Biography

Eva Oh, widely recognized by her professional moniker ‘Mistress Eva,’ has established herself as a notable figure in the realm of sexuality and BDSM. Her career boasts multiple achievements, including being honored with a Sexual Freedom Award and serving as the face of the German Fetish Ball. Among her pioneering contributions is the creation of the world’s first submissive training platform, youwillpleaseme.com; the #teakink series and the award winning Safeword Podcast.

Eva’s extensive professional journey has also encompassed the diverse fields of strategic development, ethnographic research, sustainable design, social work, production and performance art. Her insight and perspective have garnered attention from prestigious media outlets such as the Washington Post, WIRED, Rolling Stone, InStyle, Entrepreneur, Newsweek, VICE, i-D, DAZED, and Slutever.

A passionate advocate for the destigmatization of sexuality, BDSM culture and sex work, Eva is an active voice in promoting open dialogues. She has participated in panels at the Berlin Porn Film Festival, PinkFest Singapore, and Burning Man USA. Furthermore, Eva extends her expertise through a mentoring and consultancy service, providing guidance to those seeking to benefit from her extensive experience.

Eva’s journey took an intriguing turn in 2011 when she encountered a clash of values within the corporate sector. This pivotal moment led her to embark on a journey of exploration, training as a Professional Dominatrix at the renowned Salon Kitty’s Dungeons in Sydney, Australia under the mentorship of Head Mistress Amanda. At this time Eva also gained valuable experience in various other aspects of the sex industry, including roles as an Escort, Brothel Worker, and Massage Worker. In 2018, she published an informative guide in both English and Japanese, tailored to individuals working in these sectors. An updated Guide-Memoir is in development.

While her professional path has shifted toward her personal practice in Lifestyle Domination, Eva’s commitment to education remains steadfast. Leveraging the power of new media, she has launched the enlightening #teakink podcast, inviting listeners to delve into the unfiltered stories of her life and work. Her engagement extends to thought-provoking Q&A sessions on social media, tackling themes like ‘Race and Kink,’ ‘BDSM and Religion,’ and ‘Submissive Men and Society.’

Eva’s efforts in the media spotlight are instrumental in fostering public understanding, destigmatization, and the eventual decriminalization of sex work. Her journey has also taken a cinematic turn, with her film debut ‘Grief Encounter,’ a collaborative project with Ellen Pearson and Kitty Drake that explores themes of grief, death, and seduction. Premiering on Erika Lust’s XConfessions channel in 2022, the film has garnered recognition, including the prestigious Baron Art Prize 2022 and a festival premiere at the Rotterdam International Film Festival.

The legacy of ‘Mistress Eva’ is immortalized through a portrait created by renowned Femdom artist Sardax. This artistic depiction, inspired by Guan Yin, the Goddess of Mercy, portrays Eva seated on a celestial throne, surrounded by her submissives, symbolizing a spiritual connection.
