What is on the shelves, and how to ask for it

The archivist's own note. What follows is the collection, series by series, and the conditions on which it is read.

  1. Find the shelf Every subject has a label on the edge of the shelf, and a call number on the row itself.
  2. Fill the slip Write the number of the box you want and hand the slip across the desk.
  3. Wait at the desk Boxes are fetched in order of the request, and nothing leaves the room.

The subjects

The subject is Reading dominatrix profiles before you book. The writing is filed under dominatrix, reading, before, book.

On Dominatrix, that means Reading dominatrix profiles before you book.

How to start

If you have never done this, Dominatrix.

This is how Dominatrix would put it, for Reading dominatrix profiles before you book.

  1. Agree it firstNothing is agreed on the day. The rate. The time. The limits. What is off the table. All of it, in writing, before anyone meets.
  2. Say what you wantA first session goes wrong when both people are guessing. Write your limits down. Send them. Read the other side's.
  3. Book the room, not the fantasyAsk what the session looks like, end to end. A vague answer deserves a second question.

Ground rules

Safewords come first. Boundaries come second. Aftercare comes third. None of the three is optional here, and all three are on the record before the session rather than decided in the moment. Any session can be stopped, by either person, at any point, without explaining yourself first.

The rules cover Dominatrix.
