Date With Destiny

A very attractive cast stars in this partially narrated tale of a slave coming to terms with what she truly wants and needs.

Vanessa James is finally ready to commit to Mistress Jean. Meeting her in a public place, she admits that she has had reservations about making her relationship with the mistress a lifestyle choice. The mistress has reservations, too - she doesn't want to play games and she is not looking for someone who dallies in S&M. She wants a permanent slave. What happens next is slow but effective soft-scene S&M magic.

Part how-to video and part S&M diary, each set-up takes the viewer through Vanessa's journey into the apprehension then full submission to her Mistress. Her desire to learn obedience through domination is realistic, giving a true insight to the trepidation felt by most BDSM beginners without being heavy-handed or preachy.

The fascination with S&M rubs off on Vanessa's friend Emily Marilyn who, after learning of her friends' epiphany, decides that she, too, may find happiness in the hands of the mistress. This introduces a fun and playful element to this sometimes too cerebral and too serious venture.

With light spanking and even lighter bondage, this video should appeal to the often-overlooked need to prove dominance and S&M needn't be harsh, vicious or cruel.
