New to the list but long time player.  I love the feel of nails tickling my armpits, tourturing  me into submission.... but...

From what I have heard, you cannot even get into the Fortress without giving them an ID, then they take your phone and search your bags if you have any. Then when you are finally in the room with the girl they have you on camera the entire time through a hole in a parasol in the ceiling.  I heard this from a very reliable source, but I'm wondering if any of you have had the same experience?

I have a bit of a high profile job and can't risk pictures or videos of me ending up on the internet.  You never know what happens to things on camera.  Do you guys have any info?  I would love to play, but it's not worth the risk if any of this is true. I don't want to have to go through the entire process of booking a session just to have to cancel it.

Please post any information you may have that may help me!

If you don't like the Fetish Fortress's practices, there are tons of other options in New York. Just search the reviews on this board for BDSM providers and you'll find many well reviewed providers offering the services you seek.

Not quite

We do check IDs for the protection of ourselves, and our guests- if this is an issue then by all means there are several independents who can accommodate you. We sincerely regret the loss of your business, but it is an integral part of our screening process.

We do not, and have never searched bags. We do however request that you place your cellphone in a supplied RF shielded pouch as a precaution against spyware that might otherwise allow for spouses, employers etc to listen in remotely without your knowledge.

There are no cameras in the playrooms. If you mention your concern when you make an appointment we will be happy to arrange for you to have a full hour, unbilled prior to your session to thoroughly search to your satisfaction. You are welcome to use any RF or optical detection equipment you need to do this.

The only exception to the camera rule is that under certain circumstances we permit guest to record their sessions for later enjoyment. In that case, the camera would be in your possession, and operated by you at all times.

If you have further questions and we still have a chance at winning you over, kindly discuss your concerns with either me (Jessy Kang) or Mistresses Jung or Ree via email, chat or on the phone. For obvious reasons Security and Intake procedures are not really something I like to discuss in great detail in an open forum, but we pride ourselves on our nearly fanatical customer service and would be delighted to do everything in our power to accommodate you.
