Longshuihu Village in the Shuangqiao district of Chongqing municipality in China is said to have a tradition of female rule. I imagine it was once called a matriarchy, but these days, I can’t be too sure. What I am certain of is that it would be one kick ass place to visit as a male submissive or a femdom since the town motto happens to be “women never make mistakes, and men can never refuse women’s requests.”

Now, I don’t imagine any ladies prancing around in leather with strapons fastened around their wastes and floggers in their hands all day, but I must admit I kind of like the idea of a female dominated village. According to the tourist bureau, the town won’t be complete until 2010 at the latest, but the fact is that the tourist bureau is indeed marketing the place in a D/s way, albeit without actually using D/s or S/m or BDSM and any other variation in its promotion.

As a traveler what I love about the village is the concept. Often times we tourists visit places and either bask in the sun and drink Margarita’s all day, or hit up every architectural structure, historical monument or art gallery we can possibly find. Visiting Longshuihu Village might just change our perspective on how to experience a location and a culture. After all, I didn’t find any typical sightseeing places on the map, although I am certain there probably are many. To visit a place like this, the history, art and structure wouldn’t be so much readily available in the buildings, but rather the people and it would probably be the perfect place to people-watch.

What interests me more though, is how they’re going to attract tourists. As a female tourist, would I be able to go there and demand anything of any man to my heart’s content and similarly, could a male submissive visit and expect to be given duties and punishments wherever he went?

Well, right now it’s all a bit of a mystery to me, but I am interested in discovering how the idea pans out.
