The Hidden Risks of Being a Dominatrix

Being a Dominatrix is not only fantasy, performance, and power. It also means navigating stigma, privacy, censorship, legal risk, and systems that often misunderstand adult work. Gemma and Seraphyna talk about sex work laws, online surveillance, platform censorship, safety, identity, and the political forces shaping BDSM, FemDom, adult content, and the lives of those who work close to taboo. From bank account shutdowns to AI face scans, legal grey zones, and moral panic, this conversation looks at what happens when desire is regulated by people who rarely understand it. Beneath the politics is a deeper power question: who gets protected, who gets punished, and who pays when the law gets it wrong? — Subscribe on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts. — References: https://www.dommedpodcast.com/resources/seasonone  Connect: https://dommedpodcast.com Gemma Li: https://mistressgemmali.com Seraphyna: https://theseraphyna.com  — CHAPTERS: 00:00 – Welcome to DOMMED Podcast 00:25 – Sex work and the world 01:32 – What is sex work? 02:22 – The legal frameworks of sex work 08:00 – SESTA/FOSTA: US law and adult content 10:02 – Oklahoma’s proposed ban on porn 11:06 – The executive order on gender 12:46 – Back to the past: Legalizing discrimination 14:44 – How laws decide the legality of BDSM practices 16:04 – International models: Belgium and NZ 16:50 – International models: Germany, Switzerland, UK 19:03 – The Nordic Model: Norway, Sweden, Ireland 21:22 – How tech and AI can make sex work unsafe 23:01 – Digital safety and privacy in sex work 28:28 – Outro
