Since social thresholds have changed since the 1950s, I would imagine that what was considered a “Dominatrix” was probably somewhat tame by our modern standards. Of course, throughout time there’s always been heavyweight sadists, so I’m sure you could find those, but I doubt they “advertised” for fear of being thought of as criminal or insane. Today, they are sought after, if not celebrated more openly (moreso within our culture).
I wonder what it would have been like to session with a dominatrix back then.
