Please tell us your name

Mistress Shae Flanigan

What is your location - Country, state/province and city?

United States of America, Southern California. Specifically, I session in both downtown San Diego and downtown Los Angeles.

Do you own slaves in your personal life? If so where did you meet and what duties do they fulfill?

I have had a number of personals in the past, one was my photography slave whom I met on a photo shoot and one was my 24/7 house boi whom I met at a gathering at The Academy years ago. At this time however I have chosen to take some time without any personal slaves.

Do you have an area of expertise? If yes tell us a bit about it.

While I of course have excellent mastery of all the “Domme Basics” my true areas of expertise are playing with energy and mind games. To me, anyone can pick up an implement and beat someone, but to be able to crawl into another person’s mind, connect with them and discover the buttons that they never revealed to anyone before.... Those moments are my favorite. It doesn’t matter what is going on in the rest of your scene, (be it corporal, medical or bondage), once you’re inside a person’s mind, everything else is kicked through the roof.

What should a potential submissive client know about you before trying to schedule a session?

1. Protocol and manners will take you far.
2. Read my site before calling me.
3. Do not “expect”; that is my role. You however, simply do your best to please.
4. Be ON TIME. Not early, not late. ON TIME. If you are going to be late or need to reschedule, call.
5. I will not peg you so do not ask.
6. Do not waste my time, I am polite on the phone. How ever do not take advantage of that or you will find yourself blocked. I recommend that If you would like to “chat” with me, call my nite-flirt line.
7. Do not try to schedule an appointment with me with less than 12 hours notice, 24 hours notice will have much better luck.

Do you have your own Dungeon or do you rent? What kind of equipment and toys can be found there?

I had The Academy in downtown Los Angeles for quite some time, but now as I spend 1/2 my time in LA and 1/2 my time in San Diego I share space with other Ladies.

In San Diego I am part of Dungeon Servitus. http://warning.dungeonservitus.com/
DS is a fully equipped private boutique dungeon. We do not do space rentals and only share space between few of us. Our equipment is gorgeous clean and well maintained and as far as toys, we have everything under the sun. If there is something specific you have in mind, please ask as I may bring it from my home collection.

In Los Angeles I rent on an as-needed basis from the wonderful Mistress Tara Indiana at Den of Iniquity. DoI is a multi-roomed Dungeon with just about every type of equipment you could desire. Again though, if there is something in particular you are interested in ask me during our call so I know whether to bring something form my home collection.

What are your favorite types of sessions?

As a sadist and energy player I take my delight in many forms. If I don’t connect with someone I don’t take the session, period. My favorite types of sessions are those in which I get to play hard; whether emotionally, mentally, or physically, I love tormenting people. Games of cat and mouse, appeasement games, discipline scenes, behavior modification, tease and denial.... (I love the crucial moment of denial), until I eventually push them to their absolute limits. In the end we both leave exhausted and utterly happy.

How did you become a professional Dominatrix and what were your first experiences like as a ProDomme?

I was encouraged to become a Pro-Domme by friends who knew me as a Lifestyle player. Shortly after moving to LA I started meeting new play partners, so after getting home from work each day I’d play until 1:00 or 2:00 in the morning, get up at 5:00 am work a full day, get home at 7:00 or 8:00pm, eat, and do it all over again. After my friends saw me doing this constantly for a period of time, they told me that I needed to quit my day job and just play full-time. The idea was shocking to me.... “Me? A Pro-Domme? I’m just a Lifestyle Player! I don’t have what it takes to be Pro.....” But the idea stuck with me. So about a month later I quit my corporate job and applied at a local dungeon. The first few sessions were a little unnerving as I tried to get the hang of how to have a fulfilling scene in an hour...(Really?) Which, while I CAN do it now, I still prefer a minimum of 2 hours for my sessions. Needless to say, I was hooked and I’ve never looked back.

How long have you been involved with BDSM as a professional Dominatrix?

I’ve been a Professional Dominant now for the past 4 years.

What is your natural demeanor (e.g. strict, humorous,friendly)?

If people are polite and respectful they will get a much friendlier, though still proper, side of me; I have no patience for lack of respect. Once the scene begins, I am precisely who I want to be to fit the mood and energy of the moment. Some scenes are light-hearted, some scenes are brutally strict; everywhere on that spectrum are elements of me and I am always true to myself. I don’t play-act as it comes across as “fake”. My heavy masochists know, that the more sadistic I am the sweeter I become. *To the brats and SAM’s out there, please note: being rude will not get me to yell at you, it will simply get your call ended and your number blocked.

What is your most memorable session?

It’s impossible for me to choose just one as there have been so many amazing sessions over the years. I will give one word hints for my clients who may be reading this so they know that they are in my thoughts....
