I really, really wish I had made up that title, but it comes from this article over at CNBC. And they got it from the Kinkonomics blog over at The Daily Beast. (Kinkonomics article may be NSFW) Definitely read the Kinkonomics blog post, but this is how CNBC describes it:

Are you listening to me?
(Whapisssh!)
One of the kinkier trends to emerge from this recession is that many professional women are turning to dominatrix work to supplement their incomes, Tracy Quan reports in her blog post called “Kinkonomics” over at the Daily Beast.
Quan interviews some of the women who’ve turned to fetish work, including “Linda,” who works as a editor by day and a dominatrix at night.
So — apparently there are some actual recession-proof (and not — ahem –stimulus qualified) opportunities out there at 80 – 200 dollars per hour! Who knew!
Why is this posted here? Well, we’ve been taking a look at some of the details of the meltdown and thought that DL readers would be very interested in a growth industry that keeps its clients firmly in hand.
