Mxtress Athénaïs Nin is a wholesomely depraved Dominatrix, Sadist, & Mommy

It was like kissing the darkness. As if the darkness had life, had a shape, had taste, was warm and glib.
— Sarah Waters, Fingersmith

I am a femme deeply in tune with the Erotic—the Erotic suffuses the way I speak, the ways I move, and the ways I show up as a Dominatrix and sadist.

Mommy energy runs through the ichor in my veins. I am, at turns, nurturing, soft, affectionate, and playful; and firm, commanding, and larger than life. I particularly enjoy crafting scenes that evoke that archetypal energy. I strive, in particular, to offer my submissives, my little ones, emotionally transformative experiences. In stark contrast to the unreliable or mercurial caregivers many of us grew up with, I am your secure base, your safe harbor. Even in my sadism and my cruelty, whispering as I grasp your chin between stilettoed fingers, “You are most beautiful in your tears, pet,” my aim is to instruct, to form, and to challenge to bring about thriving.

My name, Athénaïs Nin, humbly and reverentially honors fierce femme lineage, and, in particular, two deeply sensual, erotically-charged women. My last name and my initials honor the great novelist and diarist, Anaïs Nin. My first name, while a bit more obscure, nevertheless has a storied and infamous history of its own. I take as my namesake here Françoise-Athénaïs de Rochechouart de Mortemart, Marquise of Montespan (1640-1707), the great “maîtresse-en-tire” (official mistress) of Louis XIV.

Should you be blessed with my favors, you will likely most often refer to me using my honorific, Mxtress (or, to reference a line from a Janet Jackson song, Dr. Nin, if you’re nasty). But intimates—which you should aspire to be!—call me Athénaïs. A quick French lesson: Athénaïs is pronounced Ah-ten-aye-eese. “Ah” as in “open wide”; ten as in the number; aye as in “Aye, Madame!”; and eese as in geese.

As my names would suggest, I’m a femme with a deeply sensual, fiery, passionate nature. I possess a doctorate in literature (hence the use of the alternative honorific, Doctor), and use that academic background to help me create what Lidia Yuknavitch called “skin stories” with my submissives. I want to bring wild, debauched tales into the world through our scenes; tales that evoke—and invoke—the dark yearnings of your soul.

Allow me to take, as Anaïs writes of one of her heroines, “immense and luxurious detours as [your] courtesan depositor of multiple desires.”

Ready to book with me? Well then what are you waiting for? As one of my Mommy roots would say, “Spit spot!”
