⭐︎I already posted this on Japanese blog, but I will share the same post here as well.

I have returned to Shiora and am now working as usual again ðŸ‘
Actually, from late March to late April, I stayed in a certain state in the United States.
It is a very special place that has attracted me strongly ever since I first visited about 10 years ago. I loved it so much that sometimes I even traveled there twice a year.
This time, because it was my first long stay in several years, I took a little longer break and spent my time slowly and peacefully.
And of course, the purpose of this trip was…
“An SM Trip — What is Negotiation?”
Several years ago, during a California flogging workshop I attended in Japan, I learned for the first time about the culture of “negotiation before a session.” Since then, one question has remained in my mind, together with the doubts I felt through my own sessions: what is that atmosphere really like?
What do Dominants and submissives confirm before a session, and how do they build trust with each other? I wanted to find the answer with my own eyes.
That is why, during this trip, I asked the submissives and Dominants I met there if I could observe the atmosphere of real negotiations and sessions, while trying to deepen my understanding in my own way.
I visited local dungeons and private dungeons, and even went to around nine adult shops. I finally found a pony play book I had been searching for for a long time, and also welcomed some new toys into my collection… It truly was a trip completely immersed in the world of SM.
Even on quiet days spent relaxing at the hotel, my iPhone was always open to something related to SM. It made me realize once again just how deeply I love this world.
This time, thanks to the support of some of my sub(a La Siora members), I was also given the rare opportunity to observe a session involving local double Dommes and my submissive (a La Siora member).
I was incredibly grateful that they even allowed me to film inside their private dungeon, interview the Dommes, and record parts of the session as well. It was truly an unforgettable experience.
And thanks to the help of a member who lives locally, I was even able to spend time visiting antique shops, which I absolutely love.
To my sweet and lovely submissives,
and to everyone who helped make this stay possible, thank you so very much.
Without a doubt, this was the most fulfilling trip abroad I have ever had ðŸ˜❤️
I plan to continue visiting that place regularly from now on. It seems there are still many hidden private dungeons there that I have yet to discover.
And to the members I could not meet this time because of timing, I hope we can meet there together next time.
For those who are curious about the location or details:
Please refrain from contacting the reception or asking other Dommes for information.
