There’s a common misconception that you’re unemployable after serving prison time or left elected office in shame due to well-documented improprieties you committed while serving the public, or both. Well, I’m here to to say that’s not true at all. A very lucrative job opportunity still awaits you as a dominatrix.
Let me be clear: I’m not referring to anyone in particular and I’m not saying men can’t/don’t work in the BDSM industry. I’m a woman, so therefore my target audience are women, particularly those who previously served constituents and now find themselves without a higher calling.
Switching careers should not be an issue whatsoever. You’re merely switching titles and the job function remains the same. As a politician, you serve your constituents by punishing them to the maximum extent possible. That’s exactly how a master-slave relationship works.
As a dominatrix, you’re paid to inflict pain, albeit for a pleasurable purpose. The customer hires you in order to reach a satisfactory climax. Similarly, politicians are elected based on promises they make. You were chosen under the expectation that these promises will come to fruition. It doesn’t matter whether pain is the price to pay for happiness because that is precisely why voters make ballot choices.
Mankind’s choice lies between freedom and happiness and for the great majority of constituents, happiness is better. Whether a politician or dominatrix, you’re given broad discretion bring happiness.
While it’s not unheard of for people to get into politics after baring skin (Stormy Daniels, Brandi Love, Mary Carey, etc.), with some even achieving success (Ilona Staller, Anastasia Deyeva and Alejandra Umana), yet politicians turning to sex work after they’ve served is an extremely rare phenomenon.
Some politicians became well-known due to their alleged proclivities for sexual deviancy while in office (Helen Chenoweth-Hage, Cindy Gamrat and Katie Hill). Unfortunately, cases like these typically lead to resignation, but not always.
As far as I know, there are no known examples of women trading politics for bondage equipment. If you think of any, please do not hesitate to let me know. But we don’t need examples, we need pioneers.
What people are missing here is that sex and politics go hand-in-hand, particularly BDSM and politics. As an elected leader/representative/whatever, you cannot tell me that your intentions are altruistic. Don’t feed us any bullshit, we know why you’re there.
The object of power has always been power. That’s why we elected you. We want to be dominated. Legislate, serve and protect the shit out of us.
So if this was your approach to running elected office, come see me, I have a job for you.
