Belle De Jour

Screen 3 of 14

Dominant women from around New York (and eventually the World) would do D&S demonstrations on stage, complete with live music. The place became known as “Belle De Jour”. Belle’s success of combining FemDom女性支配 — female domination with Art was such a success that some of the local colleges actually visited, such as the NYU Art department.

But Belle’s establishment was not merely for show. Submissive顺从 — willing to obey men would attend the live performances and if they were interested, they could afterwards have lives sessions with one of Belle’s Female Dominants in the dungeon area. Belle had such intense bondage捆绑 — being tied or restrained furniture as a Stretch Rack, a Catherine’s Wheel, a Suspension sling , and even a Bed of Nails. Males could experience mild or very intense domination at the hands Belle and the other Mistresses女主人 — a woman who leads a submissive partner. Men could even be used as toilet slaves奴隶 — a person kept in total obedience (golden showers黄金浴 — peeing on a partner only) at Belle’s establishment.

“Belle De Jour” the theater/dungeon obtained world wide acclaim within the Fetish恋物 — a strong sexual focus on one thing, FemDom女性支配 — female domination and S&M communities. In fact, the dungeon Belle De Jour became so well known that many visitors did not know that in fact Belle De Jour was the name of the woman who founded the place. People would say “let’s visit Belle De Jour” much in the same way people in NYC would later say “let’s visit The Vault”.
