a little break from all of the bondage

Troy @troyorleans.bsky.social · 1d

I’m mostly a leather gal but sometimes I like a bit of lace too.

Let’s hang out this weekend

Troy @troyorleans.bsky.social · 5d

If I had you in a room alone with me I have a feeling you would be hooked.

What’s your fave posish?

Troy @troyorleans.bsky.social · 7d

Bondage. Corporal. Edge Play. Since 2004

Just throwing on straps every which way but loose!

OMG

You are a visionary! I love your self-control in this video. After the first crack I’d have been stomping all over place!

What do you think happened next?

I do love a pair of heels with a red bottom!

Happy Locktober to all those who observe!

Tell them you’ll be tied up this evening

I’ve got such incredible gear, a beautiful private studio that’s among the best equipped in NYC, a career’s worth of experience and creativity, and a deep, genuine, abiding love for bondage … not to mention terrific play partners! Instead of jaded, I’ve been feeling more excited to play than ever.

Turned out, there were a few! Lucrative. Stigma-free. Celebrated. Fun, even. Many folks’ dream jobs. And yet I never stopped playing — and never wanted to stop.

Troy @troyorleans.bsky.social · 18d

When I started d*mming 20+ years ago, I thought *for sure* I would have quit doing it by now, certain I’dve grown bored, disenchanted, or there’d eventually be another fascinating career opportunity to pull me away.

“Maybe it’s a positive thing that I still fall for it,” I mused. “Means I’m not too jaded to keep doing this work.”

Troy @troyorleans.bsky.social · 18d

Had a demoralizing experience recently that I should’ve seen coming (because it’s happened before) but I still got suckered. I was commiserating about it with a friend who’d gone through something similar.

I’m not online enough so it took me a minute. Thanks for the chuckle!

I’m going gaga over this domme’s calling card (it’s like a Magic Wand to my vestigial journalism nub 💦 ) www.darlingkiller.nyc

As I toil away at my own website refresh, I’m thinking a lot about what makes a great site. What are your favorite provider websites? Ones that reinvent the form, stand out, are functionally flawless, or have successfully compelled you to book? (Feel free to nominate your own!)

Troy @troyorleans.bsky.social · 29d

Sometimes I look at dommes’ gear wishlists and I just wanna tell them: Noooo! Don’t ask for that. It’s a shit piece of gear/great idea, poor execution/you will NEVER use it after the first time/get it MTM not OTR.

Usually I mind my business. Should I?

Troy @troyorleans.bsky.social · 29d

All of which to say, I’ve been having a fantastic time in the studio lately: creative, sexy, intense, and bondage-heavy. My books are open for October if you’re in the mood to explore. Request via my website, link in bio.

(There is one person I see who requests a specific rigging multiple visits in a row before changing it up after a couple years. Which is hot in its own way, too. When the rigging is on autopilot, my brain and body are free to focus on how hot it all is…)

Troy @troyorleans.bsky.social · 29d

Several of the people I’ve seen recently have remarked on how unique our sessions are from visit to visit — even the ones who’ve been seeing me for 10+ years say we’ve never repeated a session! Kinda proud of that.
