"Welcome to the Black Femdom Clinic of Club Onyx," said Marissa Agbaje, smiling pleasantly. The six-foot-tall, curvy, dark-skinned and big-bottomed, thirty-something Nigerian American woman looked at the newcomer to the club and quietly assessed him. Peterson Saint-Germain had Haitian written all over him. The big and tall, dark-skinned, bald-headed and muscular young Black man looked at his surroundings before finally answering Marissa's greeting. With over a decade of customer service experience under her belt, Marissa Agbaje remains unflappable as ever...
Club Onyx, located in the basement of the Afro-Caribbean Art Collective of New England, has quietly garnered a reputation for wildness over the past decade. Black men and Black women in the Boston area like kink and BDSM as well as everyone else and they do need a safe place to play. Marissa and a few others provide them with that place...for a fee. Licking her lips, Marissa Agbaje leaned back in her chair while looking at Peterson, the proverbial newcomer. Something about a sexy young Black man exploring his sexuality always makes Marissa Agbaje smile. Club Onyx is the perfect place for such experimentation...
"Um, hello, I'm Peterson, this is my first time," Peterson said, and he smiled nervously at Marissa Agbaje before handing her the card. The red and Black card, with the club's symbol emblazoned on it, represented the cream of the crop of the Black BDSM world. Onyx Society is a dream come true and it's been a long time coming. White men and White women have their clubs, dungeons and play parties. Isn't it about time that Black men and Black women created their own clubs and dungeons in order to host their own all-Black play parties? Someone had to do it...
Black BDSM afficionados have needs of their own and don't like to attend other groups parties because they're fetishized by weirdoes and creeps, rather than being seen as real people. Every Black male BDSM enthusiast who attends one of those parties will be seen as a BBC thug by White dudes and White ladies. To them, the Black man is a penis on two legs rather than a real human being. Every Black female BDSM enthusiast attending such an event will be seen as an Ebony Plaything by the same crowd. Black men and Black women are tired of being seen as other. Club Onyx is Black-owned and operated, and it's for Black folks only. Those who don't like that can get over it.
"Mr. Peterson, you came to the right place, one of our ladies will be with you shortly," said Marissa Agbaje. Peterson nodded and sat at a chair. Taking out his cellphone, Peterson began flipping through it. Marissa looked at Peterson, whose nervousness was palpable. When Marissa first moved to the City of Boston, Massachusetts, from her hometown of Port Harcourt, Nigeria, she experienced a brand new world. After earning her business degree from Northeastern University, Marissa stayed in Boston and started a job with Cronauer & Hadrian Limited, a fast-growing tech start-up.
While at Northeastern University, Marissa was introduced to the world of BDSM by Jameson Browne, a tall, handsome young Jamaican man whom she met in the business program. Marissa fell in love with the world of kink, but she found its lack of diversity to be problematic. In the world of kink, it seemed as though Black men and Black women existed as sexual playthings for White folks, rather than real people. Marissa doesn't mind being admired or even lusted after but she's nobody's fetish, thank you very much. Along with a few friends, Marissa formed a club for Black BDSM lovers. No White dicks. No White chicks. Club Onyx keeps it Black on Black. Black kink is its own reward...
