Jenny Nordbak takes us to a place that few have seen, but millions have fantasized about, revealing how she transformed herself from a USC grad lacking in confidence into an elite professional dominatrix who finds her own voice, power and compassion for others.

On an unorthodox quest to understand her hidden fantasies, Jenny led a double life for two years. By day she was a construction manager, but at night she became Mistress Scarlett. Working at LA’s longest-running dungeon, she catered to the secret fetishes of clients ranging from accountants to movie stars. She simultaneously developed a career in the complex and male-dominated world of healthcare construction, while spending her nights as a sex worker, dominating men. Far from the standard-issue powerful men who pay to be helpless, Mistress Scarlett’s clientele included men whose fantasies revealed more complex needs, from “Tickle Ed” to “Doggie Dan,” from the “Treasure Trolls” to “Ta-Da Ted.” The Scarlett Letters explores the spectacularly diverse array of human sexuality and the fascinating cast of characters that the author encountered along the way.

although it could hardly be obvious from the title, the author takes an analytic, nearly ethnographic look at the bdsm community, with all its sweet and bitter parts. she also presents her journey as a coming of age quest during which she gets to know herself better, become more emphatic, and ready to form a deep connection with a partner. one other aspect discovered in the book is related to judgement. "everyone is fighting a battle we know nothing about", so before we judge them we should think if we really know them so well as to be in the position to judge. also, great book!!! totally recommend it

insightful and funny
