Professional Dominatrix and disgusting queer pervert
Archivist dealing in pleasure, pain, and power
As a child, I was raised in the Roman Catholic church and, as most Catholics are, I was indoctrinated with the idea that sexuality and sexual autonomy were not only shameful, but ultimately sinful. Impure sexual thoughts and actions would culminate in a one-way ticket to Hell. But the rituals, the pageantry, and the figurative (and sometimes literal) self-flagellation endemic to Catholicism fascinated and aroused me. After all, what’s more kinky than getting on your knees and praying to a scantily clad, bloodied man nailed to a cross? In Catholic school, I remember being told by my teacher that touching and exploring your body was a sin in God’s eyes; as a curious child, I couldn’t understand why things that made us feel good could be bad. Catholicism taught me to be ashamed of my body and sexuality.
