After publicly sharing how she became a professional dome Sherry Lever, 68, from Swindon was inundated with over a hundred requests from women keen to ‘learn the ropes’.
Following three divorces Sherry revealed how she reinvented herself first as a phone-sex worker, then as a mistress that charges up to £120 an hour for a session. The mother-of three, who goes by her alter ego Mistress Sophia, maintains her children are completely understanding of her unconventional career path. Sherry told Barcroft TV: “ After giving it some thought I appeared on television where I told my story, afterwards it was a revelation, I got lots of emails from women. “It was women who were in a similar situation to me, older women who had been left and were in the depths of despair as I was. “I think I had easily a hundred emails from women, I answered them all. It really touched me, and it actually made me feel I was helping somebody who had been in my situation. “There’s quite a few now who are working the phones that didn’t before. And I have quite a few that come to me to be trained. I don’t charge but they have to have a dominant streak.”
One of the women who reached out to Sherry was a 50-year-old office worker who now goes by her alter ego Mistress Chloe. After sitting in on some of Sherry’s session she is now considering giving up her office job to become a full-time dominatrix. Mistress Chloe told BTV: “Mistress Sofia [Sherry] has changed my life for the better. I’m a lot happier, confident. Got a spark in my life and I just really enjoy life now. “She’s trained me well in all sorts. I originally came into this just wanting to do foot worship but I‘ve come a long way since. She’s brought the confidence out of me and guided me along. “Before I was just nine-to-five, office job, now I have men that come over and clean, hoover, clean my kitchen for me. If they don’t do it good, they get a caning, I paddle them and whip them.”
Mistress Sofia offers a range of specialist services, from flogging and humiliation to ice play and sissy training to her submissives. She wants to dismiss the misconception that what she does is sex work and insists she does not have sex with any of her clients. She said: “ So we are labelled under sex workers, sex business, sex industry and I want to dispel that fact. “I want people to understand we are not escorts; I don’t have sex with my subs or slaves. “They are only allowed to worship my feet, nothing above the ankles.”
Her daughter, Amy, 30, explains she isn’t embarrassed about it and hasn’t shied away from telling friends what her mum does for a living. Although initially concerned for her safety, after she met some of her mother’s slaves, she realised there were no real security concerns. She told BTV: “None of [my friends] have a problem with it, in fact it tends to be a general giggle when the subject is brought up. “I was apprehensive to begin with. She would never be in the house on her home. And then as time went on, we realised there wasn’t really anything to be worried about.” Sherry said about her children: “They’ve always been supportive right from when I first started doing the phone calls. “I did speak to them first and asked them how they felt about it. If they hadn’t of like it – I wouldn’t have done it.”
Sherry was 59 when her third husband left her for another woman and feeling worthless on her sofa. After an intervention from her daughter Amy she found strength to rebuild her life. Amy said: “Things got tough when my dad left her, that’s when she hit rock bottom. I sat next to her on the sofa and I told her I thought she was going to die.” Sherry said: “ I think because of my past, I had bad marriages and each one left me just a little bit lower than the last. So, by the time my third marriage came to an end I thought so was my life. “Amy has been my rock. When she told me, she thought I was going to die that was like a light switch really. And that was it, I pulled myself together and here we are.” Now the 68-year-old says she has never been happier, she has converted her conservatory into her ‘playroom’ which boasts an impressive array of kinky paraphernalia from rubber masks to French maid outfits. “Before I became a dominatrix my life was dull, boring and then suddenly everything changed. “I might be elderly, but I have zing in me, I think that’s from what I do.”

For many in Britain, it took 'Fifty Shades of Grey' to finally open up the secretive – and potentially extremely painful – world of sadomasochistic sex.
But as a film version of the bestselling book trilogy prepares to premiere on Friday, the most famous Dominatrix in France has told Mail Online: 'It's a poorly written fairy-tale and much too soft – real bondage is massively more fulfilling'.
In an exclusive interview at her Paris home, 84-year-old author Catherine Robbe-Grillet insisted that there was 'nothing unusual at all' about her chosen lifestyle.
It involves 'devoting herself to pleasure' with live-in submissive companion, Beverly Charpentier, 51, a mother of two.
The couple have been together for seven years, since the death of the Maîtresse's husband, Alain Robbe-Grillet, the intellectual novelist and film-maker who, when called upon, was also an enthusiastic sadist.
Real bondage: Beverly Charpentier, pictured, is the 51-year-old South African woman who is 83-year-old Catherine Robbe-Grillet's submissive companion. She says: 'Catherine is my secret garden'
50 Shades? It's 'soft': Catherine Robbe-Grillet and her 'submissive' Beverly Charpentier regularly indulge in erotic 'ceremonies' in their magnificent 17th Century château in Normandy
They regularly indulge in erotic 'ceremonies' in the French capital, at their magnificent 17th Century château in Normandy, or in other glamorous locations around the world.
Surrounding the couple are weapons, including the 'marital whip' which Madame Robbe-Grillet bought for her late husband as a 'symbol of my submission' back in 1954. She has used it almost every day since.
Her staged bondage sessions can be extremely brutal, with Madame Robbe-Grillet often referred to as a female version of the Marquis de Sade, as in the 18th Century French aristocrat who was famous for his libertine lifestyle.
Madame Robbe-Grillet comes across as a charming octogenarian – the kind anybody would love as a granny – but is known to have pierced and cut people, crowned them with thorns, and chained them to walls.
This is hard to believe, considering she is just 4ft 11in, weighs just over six stone, and has worn children's clothes all her life.
But Madame Robbe-Grillet, who was educated in an all-girls Catholic school, admits that practices in her sex life 'run the risk of someone killing someone, or certainly doing serious damage' so it is 'all about limits'. Her boundary is 'irreversible blood loss.'
Catherine Robbe-Grillet, pictured at home in Neuilly-Sur-Seine, France, in 1985, is the most famous dominatrix in France and has told MailOnline that the movie 50 Shades is a pale imitation of real-life BDSM

Alain Robbe-Grillet, writer and film-maker, was married to Catherine Robbe-Grillet, right, until his death in 2008. Her memoir of the first five years of their marriage revealed: 'He passionately loves beating, biting, hurting,' she observed. They visited sex clubs, and picked up strangers on the Metro.
'Fifty Shades of Grey is a romantic fairytale by comparison,' said Madame Robbe-Grillet. 'It's romantic literature – effectively the story of a powerful man, a Prince Charming, and his adventurous relationships.
'There are spicy bits, and the scenes certainly inspired an interest in bondage, discipline and dominance, but I don't believe it did much to increase the number of people taking part.'
Madame Robbe-Grillet agreed that the book had 'inspired women in particular', but only towards a 'soft version' of BDSM, as a variety of sexual practices including bondage and tying up partners are referred to.
'I went to a sex shop after the book came out in 2011, and there was certainly an increase in sales of bondage aids,' said Madame Robbe-Grillet.
'What was very noticeable, however, was that people were buying handcuffs which were furry or velvet.
'Essentially, people in countries like Britain are buying into a romanticised version of what BDSM is all about.
'The English love their set piece soirees – extravagant outfits, dancing and role playing. They enjoy their canes, for example – it's all about drama and conforming to a stereotype, but strict erotic practices can be very limited.'
Madame Robbe-Grillet said she gained 'huge pleasure' attending events with her late husband, but her sex life had got even better as she matured. 'It's not everyone, but it's right for me,' she said.
'Beverly swore an oath to me before Alain died aged eighty five,' said Madame Robbe-Grillet. 'Alain was delighted she would be there for me, and our relationship is perfect'.

They live in separate rooms, and then meet up at 2pm for tea, before spending the rest of the day together.
Both are trained actresses, and on a tour to China in October performed lead roles in the Marguerite Duras play Savannah Bay.
'It's the kind of thing we both love,' said Madame Robbe-Grillet. 'We are always involved in new projects, and have massively busy lives.
'Age should be no barrier to anything in life, least of all sex – I am as happy and fulfilled in my eighties as I was at any time in my life.'
The couple met more than 20 years ago in Mexico. Beverly was married to a French diplomat, and remained married until her husband's death in 2013. He visited the chateau regularly with their two children.
Charpentier told author Toni Bentley, who published an interview in Vanity Fair which was reproduced in The Sunday Times: 'From the moment I met her, I was obsessed with her. I wanted to be with her.' She said women had never featured in her fantasies before.
Then, one night: 'I watched as she put her hand around the back of a submissive's neck, and I realised in that moment I wanted that to be my neck'.
Madame Robbe-Grillet has noticed a market change in social attitudes in recent years, and misses the 'free love' days of the 1960s and 1970s, when people 'would have all kinds of sex in any circumstances.
'This spirits continued well into the 1990s, when Alain and I attended lots of events in New York, for example, but the whole scene was slowly cleaned up by the authorities.
'Anything went then, but there is a definite move towards conservatism now,' she said. 'This is particularly the case with feminism, as women embrace marriage and st
