BDSM has such a narrow market, it is hard for a business to survive in secret. Over the years I have seen several entrepreneurs start private membership clubs with BDSM furniture outfitted dungeon rooms. It's like a time share. You pay an annual fee and book time in the schedule. They don't usually last long or have to go public to survive financially, if they survive at all. I have also seen a few leather shops that have a rent-a-dungeon in the back... usually available with the additional services of the local Mistress. Both the rent-a-dungeons and the time shares often are a front for Pay-For-Play clients and are associated with or have a kickback referrals set up with pro Dominatrices. I have seen some seedy set ups, converted storage bins, a theater, a warehouse and a little 10 x 10 room in back of a leather shop. Those are the ones I recall. They all set off my "seems a little off" flag even though they were technically legitimate. From the rent-a-dungeons to the BDSM Bed & Breakfast places, you'll encounter a wide variety of people. If you aren't familiar with the underbelly of of the BDSM world, it can be off putting. Good luck. BTW, your link is down.
