A Professional Mistress will normally have an extensive wardrobe of fetish uniforms, shiny pvc and leather boots and shoes suitable for a mistress, a well equipped permanent dungeon, many instruments enabling the mistress to give pain or pleasure and most of all the UK Mistress will be of a mindset that enables her to communicate and enact psychodrama scenes of endless variety.
UK Mistresses such as Mistress Dominatrix are able to switch mood in an instant and always know exactly when a submissive should be punished by the mistress or be given some reassurance by the comforting mistress. Good UK Mistress role play specialists are very few and far between and this must be partly because there is an overlap between the escort world and the domination world of a real UK Mistress and many escorts feel they can simply pick up a whip and dress in mistress fetish uniforms and suddenly overnight they have become a real mistress. Unfortunately to compare an inexperienced escort to a real lifestyle mistress nothing could be further from the truth. This is not to knock escort mistresses at all because there are some high profile ones who can cope with being a fetish escort as well as a dominant mistress but the general trend for escorts to purport to become mistresses overnight is one which most serious mistress portals such as Max Fisch, DDI, Professional Mistress, UK-Mistresses and others are all rightfully watching very closely, almost as gatekeepers to the dark domain of the genuine mistress.
Without doubt, when a mistress decides to offer domination services and maybe really become a lifestyle mistress she cannot sensibly be working in massage parlours or brothels with other girls and one minute be opening her legs for a quick ten minute fuck and the next minute holding a whip and pretending to be a serious mistress (I am not making a judgement but others will do). Rightly or wrongly it doesn't really work like this for an escort to try and be in both camps and it is certainly frowned upon by the mistress fraternity and by the mistress portals and serious mistress and domination magazines.
Knowing and speaking with many escorts and mistresses confirms it is very difficult to be given training by a real mistress it is also potentially very dangerous for an escort to try and become a mistress without any real mistress training. Most of the domination good mistresses do in their sessions involve some very serious trust between the mistress and the submissive in both a physical and a psychological way. The last thing any good mistress really wants to do is harm her submissive permanently in any way. Admittedly some long term submissives like to be branded and carry the mark of the mistress but this is pretty rare and not done lightly.
