Celebrating Our 20th Year Anniversary

17 Million Visitors Can’t Be Wrong!

Celebrating Our 20th Year Anniversary

Yes, we’re celebrating a huge anniversary. The English Mansion is 20 years old! We opened the site back in March 2004.

The English Mansion is 20 Years Old
The English Mansion is now fully established as Europe’s leading femdom & fetish film site. World renowned for our femdom content: films, POVs, 3DVRs, blog posts, articles, photos, new mistress introductions, fetish news, socials, domina & kinky shopping links… We could go on because The Mansion is so much more than just a website. It’s a real Mansion secreted away in a hidden countryside location. A place where Mistress Sidonia and her fellow dominatrix friends get to use and abuse willing subs. Some Mistress’ refer to it as Femdom Disneyland 😉

The Stately Home of Femdom
So, 20 years later, we now have over 900 hours of high-quality professionally shot femdom & fetish footage. Thousands of original femdom films: fantasy stories & session style footage. And we still update new content everyday! We feature over 100 of the world’s most acclaimed & beautiful dominatrices, introducing many of them to a much larger audience; as hopefully The English Mansion’s stamp of approval comes with a certain kudos.

Mistress Sidonia Supreme Ruler of The English Mansion

Worldwide Renown & Reach
I always joke that I’m the most famous person that no one’s ever heard of. You put my name, ‘Mistress Sidonia’, into Google and get over 2 million responses. If you search ‘The English Mansion’, you get 450 million responses. Okay most of those are probably pirate tube sites stealing our traffic & content 😭, but it does show the worldwide reach and appeal of the English Mansion and its unique femdom content. And well, 17 million visitors can’t be wrong!

We set the standard for high-quality professionally shot HD and 3DVR (Virtual Reality) films, and are still going from strength to strength – not surprising with 20 years experience behind us. In some areas we’ve established what ‘femdom’ film content ‘is’ and helped bring it to a larger mainstream audience. Opening up the world of pervy sex to whole new class of would-be kinksters. Pioneering domestic FLR, FtoM strapon, femdom cuckolding, encouraged bi & kinky sex scenes, which back in the day were rarely filmed kinks but are now firmly fixed as part of the femdom film canon.

Bringing BDSM Out of the Closet
Our soft power mission has been to allow women and men to explore their sexualities in a positive safe way. So let’s cheer together! We’ve helped bring BDSM out of the closet. Trying to disspel all the negativity and ‘Hollywood criminality/horror’ attached to it. Actual scene players know how far from the truth it is. Kink is fun, healthy play for adults; kinksters are highly creative, intelligent and articulate; kinky people are able to explore their sexual desires & thus are less fucked up all round. Seriously, it’s all the Vanilla weirdos you’ve gotta watch out for! 😜

Femdom’s Soft Power
The overarching, salient message is the promotion of women’s rights. Femdom is an important strand in the battle, it empowers women not just in the bedroom. It’s more than a way for them to achieve the sexual pleasure they want from a man. It’s helps hack away at the hackneyed stereotypes about women. We’re on a mission of world domination! Empowering women using the soft power of kink! We’re overthrowing 2000 years of female oppression, of ingrained Christian sex negativity, and the continuing manipulated fear of ‘otherness’.

The English Mistress DVD & Video

A Potted History of The English Mansion
So way back before there were film sites on this newfangled thing called ‘the Internet’ (loading would have been too slow); I set up a website in the ’90s called MissMarchmont.com where I was known as Miss Eve Harper. It focused on classic corporal punishment, featuring articles, interviews, photos and a chat forum. It made money through selling CP equipment; amateur videos via a P.O.Box; and promoting our premium rate Chat Lines.

I was also approached by GwenMedia.com, run by Mistress Isabella Sinclaire & Robert Zak, American producers of the famous high-glam latex  Ivy Manor BDSM DVD series. They wanted to sell an art film I’d made of myself in my dungeon in 1998. A deal brokered by David Jackson of DDI (Domination Direct International Magazine) fame. A black-and-white dreamy piece, with a voice over, it was almost documentary like in its format, managing to capture the real interaction between a Mistress & her slaves. It was titled The English Mistress and they liked it so much, I produced 2 sequels.

By the start of the noughties Kink.com in the US was open for business, the OWK.cz in Europe & LadySonia.com in the UK.

It was time for me to join the party, so decided to set up a classic femdom film site and after the success of the videos in America, I called it TheEnglishDungeon.com, which opened in March 2004.

(Left: Promo before The EnglishDungeon.com opened Dec 2023.)

Soon after, I set up another site LustInLeather.com which focused on my love of leather, boots and gloves. Then another, TrannyTraining.com which focused on Xdressing but quickly decided to amalgamate all the content under one roof. So the website name was changed in September 2005 to TheEnglishMansion.com. This also allowed me to expand focus of the website to encompass other fetish and BDSM content like foot fetish & pony play. And, to play outside of the dungeon in the realm of domestic femdom, Miss Eve Harper, the evil harpy from Miss Marchmont was back. English Mansion members’ are quite familiar my strict domestic alter ego.

Thank You All
So, thank you all for 20 wonderful years of kink & servitude. It’s been an amazing ride, and I hope to continue captivating you with all our exploits inside The English Mansion for many years to come!
And, there’s bonus content for our loyal members & celebrations planned for later in the year.

No Sex Please, We’re Dominatrices

Posted on 19/02/2024 by Mistress Sidonia

No Sex Please, We’re Dominatrices

To fuck, or not to fuck, that is the question?
There’s an age old dispute that’s been ping-ponged round the femdom scene ever since the first domme, pulled on her stiletto boots. Should a dominatrix have sex with her slaves? The resulting barney falls into two unhelpful, reductive camps – hollering “Hell yes!” verse “That’s gross!” at each other.

So should a domina have sex with her slaves? That in itself is a minefield -what is sex? Intercourse, handjobs, reaching orgasm somehow, getting plunged with a strapon, kissing a shoe? So here let’s just focus on actual fucking, ‘carnal knowledge’ – that’s the taboo; the Rubicon that has sundered the femdom scene.

In the past, I’ve been told definitively, that a domme should never have sexual intercourse with a slave. I’m not sure who wrote this ‘rule book’ and certainly have never seen a copy. Personally, it’s a ridiculous supposition. If you think of it the other way around with masters and sub girls, it seems consensual sexual slavery is an exciting and accepted part of those relationships.

Pro Domination & BSDM
Yes, BDSM activities are not synonymous with sex, many do not involve any sexual contact at all. Female domination is a type of erotic play that involves consensual power exchange and control. When done right the sexual/emotional high can be way more intense and overwhelming than vanilla sex or relationships.

I recognize that in the world of commercial domination, sex does not need to be a part of it. A dominatrix-client relationship is a professional one, where boundaries must be set. Both parties must openly communicate and agree levels of physical contact; specific BDSM activities; limits must be set and respected. When I worked as a Prodom, sex was something I didn’t enter into with my clients, but that does not mean it was not an erotic experience. A Mistress/slave relationship is surely more than just a platonic friendship. A consensual power exchange relationship, professional or otherwise, can develop in a mirrad of complex directions. That’s what makes then so unique.

Sexual Submission is *Hot*
For me the act of domination is in itself a sexual one driven by my sexual needs and desires. With my incredible sex drive, I need slaves that can give me a lot of attention. I’ve been privileged to have had 24/7 relationship with male slaves who most certainly were there as my sex slaves. The act of a man giving himself to me, suffering for me and totally submitting himself to my every whim is incredibly lubricious. To humiliate is erotic, to inflict slow sensual pain is erotic, the pure act of owning a slave is in itself extremely erotic.

My personal slaves exist to please me in anyway I choose. To sexually please me anyway I want – that’s my choice and power. Sexual slavery, sexual humiliation and bondage sex all make me super *hot*. Being a dominant Mistress, having slaves is what turns me on, that’s my primary drive for doing it, sex and being pleasured is integral to this. As my good friend Mistress T used to say, “Who wants to have cake and not eat it!”

As a dominant or submissive woman you have agency over your own body, sexuality and desires. In all encounters professional or otherwise, the only rule should be ~ don’t do anything you are uncomfortable with.

The Evolution of the Leather-Clad Dominatrix

Posted on 07/02/2024 by Mistress Sidonia

Valerie Leon in the Revenge of the Pink Panther (1978)

The Evolution of the Leather-Clad Dominatrix

Leather – it’s a unique material, made from an actual skin it offers protection from both the elements and injury; lasting years, it moulds itself to your shape and actually looks better with age…. but how did the modern image of the dominatrix become so firmly associated with leather?

There’s Something About Leather
The utilising of dried animal hides for clothing has been around since the Stone Age but we don’t need to go that far back – the lineage we’re looking at starts a little after WW2,  with the now iconic fashion item the leather jacket.  For both world wars air force pilots wore leather flying outfits for extra protection, often lined with sheepskin to add warmth to combat the extreme cold of the cockpits at altitude.  However, it was the American aviator leather bomber jackets from WW2 that with a little help from Hollywood became the post-war must-have male fashion item.  Leather was now cool.

Leather Bikers
It was also around this time during the ’30s & ’40s that motorcycling made a huge cultural shift, no longer the expensive hobby of tweed wearing toffs, mass production made bikes cheaper and they got faster. The need for protective clothing grew and many bikers turned to the black leather jacket.  In the USA bikers formed clubs made up of those who wanted to challenge the authorities as rebels and social outlaws.  It grew into a subculture pitted against everything straight-laced, commercialised America stood for. Leather was now firmly associated with counter-culture.

In the original American outlaw biker film – The Wild One (1953)
Marlon Brando’s character is asked,
“What are you rebelling against, Johnny?”,
he answers, “Whaddaya got?”

Leather influences on evolution of dominatrix

Leather = Sexy
The prevalence of leather due to the war and bikers alongside its glamorization by Hollywood seems to have brought the possibilities of this special material to the masses and for some its transformative, erotic and fetishistic possibilities.  By the ’40s & ’50s a small number of illegal mail-order ‘art’ photographs – the porn of the day – were being produced in the states. Notably, Charles Guyette 1902-1976 who in 1935 went to prison for sending lewd material in the post, becoming the first martyr in fetish history.

The majority of the earliest material was photos of women in corsets, heels, stockings & suspenders influenced by American burlesque outfits, striptease shows were flourishing at this time; but some of the photos were pure fetish with leather body suits, thigh-high lace-up boots and leather opera gloves.  Plus some light bondage and spanking.  These would hugely influence the next generation – our fetish founding fathers: Irving Klaw, John Willie & Eric Stanton.  Leather was now sexy.

Leather Daddies
Returning to our epoch-making jacket, the biker look was then taken up by another repressed underground group the gay Leather Daddy scene.  It grew up in large cities in the late ’50s – adding cowboy chaps, cop boots and body harnesses, epitomised in the work of Tom of Finland‘s muscle men – attracted to it as an expression of ultra masculinity to combat the mainstream notion that gay men were effeminate.  Leather was fierce and powerful.

In Birmingham, England another subculture was about to get a major make-over, the Heavy Metal music scene in its early years had groups wearing hippyish outfits.  But in 1978, Rob Halford of  Judas Priest strutted out on stage in what could only be described as the full ‘leather daddy look’  leather trousers, jacket, peaked leather cap, studded gauntlets and a whip!  There was some influence from the punk rock scene but Rob Halford was secretly gay, he didn’t come out until 1998.  Thus undoubtedly it was gay fetish leatherwear that went on to be worn by the disenchanted metalhead youths of America & the west – perhaps we just won’t tell them 😉   Leather made you part of a select group.

The Burgeoning ’80s Fetish Scene
So a combination of the full body covering of leather bikers; the figure-hugging fetishistic and sexual nature of the ’50s fetish images; the body harness and ‘open access’ garments of the leather daddy scene; the spiky studs of the metalheads; and a new addition… which would become leather’s bigest rival – rubber! – all fused together and gave birth to the burgeoning ’80s Fetish Scene.

The Leather-Clad Dominatrix

Leather lover Mistress Sidonia

So what is it about leather that makes is so perfect for the female domme – yes there are fetishists who worship it but it’s more than that, we wear if for the power it imbues.  When you pull on that black leather you’re embodying all that history, body armour with a statement – cool, sexy, fierce, powerful, trouble, anti-authority and outside of society… as my good friend Meisterine JzarA used to say, “the superior material.”

I’ve generalized in this article, of course many of these subcultures or activities had been happening underground for years. I’m focusing on when these groups became more formally defined and known to the mainstream.  And the ‘schoolish’ diagrams were intended to be tongue in cheek 🙂
