Listen to this episode of Working with guest Conrad:
In New York City’s Lower East Side, there’s a dungeon with whips, swords, and a slave in chains where Conrad, a male dominatrix, carries out his work at his clients’ request. On Working this week, Arun Venugopal talks to Conrad about the impact the RentBoy bust had on his profession, one of the best places to meet clientele, and some safety concerns in the industry. Plus, Conrad discusses how he accidently hurt a few clients.
In a Slate Plus extra, Conrad talks about how he came out as a dominatrix to his parents and how it isn’t always easy to tell people what he does for a living.
