A woman quit her job as a real estate broker to become a full-time dominatrix charging £500 per hour.
Bizarre on Female First
Zoe Noir, 28, from London, was stuck working in a mundane 40-hour a week office job before she decided to offer sadomasochistic pleasure for her clients and now earns more for less of her time.
She explained: ''Before becoming a dominatrix, I had a career in the corporate world as an estate broker which ultimately wasn't my calling.
''I remember feeling frustrated, bored and miserable working in the corporate world - just sitting at a desk and filing papers on auto-pilot.
''I was earning a good salary, but I'd have to work forty-five hours a week.
''I certainly make more money as a dominatrix - working less and actually being able to enjoy my life.
''Now, I earn enough to live a comfortable life in London - to invest in myself, travel often, and to have a freedom of choice.
''Today my life is very different to how it used to be four years ago even though being a dominatrix is definitely not an easy job.''
Zoe insists that she does not have sex with her clients because she likes to ''maintain a level of dominance and power'' and doesn't even have to get naked because she dons ''latex or leather'' to seduce men,
She continued: ''As a dominatrix, I do not offer sexual intercourse during my sessions to maintain a level of dominance and power.
''I never get naked or even partially naked because my body is generally covered by latex or leather.''
And Zoe said the assumption that dominatrix women can't stand men and want to punish them is wrong as, although they want to put them into ''uncomfortable positions'', they are actually ''challenging'' them and helping them ''lose a sense of control''.
She added to LADbible.com: ''People think we hate men. This can't be further from the truth.
''I enjoy putting men in uncomfortable positions where they're able to lose a sense of control for a short period of time.
''I love to challenge them by pushing their boundaries and by demanding things from them.''
