As I write this, I’m en route to a rather fabulous hotel in West London, where I’ll be spanking two charming chaps, both of whom have booked me because I’m so old. Men do love a mature bird. When I entered the sex industry aged 19, I liked to torture myself with worry about what on earth I’d do when I ‘got old’ – which I imagined would happen at around 26.
Now 48, I’m earning more as a dominatrix than I’ve ever earned in my nearly 30 years of sex work. There are fewer women my age working, so we fortunate few are much more in demand. Wrinkles, crows’ feet, sagging jowls and age spots are all de rigueur in the world of porn.
When my mum was made redundant in her early sixties, she turned her hand, slipper and belt to beating naughty bottoms and soon discoveredthere were many more eager customers than she had the time or strength to discipline. Most spankos are over 45, so they want an older woman, with natural authority and gravitas to put them in their place. I flew to Texas recently, to attend the Lone Star spanking party – where 500 people huddle into one mid-range hotel for a long weekend of bottom slapping – and the women who were busiest were all in their sixties.
The party host, Samantha, is 69, and specialises in spanking other women. Dawn, dusk and long beyond, she spanked bottom after bottom, for films and sessions, tucking dollars into her well-stuffed bra before skipping to the next room to start again. But it’s not just in domination that older women earn a pile: mature models – needed for stills and video for porn or commercial use – are in short supply too. There are dozens of websites and magazines devoted to us. ‘MILFs’ is inevitably in the top three most searched for terms on Pornhub. Not teen, not Bonnie Blue’s favourite phrase of ‘barely legal’, but MILF!.
