"It just happened that the owner is a friend of mine, and when we were talking
about the club one day, I thought being a mistress might be a bit of fun,"
Nakamura tells Shukan Shincho. "I really enjoy cosplay and I've been wanting to
dress up in that bondage gear for ages."
Nakamura carries a whip as one of the tools of the trade, but making it crack
isn't as easy as it seems, and she'll need a bit of practice before she can
whip herself -- and her customers -- into shape.
"It's really hard to whip the exact point that you want to hit. And you need to
have incredibly strong arms," she says. "You would need to do some training
every day to make sure you've got enough strength to keep whipping. My arms get
too sore to keep going for a full shift."
Shukan Shincho reports "S&M is not about taunts and being taunted as it's
not really a world that thrives without love. Looking at shows and other clubs,
you can really see a lot of love on display at times. Between mistresses and
their slaves. When you see these scenes, it can actually be quite moving,"
Nakamura tells Shukan Shincho. "The world has this cruel and inhumane thing
called bullying. This is really bullying without love. But if you add love to
that brutalizing, then it develops into a deep erotic sense. That's what I
think is the most wonderful part of S&M."
