# The journal of a London _dominatrix_

This journal is my dominatrix blog, with plain answers to the questions I am asked most often: what the words of BDSM and femdom mean, how to approach a dominatrix, how safety works and what each kind of session involves. Every entry is written by me, Mistress Charlotte O’Winter, from my own practice in London, and leads to the session pages where you can go further.
