INTRODUCTION:
Growing up in Los Angeles, I could tell that the city was a lot more open and accepting of sexual differences just by walking around. An afternoon on Venice beach will open your eyes to world not only full of beautiful people of different orientations, but of different kinks and fantasies as well. And while seeing a lot of it with my own eyes (and you know, the internet helped, too) certainly made me accept early on the fact that everyone has different turn on, it took me quite a while until I took my own steps into the BDSM community.
I played a passive role, actually, simply attending a birthday event of a quirky friend of mine that just happened to be held at Dungeon West a BDSM studio space that anyone can rent. I was shocked and excited at the crazy amount of sex toys they had lined up against the wall, as well as all the cages, slings, and other weird pieces of fetish furniture, and I was even more surprised when the dominatrix they hired began playfully tying people up to them. Not only was it a great party, but it opened my mind desires I never thought possible!

ABOUT:
The event space of Dungeon West shows just how popular the world of BDSM has become, not just in Los Angeles, but across the world. It is the second location in LA that head mistress Justine Cross owns (the other being Dungeon East, near downtown), and there is another fetish space ten minutes away. Dungeon West does things a little differently, however, in the sense that you cannot simply show up and book an immediate appointment with a dominatrix (or dom, for short) and starting getting spanked silly ten minutes later. Instead, you call (or email) ahead and book the entire space yourself. If you want to host it for your own session and you don't have a professional dom, sub, or switch lined up, you have to mention on the phone (or email) that you would like a dom to be present, and they will go through the trouble of finding one for you.
In this sense, this truly is a DIY BDSM space, and it is one of the most cleanest, and best set up ones I've ever seen. There's a simple lobby area, the massive play area with a huge selection of filthy furniture (like a st andrews cross, a bondage bed) and accessories (so many whips and hoods and leashes and things I don't even know how they are supposed to be used). On top of this, if you want to rent the space overnight, there is a small apartment area, with a normal bed, a kitchenette, a large bathroom and even laundry (since they have a pretty good idea of what you're going to get up to in a place like this).
