Whips and Kisses
Readers with sadomasochistic inclinations are the likely audience for this overheated tell-all by Mistress Jacqueline, a Los Angeles dominatrix. Born "Alice" to a middle-class Jewish family in the Bronx, she rebelled early against her emasculated father and dominating mother. In charting her career trajectory from fifth-grade teacher to clinical psychologist to dominatrix, and her personal metamorphosis from a submissive to a dominant personality, Mistress Jacqueline never satisfactorily explains the roots of her sexual predilection. Her confessional, a busy litany of lovers and "slaves," makes a graphic but unconvincing case for her claim that there's "nothing wrong or bad or ugly" with sadomasochistic sex between consenting adults. The book includes a "filmography" of Mistress Jacqueline's videos. Tavel and Rimmer collaborated on Raw Talent, the story of "adult-film" star Jerry Butler.
