'Echt heel erg jammer'
Life's one and only true lesson: love over lust. Any time, any place, anywhere

Throughout history the Netherlands always punched far above its weight. It still does, vanilla world speaking that is. Our economy is much larger than the size of the population, land areal of whatever might suggest. Same with tech, think ASML, the only company in the world that produces machines essential for making the latest computer chips. But when it comes to discovering kink in a safe, sane and friendly environment, it's a different story altogether.
Like I argued before there is nothing wrong with visiting a professional dominatrix. Au contraire, your first visit will most likely be a wake up call. For most it goes something like this: what took me so long? The not so lucky few discover pain and submission are not for them. The hard way. Either way, congratulations, if you can, follow your passions its the only way to live.
However, before you visit a professional dominatrix it might be wise to see if her skills and your interests align. Would be a shame if you never got seduced by the Dark Side just because you didn't do your homework. Of course a pro-domme is a pro so there is some flexibility when it comes to areas of interest but overall, be smart and find out beforehand. The most horrible thing that can happen to any slave is to turn their back on femdom forever because of that first session.
Sadly, over the years, many well-known, highly regarded professional dominatrices and dungeons have disappeared. To say we're spoiled for choice in 2025 is a stretch, a big one. Especially when you're not the perfect slave, take me for instance. If I were to book a session right now, I wouldn't know who to call. Doesn't mean there are no great dommes in the Netherlands, it's just hard to connect with the right one.

More bad news is on the way. A while back I read about Domination Palace, a large dungeon in the southern part of the Netherlands, close to the Belgian border, that is closing down. The owner ran Domination Palace for some 30 years. Now in his early seventies, Paul has been diagnosed with cancer. Battling the disease takes all his energy, which has forced Paul to close down the dungeon after over some 10.000 visitors. That decision not only impacts Paul, the clients of Domination Palace but also the dommes who work there. I've never visited the place but it makes me truly sad to see a safe haven, another icon of professional female domination in the Netherlands, disappear.
Immunotherapy has revolutionized cancer treatment for at least the last ten years. Definitely not a miracle cure but it has massively enlarged oncologists' toolboxes all around the world. Yes, cancer is still often a fatal disease, but not as frequent as it used to be because of immunotherapy offering a glimpse of hope. I know of several people, all stages in life, who did recover from cancer. It's definitely not a given, but at least you have a fighting chance.
My heart goes out to Paul, owner of Domination Palace, and everyone who is fighting cancer, wishing you strength, courage and all the best.
Notes
[1] Let's talk statistics. One in three people get diagnosed with cancer somewhere in their lives.
[2] Remember Coral Korrupt? Corall was an American pro-domme who passed away from cancer some years ago. Despite being a well-known domme she had to start a Go Fund Me campaign for her medical treatment. Luckily in the Netherlands, like many countries, health care is universal. We all pay a fixed monthly amount for health insurance which, in return, covers all your bills in case you get ill. Those below the poverty line get compensated by the government. When it comes to your health, or that of your kids - in a fair and just society - money shouldn't be the final arbiter of who lives and who dies.
