A normal 23-year-old would be mortified to find a dirty video starring his own grandmother, but for dominatrix Melody Mars, it was a welcome discovery.
Melody, 23, who was born and raised in New York City’s Lower East Side, recently discovered that her grandmother Mima, now 70, used to punish men for pleasure in the ’80s.
While helping her grandmother move house in October, Melody found her dominatrix scrapbook covered in dust, as well as some naughty VHS tapes.
But instead of turning red and pretending she hadn’t seen the racy photos, Melody was delighted to discover that she had followed in her grandmother’s footsteps.
After her nine-to-five job as a social media executive, the 23-year-old earns extra money working as a dominatrix.

Melody, who has worked in the sex industry for the past five years, said she was not at all surprised by her “powerless” grandmother’s risqué past.
She said: “Mima has always had a commanding, commanding and confident presence and simply won’t tolerate anything she doesn’t like.”
“It wasn’t surprising to find out that Mima had that dominant side.”
The New York native explained that her grandmother didn’t get paid to be a dominatrix, but for her it was “just a lifestyle that she finds even more incredible.”
She continued: ‘My grandmother is practically my twin; we have the same attitude, the same behavior.’
Speaking of her grandmother’s taste in men, Melody said: ‘She loves younger men.
“It was always very funny to me, she loves a man who she can take charge of and who will follow her every command, as he should.
“It’s a lifestyle for her, so it’s not something she’s ever going to leave, it’s just who she is.”
“Imagining the energy of the ’50s and ’60s and all the freedom and rebellion and fun it would have, and how it’s an energy that never left.”

“People who don’t understand my work can be quick to call me abusive, controlling and a million other names, but that doesn’t affect me.”

She explained: “My grandmother had my mother at 16 and was technically married, but they divorced very quickly – young love and whatever.”
‘My mother is a dancer and I grew up surrounded by other sex workers, drag queens and the LGBTQIA+ community.
“I was exposed to a fabulous world that had no limits, everyone was free to explore their sexuality loudly and proudly, and it was beautiful to me.”
Melody added: “My family supports me, they may not want to hear all the details and stories I have, but as long as I am safe and happy, they will be too.”
“I’m very lucky to have them in my life.”
