Event Coordinators: Definitely Doms/Dommes


*smiles*  Part of my duties for several years included Event Cooridnation for over 300 of my company's distributors.  i thought this was a perfect job for a submissive!  i had to make sure every meeting, outing, tour, and meal was perfect;  and that one activity flowed to the next seamlessly while all the time being virtually invisible unless needed.  i loved that job!

They demanded perfection, always changing things at the last minute, asking nicely but always with a threat implied, and that were the good ones. The bad ones...well if your into humiliation they are definitely the ones to work for.

Porn and prostitution seem to be the biggest ones.  I think making sex toys may be the next biggest thing, but that's really not a talent so much as something a lot of local entities probably handle.  I'm sure a lot of more involved BDSM'ers make their own toys, but there could still be a market for custom things if you like working with them.

1st, I have to say... there IS talent involved in making GLASS toys! I have a friend who makes them and WOW, they are beautiful pieces of art. He also blows glass pipes, which is also another form of glass art that I like.

2nd, Being involved in S & M shows and what not, I have encountered quite a few peeople who make their own toys, ranging from whips, chains, chain male, restraints, gags, glass piecec to be entwined in rope, etc... But I DO live Fairly close to Hollywood CA and the scene her is pretty nice... What else would you expect from Hollywod?


Thing is, most of these people have DAY jobs and make the toys for their own play and pleasure. They may use them in public shows, but I don't think they get much money from it, if any. I sure didn't when I used to play in public, but thats fine. It was all in great fun and thats all that matters.

Just don't quit your day jobs. Haha

I'd think as a submissive (especially service oriented) Nurse and personal assistant come to mind.  NOT saying all nurses are subs, at all (you ever work with a skilled OR Nurse you KNOW there's a boss!)  but it could fulfill a service orientation.

A Brazilian waxer for sure! (I'm going to be laughing at that one for a long time from all the movie scenes I've seen where that was an element).  Well the direct jobs BDSM related might be porn, sex-therapy, making toys, but also working in a fetish shop.  Not sure if there are those tupperware-like parties where women and couples get together to buy sex-toys from a salesperson who stages the sex-toy parties to show the wares in a relaxed comfortable adult situation...no sex involved but they get a chance to buy quality toys without having to sleaze up to an ABS (not that there's anything wrong with that....).   Another job is the food industry...there's a resturant in NYC for instance that uses BDSM (moreso Femdom) as a theme to their atmosphere/theme.  


CNJDom,
What is the name of the resturant in NYC

Absolutely!  Whenever my physical therapist was torturing...uhm, working on my shoulder, I tell him he had the perfect job for inflicting pain AND getting paid for it.  He'd just grin and laugh.

my NYC friend is heavily invested in porn, so yes when I am up there we go watch them shoot it, and then of course there is the club, tough life looking at naked bodies enjoying themselves day in and day out...but realistically, yes it makes you jaded to a point, so like MIDAS, careful what you wish for, I know for sure I do not want a job in the bdsm/sex industry. . .

What jobs are there out in the world that are BDSM related? Besides porn.

I mean...is there even a broad field for people with our expertise?


If you think big picture about what feeds you in the lifestyle, whatever those aspects are, usually there are vanilla counterparts in the shape of a job where you can make a living wage. I'm a service oriented person. I've spent all my adult life one hour at a time trying to help other people feel better in their bodies, improving range of motion, easing restrictions, lengthening muscles. It's very rewarding for me on a personal level to spend my work day helping other people feel better. Good boundaries are involved, I feel like I'm doing good in the world, and it pays the rent. :)

You just gotta find your niche.

Status: offline 		I started out selling sex toys and lingerie at home parties, but they didnt have anything in the way of bondage gear beyond cuffs  n blindfolds and a few pvc items, but I was completely ignorant of the BDSM "community". I knew about kink, I knew about proDommes, etc, but didnt know about a "scene" (living just outside london too, how could I have been so blind!!!!) forward 15+ years and a continent away,  I got into BDSM online, then offline and got to meet some awesome artisans at munches and events, and out of that came the store. Its a job I love. altho right now its a nightmare updating everything.
Long response sorry, its early yet and the java beans arent working yet

i was actually corresponding w/a TM who ran a "Sissy Boutique". Boys would go in for the day to be transformed into sissies, go shopping, the works. It was run by Dom/Domme's and those that worked there were allowed to bring their "pets" to work w/them ;)

Yes, physical therapists :)  They elicit pain to a patient while smiling and joking :)
