by Xena Romanova (Author)
Xena: Life as a Dominatrix is a story spanning almost 20 years. It chronicles my personal challenges that I have endured: past abuse, depression, relationships, and family issues. Essentially, the ability to balance the fantasy with the reality of living this lifestyle. Xena: Life as a Dominatrix was therapeutic to write. It helped me deal with my own past personal struggles. It’s the journal of early childhood to my present day. My story offers insight into the realm of BDSM; offering exploration on human sexuality, fetishes, and the exciting world of BDSM. Some people have a negative viewpoint on the BDSM world and yet, we’re all freaks of nature. Each one of us is turned on by different fetishes and desires.

From dungeon parties to one-on-one sessions, Mistress Xena details her incredible experiences over the past 20 years working as a dom in Chicago and NYC. A queen of the underground, Xena has truly seen it all- the good, the bad, the kinky, and occasionally the dangerous. A great book for Gen Xers who want to re-live the glory days of dungeon and fetish parties in the age of sexual freedom and experimentation, or for young people who are curious about the alternative scene. Xena also talks about her battle with depression, navigating childhood trauma, relationships and important life events. She writes with candor and punctuates her anecdotes with a refreshing humor. Recommend for anyone wanting an authentic glimpse into the world of sex work and BDSM.
