Enter the darkest recesses of your mind, where pain shadows pleasure, bliss eclipses brutality. The struggle between master and slavery unveils itself unto eager anticipation. A haven of illusion, a Mecca of fantasy where even cries of agony are depraved yet regarded as sweetly erotic.

Within the bowels of midnight debauchery, I recently embarked upon an odyssey of epic proportion. On a quest to find what truly makes a submissive maiden tick, I ventured forth. Bondage and discipline or S&M vixen Bella Rossi if you prefer, succumbed to a few questions while slipping into her kink.com character.

Dave Gammon: The majority of your work to date has been specialty oriented in genre. Having participated in a broad spectrum of fetish type films such as S&M, B&D, Enemas and nude wrestling themes, how was your decision originated to star in these unique classes of films? What motivated you to take this direction rather than typical adult films?

Bella Rossi: It was by accident that I happened to end up in these types of films I knew I wanted to do porn but I never even thought or dreamed of doing BDSM or wrestling naked with female domination in the end. A friend of mine had showed me Kink.com and mentioned that I could become a model so I applied. Next thing I knew I was being tied up and spanked and am the second house slave to be initiated into “servitude” at kink. Because of this I found that vanilla porn might not be as exciting as all this has been for me so I am less intrigued.

DG: Describe your very first experience on set. What emotions were evoked? What thoughts ran through your mind in preparation to shoot? Was there an epiphany or pivotal point that day in which you decided “ok this is something I can do for a living”?

BR: My very first experience on set was a test shoot for a casting couch get up where a girl is interviewed and ends up tied up, however mine I had no couch I was led down to the basement of Kink into a very large very dark room with a small stage and spotlight. From there I was ordered by two males I could not see to remove my clothes and start touching myself. I was so nervous! I had a hard time getting out of my clothes and was hoping with it didn’t show. The whole morning of the shoot I was quite nervous I didn’t know what to expect–had no clue. No real epiphany, but I did do a lot of talking to myself saying yes I can do this and I’ll be good at it.

DG: The popularity of adult entertainment and its universal acceptance especially in mainstream society has soared throughout the ’90′s. The introduction of the internet has contributed to an already borderline saturated industry. Do you believe there is more of a demand for specialty or fetish related content because of a desire to view something fresh and different? Or do you believe the appeal may originate from something else?

BR: I think the appeal comes from peoples deep desires to see what really turns them on. Now that we have the internet people can anonymously watch the kinkiest things without feeling judged by the young girl or guy at the counter of your local porn or movie store. And girls or guys can go into types of porn that really turns them on. The effects are better when the people in the video enjoy it. Either way the internet has opened tinny little doors for all those freaky people out there where they can now order porn to be made to their desires.

DG: What turn ons do you have off screen? Do you prefer a more sensual, gentler change of pace? or do you enjoy dabbling in the realms of S&M, B&D in personal life as well?

BR: I totally love sensual and gentle pace but I do like to tie my man up or make him stand there and let me smack his cock around. I also like to tease the hell out of him that’s my biggest turn on. I’m such a tease and love to leave them hanging and wanting more; Makes me really wet. Like walking down the street and seeing that pervert checking me out in the eye and giving him that “yes I know you like”– that look with a sexy smile as I grab onto my mans arm. I also like good calf’s on a guy and a nice tight ass.

DG: Describe one unfulfilled fantasy.

BR: I really don’t have one at the moment. I kind of stopped having them. I found that the fantasy was always way sexier than real life. Plus I live out everyone else’s fantasies so I’m always having fun!!!! –OK thought of one- I would very much like to be a Dominatrix Jessica Rabbit. I have always likes how she has a sex appeal that no cartoon should. I can’t wait for that day!!

DG: Where do you see Bella Rossi five years from now? Any new projects or endeavors on the horizon?

BR: There are a lot of things that I would like to be doing in the next five years not only for me but for other people. I think a lot about becoming a sex therapist. I like to help couples learn how to explore each other and to communicate their desires. I find this is where a lot of couples go wrong: They are not honest about the things that turn them on with their partners because they are scared of rejection. If you’re not honest about it then you will not be satisfied. Looking else where for it, yet they have no idea what you want. I hope that when a woman sees me doing porn she isn’t threatened by me but inspired, inspired to try new things and to feel sexy being herself. To see that there is beauty in sex, in pleasing a man or woman and that whatever turns her on she should not be ashamed or afraid of.
