Private BDSM Dungeon
Studio Xème
Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.
–Oscar Wilde
Do I need a BDSM dungeon? Not at all. I dominate minds, and everything else is icing on the cake. BDSM is a mental game in the end, and I am a cerebral mistress whose only goal is to get into your head. But then again. . . Is it more fun to use a fully equipped dungeon? Yes. Oh my word, yes.
My dungeon room is small, but I make the most out of it, with every piece of furniture serving several functions. To be honest, I don’t have room for mediocre fetish toys, either. I jettison cheap nipple clamps to make way for something more durable and of higher quality. I am all too familiar with impulse buying a clearance BDSM toy only to have it languish and occupy space in the back of a drawer, probably making it more difficult for me to get to the item I actually want to use.
Having said that, I still constantly add items to my collection, and I have eschewed my long blue curtains to make way for pegs, racks, and shelves of fun items at my fingertips.

Kinky BDSM Furniture and Equipment
BDSM Dungeon Ambiance
As you enter, my space is a surreal, kinky cocoon that feels both disorientating and comforting at the same time. I prefer defused LED lighting that I can brighten or dim as I see fit, often settling on a light blue glow, but other colors might catch my fancy. My music playlists are soundscapes of classical and modern piano music, simultaneously soothing and stimulating you. My music choice is meant to bring you in the moment but also continue with you outside of the BDSM studio. Classical refrains carelessly played in the outside world will recapture your mind to our time together.
When I create a dungeon playspace, my primary focus is so that you feel as though you are in a different world. It gives a tangible feeling that you are not in the regular, boring outside life. In this incarnation of my dungeon, I have heavily utilized the hexagonal shape to facilitate fluid movement, allowing mirrors to be positioned where I need them, soundproofing to be where I need it, and diffused lighting to be where I need it. While creating this, I called it my “Sci-Fi Zen Garden with Rivers of Reflection.” I had fun building it. I have even more fun using it.
Cleaning Protocols
I cover all insertables with condoms or other barriers, and absorbent underpads go to catch any fluids, lubricant, or latex shine as a first step in keeping the dungeon sanitized. Even after all the precautions, I sterilize all items after use. All the furniture can withstand industrial-strength disinfectant while still looking new. Heavy rubber mats on the floor are easy on your knees and for post-session sanitization.
I personally clean every surface using a redundant cleaning technique tailored to the material – disinfectant wipes, antibacterial soap, and antiviral treatments. I place all silicon toys in an ultrasonic cleanser. This rigorous disinfection ritual has been developed for me by a top infectious disease specialist and exceeds the standards of hospitals. I outlined my dungeon cleaning procedures in my blog.
Bathroom/dressing area
Complimenting my elaborate playroom are facilities to help you transition between the outside and the magical, ephemeral worlds we create in my playspace. If you will, an “Air-Lock,” where you can shed your skin from mundanity and then shower to return gently to earth after your moments in “sub-space.”

The Neighborhood
You will find my dungeon nestled in the Canal St Martin neighborhood, the northern part of central Paris, where the Parisians enjoy trendy restaurants or a picnic on the side of the Canal. Young, hip, and feeling the full force of Paris’ sexual liberation, it’s the perfect area to keep my play space.
You can arrive early and enjoy some quiet time at a café or stroll the Canal with a quiet snack before we meet. Also, there are plenty of cheerful restaurants, bars, and shops for you to treat yourself to after the intensity of our playtime.
How to get to Studio Xème
Studio Xème is 200 meters from Gare de l’Est, a major metro stop and parking area. This station serves Metro lines 4, 5, and 7, RER E and P, as well as Bus lines 31, 32, 38, and 39. If you arrive by car, there is a large underground parking station. Street parking can be difficult, so this will be your best option. Conveniently, there is always a queue of taxis waiting for you at Gare de l’Est.
