Lingerie [laughs]. My parents opened a restaurant in the western suburbs of Melbourne when I was around 16-years-old and those rough suburbs being what they were, things would fall off the backs of trucks, and I remember someone coming to me with boxes of lingerie. I had a couple of female friends, who were also working girls, and one night I showed one of them the lingerie and they loved it. She mentioned some of the girls at her work would possibly like it too.Where did she work?
Well, back then brothels were illegal so she worked in this complex on St Kilda Road known as ‘the Block’ or ‘the Square’. It was a block of apartments in an L-shape, three floors tall and every apartment housed a different brothel. So, I rolled up there one night and sat in the coffee room and let the girls go through the gear, I said ‘This is the product, you can look through it, if you like it you can buy it’. In that environment I couldn’t and wouldn’t give credit, so I used to sit there while they’d earn the money to buy the lingerie.

I’d talk. Girls would be there and they would start telling me things; the bizarre things that they’d do for their customers. The stuff I used to hear was absolutely mindboggling. They would try and negotiate with me, ‘I’ll do this if you give me that’. And I’d say ‘No, pay for it, and then we can talk about what you want to do with me’. But I never succumbed to exchanging anything for sexual favours. That was something that I have never done. I actually never dabbled in any of the girls.Never?
No. But this will interest you. I was 18 or 19-years-old, it was my cousin’s birthday and I said, ‘Right, what do you want for your birthday?’ And he’d never been laid, so I said ‘alright, I’ll introduce you to the girls.’ We rolled up, knocked on one of the doors and this new girl answered. She had blonde hair and a cute East European accent. I didn’t know her but I told her we were there for my cousin to lose his virginity. She looked at us and said, ‘I’ll do both of you for the same price. You’re both really good looking boys’, and we sort of looked at each other with an intrigued look and went okay [laughs].That was probably the first and only experience I ever had with a working girl as a customer.I’m offended you thought that would interest me. What happened?
After negotiating boundaries of some of the things she wished to experience with both of us, she also wanted to be flogged and brought out a bag of implements/toys, which of course, are the type I use now.

The most defining moment!For the last 9 years you’ve been running one of the worlds only purposely designed and built fetish clubs. Tell me about ‘ABODE’?
Well, what does ‘ABODE’ mean? It means ‘home’ in old English. The biggest feedback we get from people when they first walk in here is ‘My god I feel so at home here’. That’s humbling to know that purely by the environment that people walk into, as different as it may be, they feel at home. That’s bizarre within itself, but that is the intent.Do you remember when you first opened ‘ABODE’?
Yes. It was such a bad place. Notorious for its problems.What kind of problems?
It was surrounded by prostitutes, pimps, drugs and crime.What did you do?
I individualised who the pimps were, because you can’t approach the girls or they will gouge your eyes out. But if you look at broaching an understanding with the pimp, then you’re halfway there. What I did was started speaking street talk. I grew up in certain areas of Melbourne where if you didn’t have street talk, you’d be a dead man. And so one of the easiest things that most people understand is – you don’t shit in my backyard and I won’t shit in yours. So, what I did is forged an agreement with them. We work around each other now.Is ABODE like Las Vegas? What happens in ABODE stays in ABODE?
Definitely. I am the keeper of secrets. Although, some just can’t wait to tell their own naughty little secrets.

There’s not much more beautiful and sexy than a sensual woman on the hunt. When she manifests and subtly expresses that look of hunger in her body and eyes, slowly prowling and intently hunting her prey down throughout the night… only to walk away and leave the hunted wandering what if?What’s the sexiest thing you’ve ever been involved in?
A mother and daughter duo. I’ll let your imagination do the rest.OK moving on. You’ve worked on Hollywood films and Australian TV as a fetish and alternative lifestyle consultant. What was your first gig?
The Matrix 3.What has been your favourite on-set moment?
It would have been on the set of The Matrix 3 also, when the Wachowski brothers bowed down to us in awe after our input with the fetish club scene. That was a little embarrassing but truly amazing.Since you worked with Larry Wachowski on The Matrix he’s now transgendered to Lana. Have you seen photos of his transformation? Thoughts?
Like so many post-transition people we know, Lana has a look of contentment and has found her solitude… and very red hair.In the early ‘80s what types of people initially practiced BDSM? And has a ‘gentrification’ of BDSM emerged?
In the ‘80s Fetishism and BDSM was practised by people who lived a true lifestyle and not so much putting themselves on show, it was a much more clandestine world. Has the scene gentrified? Sadly in ways it has.

Mainstream exposure is good, bad and indifferent. 50 Shades has allowed people to become more curious about the lifestyle. Sadly, most end up going to the local sex shop or Internet and buy the pretend crap and then wonder why it hasn’t improved their sex-life.Being that you’ve been involved in the Fetish/BDSM world for so long, do you think you’ve acquired a sense of who’s into Fetish/BDSM just by looking at them? I’m imagining something like a gaydar.
Yeah… I have a flashing purple light on top of my head [laughs]. But you know it’s true for some; they wear their heart on their sleeve and their truth in their eyes. I can, at times, simply make eye contact with a person and know what tickles their fancy.If I throw names of well-known people at you, would you to tell me if you think they would be a ‘sub’ or a ‘Domme’ and why? And what fetish you think would suit them? First up, Julia Gillard?
Domme. Love her or hate her, there is no doubt she is a powerful woman. Wonder if the lodge is full of house-boys?Tony Abbott?
Sub. From his lycra to his budgie smugglers, I’m sure he wears a latex onesie to bed.Gina Reinhart?
Mum always said, “If you can’t say anything nice, say nothing at all”.Justin Beiber?
He thinks he’s the man but any Domme will have him on his knees in a second.Rihanna?
Tops from the bottom. Keep her in a cage, well fed and she’s good to go when you want her.

Switch. No question he’s a man that knows what he wants and drives it with both hands.What does the future hold for The Colonel and your partner Tracy G?
More of the same and a couple of new projects currently in review, perhaps followed by retirement in a large country manor with a stable full of minions.Do you ever think you'll 'hang up your flogger' so to speak?
Nope, when I’m too old to hold it I’ll have one of my PVC-clad nurses do it for me.Follow Noah on Twitter: @NoahKNixonMore kink related stuff:Love Is PainLascivious: How to Hurt the Ones You Love
