Our Privacy: My Choice
A recurring question and critique aimed at our endeavors here at FemdomU Magazine is whether we’re simply “hiding” behind the veil of anonymity provided by our names and avatars. Some argue that by not presenting ourselves as our authentic selves, we risk undermining our credibility. In this letter, I aim to directly address and dispel this misconception.
Our Online Privacy was My First Priority and My Choice
First and foremost, when I opted to transition our operations entirely to an online platform, safeguarding a level of privacy was a deliberate choice and a paramount concern. It’s not driven by fear of exposure or judgment but stems from my personal conviction, a decision I felt fully empowered to make. Undoubtedly, being of a certain generation, where oversharing on social media isn’t the norm, has influenced my stance. Additionally, other factors outlined below also factored into this choice.
Ultimately, my commitment to maintaining a degree of privacy in this venture felt like the most prudent course of action. Drawing upon a lifetime of trusting my instincts, I arrived at this decision confidently and without reservation.
My Vanilla Business Interests
I admit, I have a lot of conventional business ventures that bring in a substantial income. This allows me the freedom to indulge in my less lucrative, but much more enjoyable pursuits. I am not secretive about who I am, but I also do not openly display my lifestyle to those who may not understand. Discretion has always served me well.
My Clients Expect Complete Anonymity
One of my top priorities as a dominatrix is to maintain discretion for my private clients. Many of these men lead public lives, high-level careers, but they also have secret desires that their friends, families, and colleagues may not understand or accept. From the beginning of my career, I made it a personal mission to protect these men who submit to me, giving them a safe space to fully experience their submission. Their trust in me to keep them protected while I dominate them is paramount, and I will always prioritize preserving that trust.
I’m Semi-Retired
I’ve come to a stage in my career where I’m ready to take a break and put up the ‘gone-fishing’ sign on the office door. I now only meet with my established clients, and I am not actively seeking new ones or trying to expand my business. In other words, there is no need for me to market myself, and I have no desire to do so at this point in my career.
My Experience with a Stalker
During our time of publishing a print magazine, I was followed by a dangerously unstable young man. While we were traveling in Europe to promote the magazine and our Femdom Auctions, this individual became fixated on me. Someone very close to me was harmed because of their actions, but thanks to the intervention of a kind stranger, things did not end up worse. Although this experience has not left me living in fear, it has reminded me to be cautious about how I present myself to the public and has made me grateful for my ability to control my privacy.
My Team Has Their Own Reasons
I presented my team with the option of either using anonymous avatars or their own photos and identities. Each member had their own reasons for choosing to protect their privacy in this pursuit. In their personal lives, they preferred to keep their involvement with FemdomU Magazine exclusive, only shared with those they trust. As they continue to share their stories, I anticipate that they will divulge more about these reasons. For duckie, I made the decision to use an anonymous avatar, just as I did for myself.
Contributors Have The Option To Remain Anonymous OR Promote Themselves
Our aim is to amplify the voices of individuals within the Femdom community, and they will have the choice to remain anonymous or choose to be in the public eye as we feature them. We understand that many of our readers would prefer to stay anonymous when sharing their experiences with domination and submission, and this will help us curate a diverse range of femdom content. However, we also recognize there are those who wish to connect directly with our community and share their online persona. As we bring you more interviews and guest posts from professionals in the industry, we will provide real photos and links to their social media or websites, if desired.
