Dungeon-Themed Rentals Await in the Most Unlikely Places.
While most people who self-identify as kinky, leather, or into BDSM have a low opinion of Fifty Shades of Grey, its ability to bring the topic of consensual sexual (and non-sexual) eccentricity into the mainstream. This has resulted in a wave of people exploring their daring sides, which means money going into the bank accounts of those willing to provide products or services of interest to new and pre-existing deviants. Perhaps the most sought-after tangible is also the least available: kink-friendly lodging, whether domestic or foreign.
There are a few bed and breakfasts with dungeons throughout the United States. But what about in other parts of the world? Where can a globe-trotting kinkster stay and play without fear of unnecessary drama with the management, staff, other lodgers, or neighbors? Thanks to a tip from ScoopWhoop, pervy tourists can consider a few locations available thanks to AirBnB’s niche rentals.
Since so few native English-speaking Americans are fluent in a second language, let’s focus on three spaces located in countries that at least theoretically speak the mother tongue. The United Kingdom and Australia.
Dungeon Suite by the Sea: For those whose destination is or can be Brighton and Hove, UK, the Brighton Dungeon awaits. A mere five-minute walk from the seaside and Brighton restaurants, host Calandra’s studio is available for couples who seek a private play space packed with loaner bondage equipment, a wall of whips, crops, chains, dungeon furniture, medical room supplies, a St. Andrews cross, a Medieval-themed cell with bars, elegant furnishings, and a tiled bathroom perfect for wet play. The double bed is in a beautifully appointed room with draped walls and a mirror on the ceiling.
With 12 years of hosting pervy guests under her studded garter belt, Calandra knows that special touches can mean a lot to a weary Top and bottom, so linen and towels are included, as is Wi-Fi throughout the space, a kettle, small fridge, coffee maker, dishes and cutlery, microwave, hygiene products, and HDTV with Netflix for those moments in between beatings. A bonus perk is that Calandra and her husband Tim own adult shops Lust! and Taboo. They’re also multi-lingual, speaking English, French, Italian, and Spanish.
Dominatrix with a Spare Bedroom: Not far away in Southwick, UK, a dominatrix who calls herself Wings has a home with a Fetish-Themed Dungeon bedroom available for a day or overnight. A Murphy bed with Egyptian cotton linens means more floor space for play on the spanking bench, pentagram, dancer pole, and other pieces of nearby dungeon furniture. A mini fridge, kettle, and mugs are available for mid-scene refreshment, and those who don’t want a stripper pole interfering with their flogging backswing need only ask and Wings will have it removed. The conservatory contains a leather sling and padded top wooden kennel/milking table.
There’s no need to pack a toy bag because Wings has an assortment of restraints, floggers, spreader bars, collars, gags, and more available for use. Whether the goal of the stay is photos, a three-way, or to get kinky, the lovely and fully stocked en-suite with a view of the dungeon makes a perfect wet room. When it’s time to take a break, there’s a private outdoor seating area where guests can grab a smoke. Those who bring their pets can take a lazy walk in the garden with them. Wi-Fi and board games are available for those who prefer to stay inside. Those hoping to catch sight of Wings will have to hope she’s not busy skateboarding, pole dancing, or performing with an aerial hoop.
Two-Bedroom in the Land Down Under: Located less than an hour away from the central business district of Perth, the capital of West Australia, lies the Kink Corner in Shoalwater. The two-bedroom home provides enough room to do kink and just enjoy the surroundings. Superhost Jasmine insists that the house is “not a dungeon,” although it does include a St. Andrews cross, a set of stocks, a sex sling with ceiling suspension, a Liberator chaise, a massage room, and a cage. What there is not is Wi-Fi, wax play, or smoking inside. Guests who want to use the sling but not the massage table, or the other way around, need only ask Jasmine in advance and she will make it so.
Accommodating as many as four people and available for photo sessions as well as vacations, the main bedroom includes a queen-sized velvet bed with a wall of mirrors, while the second bedroom contains a double bed ideal for restraints. Usually rented by the weekend, the house is expensive, with a full living room, kitchen, spa bath, and exotic backyard with a cast iron clawfoot soaking tub, festive lighting, and an outdoor shower. There’s no need to pack everyone into one car, either, because the driveway accommodates as many as three vehicles.
Those willing or able to go to a country where English is not the dominant language, there are even more possibilities. There’s a spacious loft with a Murphy bed and a 10 pm noise curfew in Milano, Italy called The Kinky House (Golden Whip Studio); a private Luxury Naughty Suite in a nature lodge located in Perpignan, France that serves breakfast and is near castles. It’s also packed with dungeon furniture. If something lighter and more modern with outdoor green space is more interesting, there are five detached California-style homes featuring a fully furnished Dungeon Suite with Private Jacuzzi and Love Room in La Ciotat, France.
The BDSM Red Room Apartment in Łódź, Poland offers not only kink furniture and impact toys, but the one-bedroom unit has a rare feature for the area, its own private hot tub. Perhaps most surprising of all is the Amsterdam 303, an entire apartment located in Gurugram, India. Atmospherically lit by red light, the apartment includes a bed surrounded by a cage and a jacuzzi tub in its large modern bathroom. The balcony provides guests with an opportunity to see the local foot traffic.
And, finally, for the American traveler who wants to stay closer to home, there’s Casa XXX1Kinky Suite in Mexico City, Mexico. Its double bed is surrounded on three sides by bars and chains, as well as a St. Andrews Cross. The full bathroom is attached to the unit and looks like the interior decorator couldn’t settle on a tile pattern. Centrally located, guests don’t have to leave the room to drink because there’s bar delivery and a minibar. Looking for a more wholesome pastime? The room comes with its own yoga mat. If size matters, the television is an 80-inch HDTV with Netflix and Roku.
No matter where you travel, always remember your safeword.
