christina
Two weeks before Spanksgiving ’09, christina was a young woman almost completely new to BDSM, and in the midst of full-blown sub frenzy. She agreed to fly thousands of miles to be with a lecherous older man who claimed to have “10+ years in the lifestyle." She submitted with few limits. Her first real scene consisted of way-out edge play, her second left her marked from shoulders to knees. In a city where she knew no one except the man who had her at his mercy, she was stripped, collared, branded, beaten, whipped, shocked, suctioned, and lit on fire. Not only did she survive, but she loved every minute of it. That weekend wasn’t about popping cherries, it was about making cherries jubilee!
From being a complete newbie in November, christina has grown in her lifestyle, and is now looking forward to co-presenting a session
called “From Zero to Sixty – how to jump into the lifestyle without
drowning”.
