Very true.
The Bury Dungeon (AKA The Manchester Dungeon) was also incredibly open to taking on trainees, and many of the mistresses around the North West and M62 corridor learnt their trade there.
The current alternatives are all a bit under the radar.
Theresa's place in Radcliffe was decent and still did some training but I think may have closed
Manchester Chambers in Ashton is decent but not a big rota
Sheba's place in Eccles is very good but very under the radar
I think it's a mix of supply and demand.
As with much of this industry there are other ways to make money, OnlyFans etc.
You'd think the demand might be higher with society becoming more kink aware, but maybe the younger generations are looking for something a bit different, or able to find it in different ways.
It kind of mirrors parlours in Manchester, nowhere near as much choice as there used to be ..... real shame.
I miss the ease of just thinking I want a good dungeon domme session and having a decent choice .... I loved that place Mistress Rose had in Denton, very dungeony but also had a tall blonde lady there who could be quite sexual .....
