Under the auspices of Head Mistress Cyan, one of the most well-respected dominatrixes in Los Angeles, Sanctuary LAX has proven itself a BDSM institution. The highly experienced and diverse staff are well equipped for you kinkiest desires, whether you’re an S&M veteran or complete novice. As the name implies, the studio is a stone’s throw from LAX, which makes it perfect for visitors in town for business… or pleasure. Heck, there are overnight rentals available, too, so it may even be a better option than sleeping in a dingy hotel the next time your flight gets canceled.
The words "dungeon" and "BDSM" can conjure pretty intimidating images if you're new to the scene or aren't familiar with the lingo, but that doesn’t have to be the case. Welcome to the approachable (but not exactly friendly) world of bondage & discipline, dominance & submission, and sadochism & masochism. Participants have many reasons for enjoying BDSM, including the ability to relinquish control in the bedroom, experience complete vulnerability, explore new sexual expressions and escape from reality, among others. Whatever the reason, there are many dungeons throughout L.A. to live out your every fantasy or fetish, with professionals on hand as needed.
Many of L.A.'s dungeons, or "studios," cater to people from all walks of life and all levels of kink experience. You may be surprised to find out how many of them throw regular events and offer educational classes that are open to the public. These can be a great way to learn about, and even participate in, the alternative sex community as a beginner. For those adventurous spirits who frequent sex shops as often as coffee shops and already know what they want, dungeons can be the perfect place to find a professional dominatrix. Many also offer the ability to rent out the entire space, so you and a partner or loved one (or, loved ones, no judgement here) can have an entire night to make use of all the provided BDSM furniture, equipment and toys. Read on to become a true dungeon master—but, you know, the cool, sexy kind.
