Dominatrix who spent $15K building a BDSM DUNGEON in her Brooklyn apartment says she's being forced out by neighbors who claim she brings 'weirdos' and 'perverts' to the area

A dominatrix who spent $15,000 creating a dungeon in her home claims she is being hounded out by disapproving neighbors who say the business attracts 'sickos' to the area.

Charlotte Taillor, 30, has given over two floors of her townhouse in the Bed-Stuy region of Brooklyn, New York, to her BDSM parlour.

She claims the dungeon has a strictly 'no sex' policy and is simply about being kinky and having fun, however, her neighbors aren't happy about the disruption.

Business! Charlotte Taillor, 30, created a BDSM parlour in her two-story townhouse in Brooklyn, New York, after moving to the area in November 2018 

Yikes: The dominatrix spent a total of $15,000 transforming the apartment into a BDSM parlor, which she insists has a 'no sex' policy 

Risque! Charlotte says the dungeon is simply for 'being kinky' and 'having fun', as she explained that the parlor's purpose is to let people explore their 'kinks' 

Woah! Charlotte, who wanted to create a community centered around a kinky culture, said her dungeon contains a number of items including a throne, a crucifix and 'hundreds of sex toys' 

Conflict: Charlotte's neighbors have complained about her business, saying that it attracts 'weirdos' and 'perverts' to the area 

Charlotte's neighbors claim her business is damaging the area and that strange men are constantly hanging around in the street.

The 30-year-old says her customers are being harassed - and has no option but to move home.

She said: 'This isn't a sex club like what some of the neighbors are suggesting. Sex never happens here, this is just a place to be kinky and have fun.

Creepy: A neighbor of Charlotte's said the 30-year-old's business attracts 'creepy' men

'We're all about empowerment and people being free to express their kinks. 

'We primarily teach men and women about BDSM and how to better understand their lovers and themselves, but we're being labelled as perverts for that. 

'I've spent $15,000 on this dungeon and moving is not going to be easy,' she added.

Charlotte explained that her dungeon contains a number of items including a throne, a crucifix and 'hundreds of sex toys'.

She said, despite already kitting the dungeon out, if her neighbors don't want her there, she will have to leave.  

One of Taillor's biggest critics is her neighbor Laurie Miller, 58, who has lived in the Bed-Stuy region of Brooklyn for more than 40 years. 

She said: 'This is a residential street and now we have weirdos and perverts hanging around the block waiting to go in there for whatever it is they do. 

'I don't care how people get their kicks, they can swing from the ceilings for all I care but I don't want a business like this on the street where I live. 

'It may be a prejudice of mine, but once this doesn't get them off, what are they going to do, snatch a kid or a woman off the street? 

Details: The 30-year-old, who held a 'spanksgiving' event for Thanksgiving last year, said she has 'hundreds' of sex toys throughout the dungeon

Learning: Charlotte uses her dungeon to hold 'classes' that are aimed toward teaching women more about their sexuality 

Disappointed: The dominatrix said it is a 'shame' that her neighbors have reacted negatively to her business, as she said she wants to feel included in her community 

Solutions: Charlotte (pictured at a community meeting) has no choice but to move house and relocated her BDSM parlor to another place, after neighbors voiced their opinions 

She added: 'I mean some of these guys are really creepy-looking and that's what really bothers me. 

'Some of them send your spidey senses tingling, so I just have one thing to say to Miss Taillor and that is Bye Felicia,' Laurie added.

Taillor moved to the neighborhood in December 2018 with the hope of building a community centered around a kinky culture.

Help: Charlotte has set up a GoFundMe page to help her cover the costs of moving her BDSM parlor 

But tensions quickly escalated and she has now resigned herself to leaving the neighborhood. 

She said: 'It's such a shame because we love our neighbors and want to be a part of any community we are in.

'Last year we held a 'Spanksgiving' event and so many people came along to find out what we are about. 

'I just wish the members of this community would come along to see what we do instead of leaving threatening notes on our door and yelling at my customers forcing us to cancel workshops. 

'Many of the classes we teach are donation based - it's just for women who want to find out more about their sexuality,' she added.

But Laurie, who Taillor claims regularly yells at her customers and scares them away, has said she will not stop until the dungeon is gone.

'As far as I'm concerned this will all be over when she gets off our block,' Laurie said. 

'Until then I'll be letting the sickos know that they are not welcome here,' she added.

Charlotte launched a Go Fund Me account to help with her moving costs.

She says that generous subs and doms from around the world have already donated over $5,000 to help her pay for a new dungeon in another neighborhood.
