Mistrix Salem X (all pronouns) is a professional Dominatrix and Shibari practitioner based in NYC.

Working in the industry since 2018, they started learning to tie in 2021. Mistrix Salem quickly fell in love with the connective, grounding, and adaptive nature of rope. They believe rope is for every body regardless of size or dis/ability. As a Dominatrix they hold true to the same principles—a session with them is an opportunity to explore both lofty fantasy and deep presence in the body in an informed, consensual, and non-judgmental space.

As a sensual sadist, Mistrix Salem's style as a Dominant juxtaposes softness and challenge, sensuality and sadism. They craft an environment wherein one can explore their edges, with the promise of a soft landing. As a seasoned lifestyle and professional player, they know how to create a memorable and unique experience while holding space for the complexities of each individual's desires and limits. Their skillset spans a wide range of kinks/fetishes, from semenawa-style rope, to singletail whip throwing, to CBT, wax play, sharps, and more. They draw expertise from a wide range of sources—intensives, classes, private lessons, and skillsharing with experienced SWers and Leather community. A lifelong learner, Mistrix Salem is constantly working to improve their skills across different disciplines within BDSM.

Mistrix Salem has garnered attention nationally and internationally for their Shibari performances. In NYC, they’ve performed and house-topped at events like House of Love, City of Gods, Feral, Bruise, and SuciaQueer. In September 2024 they performed at Folsom Street Fair and Twisted Windows in San Francisco. In February 2025, they reprised their Twisted Windows performance for Karada House’s virtual Queerope. They remain available for performance, demo, and house top bookings throughout the year.

In addition to offering private rope suspension sessions, Mistrix Salem teaches rope in both classes and private/small group lessons. Their approach to rope education emphasizes risk awareness, consent, and tying in a way that feels organic and specific rather than prescribed and pattern-based. They are available to provide rope, rigging, and/or consultation for a variety of projects from editorial shoots and music videos to content collaboration with other SWers.

FAQ

I've never seen a provider. What should I expect?
Expect a life-changing experience! Whether you are a newbie or more seasoned, seeing a provider is an amazing way to access intimate experiences with someone you can trust. Providers have a combination of hard and soft skills that equip them to create a safe(r) container for you to explore your eroticism. Be prepared to negotiate what will take place during our session. The more honest you are about what you want, the more likely you are to really enjoy our time together. Otherwise, just be yourself and be respectful. You will get the most out of the experience if you fully lean in.
What is your cancellation policy?
Deposits are non-refundable unless I cancel. You may reschedule with the same deposit, provided you give at least 48 hours notice. Cancellations/reschedules within 48 hours forfeit your deposit. No-call no-shows will not be able to book Me again. Repeat cancellations or reschedules may result in a 50% deposit for future sessions.
Are you available outside of NYC?
Yes! I announce tours via my newsletter and socials, and am often available for sessions and lessons during. If you want to book me while on tour, send an email and include your city in the subject line. (If *you* are planning to visit NYC from out of state or outside the country, I accept bookings for privates up to 3 months in advance.) I am also available for F/TMTY sessions. Bookings must be for 6 hours minimum (or multiple shorter sessions over a few days). This involves a 50% deposit plus covering my transportation and accommodations. I also travel to perform and to teach at rope studios. Email to inquire about my class offerings and/or performance rates.
Does Shibari hurt?
Yes and no! There are many ways to tie. Sensually, firmly, slowly, frantically... So a session does not have to include pain or intensity from the ropes, and this is easily achieved by sticking to floor-based ties. Suspension, however, always involves some level of discomfort or pain as your body first sinks into the ropes, but you get used to it over time. If you've ever done aerial, pole dancing, or used certain gym equipment, it's similar to that. As a sensual sadist, I find the tension between the pleasure and pain of rope to be an exciting and fertile ground for exploration and self discovery. Processing an intense tie can be a deeply grounding experience, and I encourage folks to explore that if interested. I also have a lot of experience tying people who have never been tied before. I negotiate heavily about the risks of rope, and make sure that we are aligned in our desires for the energy and scope of our tie before we begin.
What is the difference between a "Shibari session", a "Domination session" that includes rope, and a "Femdom Shibari" session? Why are the hourly rates and minimum booking times different?
Shibari sessions are focused almost entirely on creating an experience for you in rope. There is an inherent power exchange between us, as one of us is bound and the other is not, but I am not inhabiting the headspace of Femdom, incorporating explicit D/s dynamics, or employing its conventions (protocol, honorifics, fetish gear). A shibari session might contain other elements of BDSM (humiliation, cnc, breathplay, T&D, some impact, etc.) but they are used sparingly as an accessory to the main focus: rope bondage. The session itself and our interactions will be fairly informal. Domination sessions, on the flip side, are often all about the atmosphere and dynamic, and can incorporate a wide range of fetishes. This requires much more preparation and planning on my end, and requires me to employ many more of my skills than a session strictly centering rope. I wear my fetish gear, latex, or lingerie, I clean and do maintenance on toys and implements, I choose a playlist and write an outline of the scene. I am also often paying a higher rate for the rental space. Thus my hourly rate here is higher. As far as booking minimums, Domme sessions start at 1 hour. They involve more negotiation in advance so that I know what to plan/pack, which in turn means that less time is spent chatting at the start of our session together. One hour is a healthy amount of time for a brief check in, a satisfying and well-paced scene, and aftercare. Because floor ties are quick and much less risky than suspension, they can easily be incorporated into an hour-long Domination session. Although I love a longer session as well so we can really dive deep together! Shibari sessions have a two hour minimum due to the amount of time needed to discuss risks of suspension and negotiate, and the fact that learning about your body and how it moves in and reacts to rope is a slow process. You may have an idea for our session in advance, but what we do will ultimately depend on how your body feels *that day*, so it's more of an improvisational process. I also like to leave a larger chunk of time at the end of the session for aftercare, as some folks might need more aftercare time for suspension compared to other types of play. Two hours is enough + breathing room, so we can go at whatever pace feels right. Domination and Shibari suspension can of course be combined, and I LOVE doing these types of sessions! I have a special two hour rate for submissives who want to experience rope suspension with all the frills and atmosphere of a Femdom scene.

Miss Stevie

As a lifelong kinkster with a sharpened edge of sadism, I have always reveled in the thrill of dismantling egos and commanding desire. My unyielding drive has taken me from the playground battles of my youth to the heights of architecture and tech careers, ultimately leading to the pulsating underbelly of New York's BDSM scene. I entered the BDSM world as a submissive, mastering the depths of catharsis and control dynamics firsthand. This foundation ignited my passion, blending my background in the performing arts and design to orchestrate scenes that are as artistic as they are perverse. Since starting as a pro, Rope has become my signature obsession – a tool for binding bodies and submissive minds in need of control. Through the studios of rope artists worldwide and back to my own rig in NYC, I have blended the styles of a diverse variety of international instructors. My style of rope is not only informed by my dominatrix background, but also through my special interest in somatics. As a rope top that stands at 5’1” (155cm) I have learned to maneuver and manipulate bodies over twice my size. I dont need size to hold power just precision, pressure and purpose....

Julia Flowerbomb

Hello, darling. I'm Julia Flowerbomb, professional dominant, kinky companion, and curator of erotic experiences based in New York City. With a background in dance and the performing arts, I combine my extensive knowledge of the human body and the art of scene craft to devise transformative sensual experiences for my clients. A a practicing sadomasochist in both my personal and professional life, one could say I have an obsession with the taboo and the pursuit of eroticism, described by noted psychotherapist Esther Perel as "an elixir of vibrancy, curiosity, and spontaneity that makes us feel alive". I'm passionate about providing a non-judgmental, supportive space where my clients feel empowered to explore their curiosities, find their edges, and chart their inner erotic landscapes. Together we'll decide what kinks you'd like to explore and collaborate on a scene together from there. Perversions, fears, freaky desires-- all are welcome at my party. Sessions will always begin with a negotiation: a discussion of one’s interests, limits, and the safeword. If the idea of talking about sex, desire, or your body with a total stranger feels paralyzing, don't panic. I'm extremely practiced at getting you out of your head and out of your comfort zone. Consent is at the forefront of what I do. My consent practices are heavily informed by Dr. Betty Martin’s Wheel of Consent. I identify as queer and welcome clients of all gender expressions, sexualities, and experience levels....

I graduated with my Master’s in Counseling in Mental Health and Wellness and a dual degree in LGBT Health, Education, and Social Services from New York University. I also hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology with a background in Women and Gender Studies from George Mason University. I identify as a queer South Asian immigrant woman. I’m also neurodivergent and non-monogamous. Aside from being a therapist, I have volunteered as a crisis counselor for the Trevor Project, worked as a graduate assistant for the New York University LGBTQ+ Center, and helped in the planning of social justice conferences. I approach therapy with the intention to understand and connect with my clients as fellow humans. My own journey as a queer South Asian neurodivergent woman, along with the experiences of those close to me, deeply shape my approach. Building a genuine relationship with my clients is my top priority, as I believe it is the biggest predictor of therapeutic success. As a person of color, I actively challenge oppressive structures that have long been dominated by Western white culture. Jiddu Krishnamurti said that it is no measure of health to be adjusted to a society that is profoundly sick and I do not see therapy as a way to numb the pain that is caused by systemic oppression but rather a way to empower clients to have compassion for themselves....

I’m Dr. Resa, an intimacy and embodiment educator with a background that blends lived experience, academic study, and years of guiding people toward deeper confidence in themselves. My journey has been anything but traditional. I began my professional life in environments where the body, performance, and presence were central, experiences that taught me firsthand about boundaries, power, and the complex ways people relate to desire and connection. Over time, that curiosity became a path of study and exploration. I pursued advanced education focused on human sexuality, communication, and embodiment. My work today centers on helping people understand their relationship with their bodies, their confidence, and their personal boundaries. I believe intimacy begins with self-awareness, honesty, and a sense of safety within oneself. Safety, consent, and respect are the foundation of everything I do. I encourage open communication, emotional awareness, and personal responsibility in any interaction. Everyone deserves spaces where they feel respected, heard, and comfortable expressing themselves without pressure or judgment. My approach is grounded in curiosity, compassion, and the belief that confidence and connection grow when people feel safe enough to be themselves....

Maxine Dreams

Hello, I'm Maxine! I'm a romantic hedonist and artist with a love for deep connection and all things erotic. I'm driven by a desire to dive into the deep sexual arts and create memorable experiences. Are you finally wanting a specific fantasy to come true? Do you want a customized erotic ritual that is all about pleasure and connection? Are you curious to experience submission? Do you want to learn new techniques to share with your lovers? I can support you with all of this! After working in the creative technology field, I decided to commit to the erotic arts, inspired by my own artistic practice which was becoming quite erotic and the sexual exploration I was lucky to experience in my early 20s. I am also trained as a sex coach, somatic practitioner, and energy worker. I have over six years of experience as an erotic bodyworker and three years of experience as pro-domme. However, these to me are more than just professions, but also a lifestyle. I live and breathe sensuality. My dominance is subtle at first. I am deeply inquisitive and confident, as I gather details on who exactly is within my presence. I deeply crave and desire your submission through intentional power play or the kind that arrives from your submitting to your desires that you have in trusted me with. I weave passion and power into every encounter. I seek to enchant and elevate someone who is ready to be molded into a perfect devotee and perfect version of themselves. You will become my favorite work of art. My scenes are meticulously tailored and I desire to truly connect with all those I meet, which is why I cherish the long-term relationships that can develop over time. My attention is the ultimate act of love, and with me, no part of you will be left untouched....
