Two years ago Pleasure (pj myst) and I were attending a local play party, there was a couple there doing a suspension (Lew Rubens and Maria Shadoes of Boundndetermined). This was the first time Pleasure had seen a suspension and she watched interest and enthusiasm. This was a new reaction for Pleasure, most of the other scenes she had seen were more extreme and she would hide behind me, being the sensitive soul that she is she always felt for the bottom. You have to know PJ, she is a well proportioned and all around gorgeous slave.

Maria approached Pleasure and asked her if she would be interested in doing a suspension. Pleasure didn't know what to do, I had never allowed anyone else to play with her and had never allowed her totally nude in public, this was going to be a couple of firsts for her. She was scared but also excited and once Lew started draping ropes on her she melted like butter. Every time ropes come in contact with her skin she gets this warm fuzzy feeling and she crumbles like putty. She loved being suspended and Maria, not being one to pass up an opportunity, recruited my lovely slave as one of the models for their site. Maria also helped get Pleasure started in modeling.

It was a big change for both of us at first. When we started I wanted Pleasure to get as much exposure as possible. This cut into our play time immensely because most people prefer to have a model unmarked. This changed when we decided to start our own site. (pjmyst.com). When we started our site it was primarily to promote Pleasure as a model and it was just a model site. As the Pleasure and I grew and the site developed, it became a Lifestyle Master and His slave site. This allows us to use our real playtime for our members. Which means that I can mark her as much as I want since she now only models for other sites who don't mind the marks. This of course, for me, is all good.

Since Pleasure is my property I go with her to all of her shoots. It is my responsibility to make sure that she is safe and unharmed, well unreasonably harmed, might be a better way of putting that. Naturally some photographers get really upset when she tells them that she is coming with an escort, and I do not allow her shoot with anyone who objects to my being with her. Due to the extreme situations that bondage modeling requires I see no reason not to be there to protect the well being of my property.

Pleasure is the website designer, webslave (webmaster), and main bottom of our site. I felt my role on the site was very minimal, more of a sounding board then anything else. Pleasure has informed me differently. She says "there would not be a lifestyle Master and slave site without Me." And when I think about it she is right. I am the main "Top", and the photographer. At first it was very hard to do. As you know a scene takes a lot of energy and focus. I had to learn how to add taking photos to those tasks.

I have also had to work on my rope skills. I have had to look at bondage as an art form rather then just bondage to keep it interesting for the members. Although Pleasure could be bound by my words alone the members would not find that as nice to look at as Pleasure all bound in rope. There are still things that we hope to add to the site as my comfort level and skills progresses. Some of our rougher play goes totally unseen because it is so hard to take pictures, video, and to keep Pleasure safe all at once.

There have been times when I have been very concerned as to whether I would be able to get her out of a tie safely. The first suspension I did with Pleasure alone was one of those times. She started standing, I added the chest harness for support and as the main suspension point I brought her legs up and frog tied them. It was like she was kneeling in mid air. What I hadn't anticipated was that her legs were going to go to sleep and she would be absolutely no help to me getting her down. I can't remember now how I managed to get her down but I did it without any harm to my most precious piece.

We have been fortunate that our lifestyle is our web site and our business. The rules that Pleasure lives by at home apply for everything even modeling for other producers. Her main concern is to see that my property is not damaged in any way.

Pleasure is a natural submissive and when we go to events such as Bondcon I have to push her to promote herself. This is the one thing that I have found to be very hard for her. I feel that other models, producers and photographers are there to see and talk with her so I stay in the background, she is used to having me in the foreground at all times. This is also one of the times I feel like I am crossing the line between consent and non-consent, but it is what she needs to do to survive in this business so I push her hard, even though she feels as though she is not acting as my slave by being the center of attention.
