Mistress Martina's Diary

'Mistress Martina's Diary' is a raw account of working in the bondage and discipline/fantasy sex industry in Perth Western Australia. For many years Martina kept a diary to help her understand her conflicting emotions as she progressed from a 'vanilla' sex worker to becoming a B&D mistress with her own dungeon of specialist equipment. It is a story of sex workers' camaraderie and how they rally to support each other when a client suddenly dies and later when one of their friends is found murdered. As the women try to make sense of their complicated private lives, Martina lays bare the bizarre requests of her clientele. From a truck-driving cross-dresser to Silver Tape Man and her slave Ben Hur, Martina gives a no-holds-barred account of what happens in her dungeon. She reveals the psychology of why some men's childhood experiences arouse them throughout their lives and their need for a mistress they trust to fulfil their fantasies. Throughout her journey Martina questions her motives and meets a client who provides her with the emotional security she needs to continue in her specialised trade. The financial rewards of working in the sex industry are considerable but what price do these women really pay in terms of their personal well-being?
