Jennifer and Artemis Antone

Screen 4 of 6

"After five years of being a professional Dominatrix女支配者 — a dominant woman, I felt as if I'd seen and experienced enough. Everything I was doing seemed to be a repeat of the previous day. I had spoken to other pro Dommes女主人 — a dominant woman who felt that at “burn out” periods it's essential to take a break. I took plenty. I traveled here and there, took some courses, and became a massage按摩 — rubbing the body to ease it therapist. However, when it came time for me to return, I became disgruntled. My reality was, I did enjoy my work, but I never really had the chance to play out my own fantasies, or even figure out what they were. I wasn’t personally involved in the Scene; I was its consort. I needed to find myself."

Much to her mother's dismay, Artemis left the world of professional Domination and became an exotic dancer.

"At first I loved it. It was like a party. There was a lot of cash and a lot of girls to hang out with. My mother was never happy about me stripping or me even posing nude for Leg World. In a lot of ways she is more conservative than people think, especially concerning her daughters."

"On a personal level, I have always had my mothers support, I’m sure she hasn’t always agreed with my professional choices, but she knows that I am my own person. My past relationships with men were often stressed due to my work (I can’t say I had their support). Most of my “personality exploration” has been done on my own. I am very introspective, and what I have found about myself is that I’m most happy when I’m creating."
