SAN FRANCISCO — Maitresse Madeline Marlowe has made a career out of challenging norms in adult film. Tomorrow, the noted Kink Domme go even farther when she releases a scene featuring her real-life life-partner, Will Havoc, in hopes of exposing viewers to an authentic and personal D/s relationship.

Maitresse Madeline says the decision to put her private life in front of the camera was difficult, but necessary.

“Will and I discussed the idea over a number of weeks, and ultimately decided that it was important for us to counter the misrepresentations about BDSM relationships that have dominated the media this year. We’re both adult performers, but bringing our actual relationship on set was a level of exposure that was new and challenging.”

Madeline met Havoc several years ago, when he appeared as a sub on another Divine Bitches set — Havoc’s first adult shoot. There was immediate chemistry, and soon after, started dating and fell in love. But they haven’t shot together since.

Madeline says that the degree of trust allowed her to push her own boundaries as a Domme.

“Because this is the love of my life, I felt comfortable doing things I’d never done before on camera, like getting fucked and having him cum in me. I think the scene will implode a lot of stereotypes about relationships with a female dominant.”

Before shooting the scene, Madeline and Havoc sat for an interview with the documentary site Behind Kink to discuss why they decided to do the shoot, and their relationship in general.

“Madeline’s persona on-camera is authentic to real life,” says Havoc. “But what a lot of people don’t see maybe is that she’s very kind and loving and thoughtful. And that’s a really super key aspect if you’re going to have any kind of BDSM dynamic in your real life. You can’t have it without that.”

“A Devoted Man“ will be released on DivineBitches.com today.
