Gina and Mercedes are in a Master/slave relationship, an unusual relationship that may surprise the viewer and dispel stereotypes regarding assumptions what a Master/slave relationship and its participants may be like.

They are living together in their stylish and elegant house in San Francisco, where Mercedes serves Gina in many ways and worships Madame Gina in a very committed and devoted manner.

They just had their 2-year anniversary, and Mercedes received her third tattoo as a symbol of their lives being bonded together forever. Their leather family is present as Mercedes receives her tattoo. In their scene, they often enjoy playing with archetypes: the huntress, the victim, the Goddess, the worshipper and much more comes to life.

While Madame Gina treats her slave and “property” to occasional dungeon scenes which include floggings, bondage and many other activities, most of their 24/7 situation centers around Mercedes being Gina's servant, Lady-in-waiting, maid and house slave.

Do take a look at Dr Hoff's trailer and her video podcasts to meet Gina and Mercedes!

My husband is my slave: DVD with Sara and Ben, "Female Dominance, Cross-dressing and Fetish Play"
(in progress)

This couple is married for 23 years. They recently sold their house in San Francisco and moved to Fresno for retirement. Husband and wife enjoy female dominance: Ben always has been submissive to Sara. He is her slave, and they both greatly enjoy this dynamic.
When they met 24 years ago, when Sara bought Ben at a slave auction, Sara found out that Ben was cross-dressing by himself. When he shared this with her, because he believed that she wouldn't judge him about it, she immediately wanted to explore cross-dressing him together. Soon she bought outfits and shoes for him. They discuss how much fun this is for them; they also demonstrate a cross-dressing session between the two of them..
Also, both partners enjoy fetish play. Sara loves dressing herself and her husband in latex rubber outfits on a regular basis and spend an afternoon or evening together enjoying their erotic latex and leather glove fetish play. They also play with leather, leather gloves, satin, shoes and boots. Their marriage and their sex life is very exciting to them after all those years.

We witness a profound Goddess ritual in which Sara performs as the main Priestess, a ritual involving 3 dominant women and 3 men who surrender to the Goddesses. Sara and Ben discuss what spirituality mean to them.
