Review: Miss Lydia

General Details

I'm in my third year of seeing Miss Lydia as my favorite (and exclusive) professional dominatrix. I started seeing her when I began regularly traveling to the Chicagoland area. I play privately, but typically as a top, and was looking for a professional with whom I could enjoy subbing and switching, and explore new things. (Note that Miss Lydia herself only switches and subs for selected, experienced players. I have switched her during several extended sessions, and will only say that it was FABULOUS. In deference to her personal privacy, I won't share those experiences here.) I've seen a number of well-regarded ProDoms over the years, in Chicago, NYC, Washington DC, Atlanta and San Francisco. Some have had more elaborate dungeons, or perhaps deeper expertise in one area of BDSM, but Lydia is the first ProDom to connect so well with me that I've stopped exploring other ProDoms. She can play sensually or physically, and get deeply into my head. If I had any complaint it'd only be that now I'd like her to take me much harder, faster and deeper, quickly stripping away more boundaries as well as my physical and emotional control - but I've never been disappointed in a session. The dungeon space is well organized, with several play areas that can be combined if nobody else is in session, in a safe, NW Chicago Loop site. All the normal devices are there, including crosses, bondage tables, benches, cages, suspension, etc. Miss Lydia is extremely safety conscious; everything is sterile, gloves & covers are always used, and she's always checking on her sub's condition. Practices are in place for discretion, ensuring that clients do not come in contact with one another. In terms of personality and physical attractiveness, I've found nothing wanting. Lydia is a young professional and student, with cleverness that shines through. She is refreshingly normal and grounded -- the kind of person I think I'd enjoy as much talking over coffee at Intelligentsia as I do in our play sessions. When playing, she's pretty clearly in a space where she's having fun, enjoying the time whether I'm subbing or she is switching. She is very attractive, and while petite and slim, deceptively strong. For those of you without greater access, I highly recommend spending time with her. When I first visited with Lydia, I only planned explore 2-3 sessions with this very attractive, young ProDom - much as I've visited a few times with various ProDoms through the years. I didn't expect that I'd connect with someone in their very early 20s, but Lydia surprised me (obviously, as we're on year 3). Most recently, I've completely pulled out my limits (excepting certain marks), and we're playing harder. As is with all ProDoms, she engages in no escort-like activities (hence the 7 Performance ranking), but among the ProDoms I've seen she would rank very highly.
