(BALI / April 14, 2020) — Eva Oh, aka Mistress Eva, has written a revealing article for lifestyle site The Daily Beast about the increasing popularity of her at-home BDSM training courses at YouWillPleaseMe.com amid the worldwide coronavirus pandemic lockdown.

In the new piece, ‘A Dominatrix on the Surge in BDSM During Coronavirus’, the lifestyle domme writes that “the world of BDSM, fetishes, and power dynamics are a comfort for many in the best of times. So, it isn’t surprising to see people moving toward websites and services such as mine in times where they seek even greater levels of reassurance, understanding and intimacy.”

Oh’s online program, which she custom-designed and developed herself, is a gamified courseware-led space, with video tasks, badges and features that include a unique points system “that translates to real-world benefits and experiences with me that have included a night at the opera, assisting me on photoshoots and accompanying me to fetish parties.”

The Bali-based Oh, who co-hosts the Safeword Podcast and shares her knowledge as a speaker/educator for sexuality workshops, also adds that many people, including her intimate pool of submissives, have felt more stressed, vulnerable and helpless during these uncertain times – and are reaching out for a comforting space.

“When news of COVID-19 first hit me, I reacted like many of us may have: I thought about my family and my personal safety. I felt an uneasy uncertainty about what was to come. But as my Dominatrix side kicked in, my fetishes for latex hoods, imprisoning others, and mummification (where you literally wrap someone up in different materials like an Egyptian mummy) started to titillate and perhaps distract my mind.

“Those who are new to me are spending a lot of time logged in to my BDSM training site, and the dedicated ways that they are completing their courses and tasks is endearing… but among those who I’ve known for longer and on a deeper level, I see how their usual desires have acquired an added intensity, and their need for my support in the events of their lives is elevated.

“Their particular kinks—be it for latex, anal play, or chastity—haven’t shifted but they’ve had to become more virtually-administered, and I predict that 2021 is going to be quite an exhaustingly pleasurable year for us.”
