they happen. I don’t even know what those are, because each session is different. Play should be organic and exploratory. Let me take the lead and guide you through.

If you’re coming in with the expectation of a specific thing, be realistic that your body may not cooperate. It happens! Your fantasy may be to take a 10′ dildo or be teased for hours on end, but that may not be realistic. A specific activity or scene may not occur because of time, equipment, how each our bodies feel, energy levels, or any number of things, and that needs to be ok. If you cling to a very specific outcome, you’ll miss all the wonderful connections and experiences you could be having along the way.

The same goes for orgasms. If you arrive with an expectation to cum, you’ll find I likely won’t let you. Orgasms are a privilege, not a right, and I feel that men already have an unhealthy obsession with them that gets in the way of experiencing truly incredible scenes. You might cum, you might not. But if you come in with a positive attitude

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”8830″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_empty_space][fwp_borano_title title=”Have realistic expectations of me.” link=”” tag=”h3″ title_pos=”text-center” absolute_center=”0″ separator=”1″ separator_pos=”separator” separator_m_bottom=”mb20″ title_color=”” extra_class=””][vc_column_text]

I’m a human being, not a fetish fantasy dispenser. I’m very very good at what I do, but I have bad days, tired days, aches and pains, and stresses just like you do. I may not be able to do a certain activity or be in the headspace for certain kinds of scenes all the time. I will always strive to create experiences that are fulfilling for both of us, but that requires a willingness to be open to whatever happens that day.

The best way to make sure I’m in a good mood and feel excited to play with you is to be enthusiastic, positive, and not demanding. If I feel that you are truly excited with whatever I may cook up that day, I’m more likely to go the extra mile to make it extraordinary. If you come in with demands and expectations, topping from the bottom, or petulant behavior, you’ll not get the experience you crave from me.

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][fwp_borano_title title=”Don’t be afraid to ask questions!” link=”” tag=”h3″ title_pos=”text-center” absolute_center=”0″ separator=”1″ separator_pos=”separator” separator_m_bottom=”mb20″ title_color=”” extra_class=””][vc_column_text]

If you are new to BDSM, it’s important to remember that there’s no such thing as a stupid question. If you’re not sure what something means or if it sounds like something that would be enjoyable for you, ask! Just make sure that you’re keeping your pre-session communication to a minimum unless you’re compensating me for my time.

I don’t have the time or energy for long emails or phone sessions prior to appointments, these things are best discussed during your interview. If you have logistical questions before your session, you can always ask those.

If you have specific needs that need addressing before we begin your session (for example: “I want more pain than usual today”), don’t hesitate–tell me about them! The more information I have about your desires and limits, the better equipped I am at fulfilling them. You should also feel free to tell me if something isn’t working for either one of us, things that are going well, or places you want to explore.

It is important to be comfortable with yourself before you begin. If you’re struggling with something, let me know. If a particular activity does not feel right for your body or mind, tell me so I can help guide you through it in a way that works for both of us.

My particular style of domination includes a fair amount of psychological play, and this can open up areas in you that you’re scared to address. That’s ok. Let me in. I am here to help you become the best version of yourself.

I enjoy the process of getting inside your head, and that requires you to open up to me and give me access to all the deep, dark corners of your psyche. This is where all the best play comes from, because I’m able to utilize the little gems of your mind to create scenes and situations.

Take some time to process your experience. Journal about it if you like, send me an email with your thoughts and feelings. I always enjoy reading your feedback and incorporating it into the next scene. It’s also incredibly validating for me to read about how this experience has affected you.

Take some time to allow these feelings to coalesce, so don’t worry about emailing me right away.

Take care of your body. Rest, hydrate, stretch. Some people experience “sub drop” after a session, which can result in lethargy or depression, which is normal after the high level of endorphins you’ve experienced. Take care of yourself in this time and know that it will pass. It often helps to schedule the next appointment or plan for a future experience so it gives you something to look forward to.

Lastly..

Don’t worry about getting it right the first time or ANY time, this isn’t about you being perfect. I don’t expect you to be the perfect submissive, I just want you to come away from each experience a little better than you arrived. Relax and surrender to the unknown. It’ll be worth it, I promise.

I am the subject of a documentary that was released today to over two dozen streaming services: “A Wicked Eden.”

A WICKED EDEN is a look at the inner workings of the Femdom fetish world, focusing on Goddess Alexandra Snow as she trains new talent, Raevyn Rose, in the way and secrets of how to run a business based on kink successfully. This 96-minute documentary promises to be funny, smart, sexy, and a little bit wicked.

I’ll be honest with you: this is one of the scariest things I’ve ever done in my life.

That’s because this documentary is about sex work, specifically the world of FemDom and fetish content creators and, well, a whole lot about my life that I’ve never shared in any public forum.

I am a sex worker. I have been for nearly two decades, and I am damn proud of what I do.

But I said yes because this is something I believe in: the voices of sex workers need to be heard. We are real people with real jobs, because sex work is real work. We desperately need to break down stigma and marginalization, and the only way we progress is by allowing people to see us as real people.

I said yes, because we need to talk more about sex, kink, and BDSM — and we need to talk about them honestly. Shame is toxic. Shame around sexuality and sexual expression causes so much harm to intimacy, autonomy, and self-worth. I’ve spent nearly two decades helping people explore their sexualities, work through traumas, and experience a reprieve from shame.

This documentary explores the complex world of femdom and fetish content creators, especially building a successful business in one of the most hostile sociopolitical landscapes. It includes dealing with fans and clients, gaining skills that no school can teach, navigating relationships, and ,most importantly– the uniqueness and solidarity of the community we’ve built. There are many interviews with my friends and colleagues, with sex therapists and fans and submissives. It’s incredibly sexy and funny, and uplifting.

And.. there’s a lot about my personal life in there. Truthfully, that was the hardest part.

When the project first started, I had carefully crafted answers for the interview questions, the same answers I’d given a dozen times to magazines and podcasts. How did I get started? What is it like to be worshipped by these men? What is dating like for me? What’s the weirdest thing I’ve ever been asked to do? (It’s still a video on having swallowed alien eggs from a gas station egg salad sandwich if you must know.)

There was a point in the interviews when the wall I’d built between my work persona and my authentic self began to break down. I stopped giving the rehearsed sound bites and started to open up. I began to realize that the only way for people to connect with me and people like me was to be vulnerable, honest, and raw. Vulnerability is challenging for most people, but it’s especially tough when you’ve spent 17 years as a Dominatrix. Not only does the media love to portray us as being broken little girls with Daddy issues, but they also love to paint BDSM as the result of trauma and abuse. The reality is that humans are complex creatures, and none of us get through life unscathed, so pretending otherwise was a life I didn’t want to lead anymore.

Or maybe it’s all the words of Brene Brown echoing in my head. Who knows?

[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”8759″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_empty_space][fwp_borano_title title=”Why I said yes to being the subject of this documentary” link=”” tag=”h3″ title_pos=”text-center” absolute_center=”0″ separator=”1″ separator_pos=”separator” separator_m_bottom=”mb20″ title_color=”” extra_class=””][vc_column_text]

As a professional dominatrix and fetish porn producer, I’ve often been asked to share my story. I’ve been approached by other documentary companies, TV networks, and even reality TV shows. There are several reasons why I have often refused the opportunity.

The biggest reason is that documentaries about sex workers are seldom made with our voices. They are always made through a lens of sensationalism or pity, such as the 2015 Netflix Documentary Hot Girls Wanted. It never shows us with any agency, only as helpless victims waiting to be saved.

But when Naddine Madell, a Candian filmmaker, approached me about this project, I saw that she already had a portfolio of other work that championed female empowerment. So I took a leap with one condition: I would agree to do the film, but only if I had veto power over absolutely any scene, to ensure that our stories retained the right narrative I also refused to sign any of the legal documents until the rough cut was finished, to make damn sure I didn’t end up like the women interviewed by Louis Theroux.

She agreed.

What transpired next was 3 ½ whirlwind years of filming and gaining some of the most beautiful friendships with the production crew and with Naddine herself. She kept her word at every step and demonstrated incredible ethics and honesty throughout the process. I remain in awe of how each of these people has stood up for us and continue to fight for our voices.

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][fwp_borano_title title=”The voices of sex workers need to be heard.” link=”” tag=”h3″ title_pos=”text-center” absolute_center=”0″ separator=”1″ separator_pos=”separator” separator_m_bottom=”mb20″ title_color=”” extra_class=””][vc_column_text]

Sex workers are stigmatized, criminalized, and marginalized to the point where they cannot be seen as experts on their own experiences.

But sex workers are leaders in the fight for sexual freedom. We are the shock troops of feminism, demanding that our voices be heard and our rights respected.

Sex workers have long been considered either victims or criminals, and modern media likes to turn us into circus animals for their amusement. They portray us as something to be pitied or saved, or as degenerates who do not belong with the rest of polite society.

The reality is the majority of sex workers, whether online or in-person, are people who have chosen their profession because they find it lucrative, fulfilling, and rewarding. Many of us are college-educated, run successful businesses, maintain happy relationships with our friends and family, pay our taxes, and are upstanding citizens. We are normal people, like you. (Ok maybe normal is a stretch!)

Do things like abuse and exploitation happen in the adult industry? Of course, it does. But it doesn’t happen at any higher rates than any other industry. In fact, more exploitation happens in the hospitality industry than anywhere else. As someone who was exploited early in my career by my ex-husband, this stuff happens because society does not empower sex workers with agency and autonomy. In the years after escaping my own hell, I sought to change that by being the person I wish I had when I first began.

I want to show the world that sex workers come from all walks of life — there isn’t just one type of person involved in this industry any more than there is one type of client or fan who seeks our services and content.

I wanted to follow in the footsteps of Carol Leigh, who coined the term sex work, and who spent their life fighting for us.

The process of being filmed by a documentary crew can be grueling, even for someone like me who is quite used to being on camera. Hours upon hours of set up for one interview, numerous locations, 2 countries, and 6 different trips. They filmed hundreds of hours of footage to get the tiny little snippets you see in the film.

It felt like every last inch of my life was on film for those trips, and in some of the interviews, I was sick with the flu or so exhausted I couldn’t string words together. We did some cities back to back, with long flights and multiple road trips. It was a great deal of trust to place my story in the hands of these people, but they handled it with beauty and care.

At the time filming had begun, I had recently hired Daddy Des, and the experience of each trip definitely solidified our dynamic partnership even if it often felt like a trial by fire.

The crew told me they had never become friends with any of the subjects of projects they’d worked on previously, to which I still can’t imagine it any other way.

Kara, Alex, Roxy, and Naddine — thank you for everything.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][fwp_borano_title title=”We need to talk more about sex, kink, and BDSM.” link=”” tag=”h3″ title_pos=”text-center” absolute_center=”0″ separator=”1″ separator_pos=”separator” separator_m_bottom=”mb20″ title_color=”” extra_class=””][vc_column_text]

One of the most valuable aspects of this film outside of sex work is its compassionate portrayal of kink and BDSM. There’s still so much shame surrounding sexuality, especially for those who identify with submissive desires. The interviews helped to normalize this and show that these are all healthy aspects of sexuality when conducted in a healthy way.

Dominance and submission are symbiotic relationships that hinge on consent, trust, and connection, and for men who are able to joyfully embrace their submissive fantasies, it can be an antidote to toxic masculinity. In fact, it is by upholding powerful femininity, such as the glorious world of femdom shown in this documentary, that we can truly break down the stranglehold toxic masculinity has on men.

I was especially proud of Mo in the documentary because he bravely chose to honor himself with his interviews. Whether he knows it or not, Mo is the hero that more men need and has my unfettered respect.

My protege in the film, Ryan (formerly Raevyn), remains one of the most powerful voices for sexual liberation and she continues to inspire me to embrace my own sexual evolution every single day. The relationship that we built over the course of the documentary remains strong to this day and I’m grateful for her presence in my life.

I hope that my participation in this documentary helps other people to live their truth. I hope that it gives the mainstream public a different perspective on sex work, and inspires others to embrace their sexual desires.

I hope this sheds some light on how challenging it is to build and maintain a successful business in the adult industry, and how every single person you’ve ever fapped to on the internet deserves your respect– and your money.

(Side note: pay for your porn, people. There’s nothing sexy about jerking off to someone’s stolen work.)

If you’ve watched the documentary and want to be part of the magic of building my new space, we can use all the help we can get. Donate to the New Wicked Eden.

For as long as I’ve been a pro, my dream has been to own my studio building and never again be at the mercy of a landlord. However, buying commercial space is incredibly difficult for normal business owners, virtually impossible for a queer woman in the adult industry. I’ve had this dream shot down more times than I can count, but I never gave up. I rebuilt my business from scratch 7 years ago and worked so hard to make it look good on paper, to recover my credit and respectability from my divorce, and to build the business savings (which meant paying myself a LOT less).

In January, I decided to try again after finding an ideal building. This started the most grueling, brutal process of a commercial loan.. and let me tell you, it’s impressively hard.

For the last 4 months, I’ve spent 20+ hours a week PLUS my actual job (even while traveling to Greece and with COVID) playing this never-ending game of proving that I deserve this loan.

Mountains of paperwork.
Excruciating financials.
Non-stop problem solving.
Panic inducing emails.
Hundreds of hours on the phone with the IRS, the state, accountants, the lender.
More paperwork, more proof, more agreements.
Finding a contractor, an architect, and nailing down a construction budget.
Battling the misogynistic seller’s agent who tried to cancel the deal constantly because he had another buyer lined up offering more if my deal fell through.

My team did their best to pick up the slack and keep things running while I did battle on this every day, for which I would never have been able to do this without them.

But somehow, fortune and my hard work paid off. She’s all mine.

I signed the papers on Monday and got the keys yesterday! I’m now the owner of a beautiful, freestanding brick building just south of downtown. It will be offices, commercial dungeon, event space, rental photo/video studio, and production space — 6000 SQ ft of possibilities.

We will be utilizing the space for both production studio and dungeon, along with Tabitha Jane as my resident Domme partner-in-crime.

The loan I acquired allows for most of the structural work, walls, flooring, etc but none of the decor and furnishings.

I’ve started a Fundly (a better alternative to GoFundMe) for the remaining amount that we’ll need for this project. I’ve outlined the current priorities and items that we’re working towards, which include security fencing, appliances, hot water heater, and more.

I’ve been fortunate to have a kickass architect who understands my vision and the designs we have cooked up are amazing. Suspension system built into polished beams, glossy medical room, immersive bondage theatre, sensual library, sparkling makeover room, and so much more.

She might not look like much now, but when we’re done.. it’s going to be the most beautiful playspace you’ve ever seen.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”DONATE TO OUR DREAM” color=”success” size=”lg” align=”center” i_icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-hand-holding-usd” add_icon=”true” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Ffundly.com%2Fthe-new-wicked-eden|target:_blank”][vc_empty_space][vc_media_grid grid_id=”vc_gid:1656623213165-528236e7-71aa-0″ include=”8619,8620,8618,8617,8615,8616,8613,8612,8614″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][fwp_borano_title title=”FAQ” link=”” tag=”h3″ title_pos=”text-center” absolute_center=”0″ separator=”1″ separator_pos=”separator” separator_m_bottom=”mb20″ title_color=”” extra_class=””][vc_column_text]Where is it located?

The new building is still in Columbus, and is located just south of downtown. It has a large parking lot and will be fully security fenced.

What will it have?

The building will be split into two sides, one dedicated to kink and the other dedicated to video production. The dungeon side will feature 7 fully sound dampened, private playrooms that will be rentable to couples/moresomes and select professionals with two full bathrooms with full showers. It will also have overnight accommodations with bedroom and shower, a community space with full kitchen and classroom area for classes and educational events.

The entire space (6000 sq ft) will be utilized for larger events and play parties, as well as creative events featuring photography, music, and dance. We intend to rent our production space to industry creatives as well as utilize it for our own production projects.

When will construction be finished?

As with everything else post-pandemic, things are taking longer than usual and we don’t anticipate the construction to start until August. We hope to have everything finished and to move in fully by late fall, with our grand opening occurring sometime towards the end of the year.

Will you be documenting the process?

I absolutely will! I intend to document everything and post regular updates to the Wicked Eden social media (Twitter and Instagram), as well as post updates to my fanclub: Loyal2Her.com[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”DONATE TO OUR DREAM” color=”success” size=”lg” align=”center” i_icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-hand-holding-usd” add_icon=”true” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Ffundly.com%2Fthe-new-wicked-eden|target:_blank”][vc_single_image image=”8178″ img_size=”full” alignment=”right”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row]

This meant that my IWantClips store went from over 2400 clips to 50, and last I checked, wasn’t yet back to above 200. My Clips4Sale store had no new updates for over 2 weeks, and I had to delete and re-upload all new clips and hope they passed this new compliance in time to keep my Top 50 traffic. As a top 50 clip store for over 8 years, I rely on the sales from these sites to keep the lights on and my cats fed.

Needless to say, there has been much chaos and uncertainty about how this will play out in the coming months.. just like the OnlyFans chaos just a few months before.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”8431″ img_size=”550×309″ add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=”.vc_custom_1635280756761{border-radius: 1px !important;}”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”8423″ img_size=”550×309″ add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=”.vc_custom_1635280798806{border-radius: 1px !important;}”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]These are just two of my more recent videos that will be “flagged” by clip site compliance AI as a result of these changes — the left because it looks like multiple people in the video, and the second because the AI confuses the middle finger or “L” for loser as a weapon.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”12px”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”8461″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” onclick=”link_image” css=”.vc_custom_1635288027152{border-radius: 1px !important;}”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”8460″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” onclick=”link_image” css=”.vc_custom_1635288034485{border-radius: 1px !important;}”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_single_image image=”8462″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_custom_heading text=”My clip stores (such as IWC) may have a limited number of clips for some time, and new clips may be heavily delayed on sites like C4S.

This was following claims about sex trafficking on the platform from an opinion piece in The New York Times.

The supposed originating issue for these changes is something that EVERYONE in the industry wants to address: non-consensual content and underage content. This stemmed from the abuses of Pornhub and other tube sites, which previously did not require any type of verification to upload content and had been fairly controversial, meaning that anti-porn groups had something to sink their teeth into last December. (It doesn’t matter, of course, that sites like Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat have record numbers of abuses but aren’t held to the same scrutiny as adult sites. Facebook alone had 20 million instances of child sex abuse in 2020!) 

However.. the latest changes are difficult, if not impossible, to comply with. The new changes require not only an additional ID verification and performer verification system (one that we already do when we sign up for a site, and are required by law to maintain our own records under 2257), but also MANUAL REVIEW of the content across these sites.

As the ACLU’s amazing article here states: “To take one example, a site like OnlyFans has one million content creators. If each of them uploaded one video in a given day, under Mastercard’s policy, OnlyFans would have to review each video before it’s published to determine whether it complies. Pre-publication review at that scale is almost impossible, and would likely be rife with errors considering the speed at which online platforms operate. This policy will make it much harder for platforms to host adult content, which will destabilize the websites that sex workers use to make a living. Additionally, this policy is not targeted to address Mastercard’s stated concerns. The policy applies only to a small fraction of web sites – those that host adult content – but all available evidence indicates these problems proliferate across all kinds of websites.”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][fwp_borano_title title=”Discrimination against sex workers” link=”” tag=”h4″ title_pos=”text-center” absolute_center=”0″ separator=”1″ separator_pos=”separator” separator_m_top=”mt20″ separator_m_bottom=”mb20″ title_color=”” extra_class=””][vc_column_text]Banks have historically discriminated against the adult industry, from platforms to individual sex workers. Many payment processors, such as PayPal, refuse to do business with sex workers altogether, as they’re considered too “high risk” to take on as customers. This also extends to sex worker’s and their bank accounts, loans (including the PPP loan during the pandemic), payment platforms, and more.  There are no specific regulations against this, which leaves it in the hands of financial institutions to wholesale discriminate against us.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”I have personally been discriminated against by financial institutions more times than I can count.

Aside from the constant fear about having an account shut, it can also affect their ability to collect benefits, prove income when renting a home, and even pay the right taxes. Read more about why banks shun workers in the adult industry at the Guardian.

“Banks are required to file suspicious activity reports, or SARs, when they suspect something is wrong with the money coming in — wire transfers that aren’t accounted for, money moving to and from countries where it doesn’t make sense to do so, and anything that might look like money laundering.

In one of such SARs, banking major Wells Fargo had stated: “Based on the inexplicable nature of the outgoing wires, for which the original sources of funding were not known, but appeared likely to be income from the customers’ adult entertainment business, the information found regarding the customers’ business, and the illicit nature of those businesses, which are international and may be operating in areas where underage children and other vulnerable individuals might be forced to provide services, AMLI [Anti-Money Laundering Initiative] has deemed the specified outgoing wire transfer activity suspicious.” It is this mention of minors that is also common in Mastercard and Visa’s explanation banning Pornhub. There are, of course, many types of criminality and abuse that happen in and around the adult industry, but this is just not limited to this one industry. Children as young as six work in dangerous mines in order to extract the minerals that power our smartphones. As of last year, consumer goods from Apple, Microsoft, BMW, Gap, Huawei, Nike, Samsung, Sony, and others are being manufactured by re-education camp prisoners in China, according to an in-depth report by an Australian think tank.”[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”But sure, WE are the greatest evil…” font_container=”tag:p|font_size:28px|text_align:center|color:%2381acd1″ google_fonts=”font_family:Rancho%3Aregular|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” css=”.vc_custom_1635286715814{padding-top: 32px !important;padding-bottom: 32px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator border_width=”2″ el_width=”60″][vc_empty_space][fwp_borano_title title=”What’s Happening Now” link=”” tag=”h4″ title_pos=”text-center” absolute_center=”0″ separator=”1″ separator_pos=”separator” separator_m_top=”mt20″ separator_m_bottom=”mb20″ title_color=”” extra_class=””][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”8449″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=”.vc_custom_1635285998828{border-radius: 1px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]The list of banned topics and content types that we’ve been issued grows every year, and now that list has grown once more. It includes such things as:

Vampire
Hypnosis
Forced/Forcing
Pee/Golden Showers
Abductions
Blackmail
Incest Roleplay
Choking/Breathplay
4 limbs bound with penetration, even pegging
Age Play
Diapers

(for the full list and which sites, go here: Sophie Ladder’s Restriction Spreadsheet)

Videos will continue to be picked apart in compliance, and the AI systems that sites are using may falsely categorize a video as non-compliant. We will see a pretty strong sanitation of fetish videos across all the sites, which means that many of your favorite fetishes may disappear overnight.

(Don’t worry though, my members site remains unaffected– you can enjoy ALL of my clips there.)[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][ucaddon_uc_slide_down_button text=”Buy directly here!” link=”http://www.goddesssnow.com/vod” uc_fonts_data=”JTdCJTdE”][vc_empty_space][vc_separator border_width=”2″ el_width=”60″][vc_empty_space][fwp_borano_title title=”What you can do” link=”” tag=”h4″ title_pos=”text-center” absolute_center=”0″ separator=”1″ separator_pos=”separator” separator_m_top=”mt20″ separator_m_bottom=”mb20″ title_color=”” extra_class=””][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]First: learn what’s happening and get well versed on the war on porn.

How Mastercard’s New Policy Violates Sex Workers Rights

Tweet @Mastercard to end this policy and protect sex workers’ rights. Tell them that they must sit down with sex workers and develop solutions that create stability and reduce harm for us.

Defend us with your money, which is what these companies are most concerned about. Use other cards, such as American Express or Discover. Be aware of the institutions that discriminate most, such as Chase.

Purchase your content directly where you can. Be understanding that it’s not the sites making these rules and it’s not our choice, we are reliant on these platforms.

Send tributes to ease the massive hit we’re experiencing in revenue.

Commission custom videos, especially if your favorite clips don’t exist on these sites.

Book in-person sessions, the best way to explore fantasies without interference from religious groups.

Help engagement on social media of your favorite creators, like me and the Wicked Collective, to gain more visibility of the content we can sell.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”8450″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=”.vc_custom_1635289441508{border-radius: 1px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_separator border_width=”2″ el_width=”20″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Just keep supporting independent sex workers and being understanding about what we can and can’t do on these sites.

Performers and creators are leaving the industry in droves from burn out and I’ve had to cut back on my own online workload as not to run the risk of burn out too.

I have no intention of leaving though, don’t worry. I love what I do and we will, as always, find ways to overcome whatever they throw at us. In the meantime, though.. book an in-person session with me in Columbus, OH and let’s roleplay you as a Mastercard Exec so I can get some frustrations out.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”8178″ img_size=”full” alignment=”right”][vc_separator border_width=”2″ el_width=”20″][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row]
