The Katt Ford Interview: "Like most girls, I have a thing for power."
"For me, there’s nothing hotter than a woman who is aware of her sexual power, and willing to use it."
Katt Ford is the author of over 1,000 erotic femdom novellas (counting multi-episode series) on Amazon, including My Kinky Daughter-in-Law, Teaching Him A Lesson, and Halloween themed titles like The Church of Lydia and A Halloween Experiment.
She recently launched her Substack publication, where she is publishing stories like Ashley’s Tease Toy and The Coven. As she says, the power dynamics at the heart of sex and BDSM are sexy as fuck. But if you ask her (and me), the woman who is using her sexual power is a more interesting character than the dom man.
Oh, and let’s not forget the dress and the fetishwear: “leather, latex, high heels…it’s all so much fun!”
Take a look at Femdom Stories by Katt Ford, and read what she has to say in the latest kinky interview to be published at My Pen, Her Whip.
What are your favorite kinks to write about?
Like most girls, I have a thing for power. It’s sexy having it and sexy submitting to it, but for some reason, I really struggle to get excited about a guy being in charge. For me, there’s nothing hotter than a woman who is aware of her sexual power, and willing to use it.
I started off writing femdom, and that led fairly naturally to things like male chastity and cuckolding. And then there are all those wonderful side fetishes, like leather, latex, high heels…it’s all so much fun!
If I was going to boil it down, I’d say it’s powerful women getting the sex they want, on their terms. The rest is bonus.
Are you into BDSM in real life? Are you a domme?
Not professionally. But do I have to put my husband in his place from time to time? Yes. Does he love it when I do? Also yes.
Definitely, I love being in charge. But I will admit that there are times when I like to give up control for a change.
Who is your favorite dominatrix in film or literature?
Honestly? The wicked queen from Snow White.
I think a lot of us discover these kinks when we are too young to really understand them. The Queen is beautiful, mean, and takes no shit. There’s something sexy about that.
Your favorite male sub?
Male subs in pop culture are tricky. Almost always, they’re held up as figures of fun, as spineless weaklings. But anyone who knows anything about kink knows that isn’t true. Many successful, powerful men love to give up control to a woman.
I think an interesting male sub in popular culture is Chuck Rhoades from the TV show Billions. Super smart, crazy capable, driven. A genius at what he does. But he balances that by submitting to his gorgeous wife.
Many of your stories, such as the Male Privilege Revoked series with Megan and Riley's Lesson, involve the man being dominated by feminists and having his chauvinistic views challenged. How exciting is this scenario for you?
It’s a fun one. Those are both quite recent stories of mine, and they are a reaction to the cultural moment we’re having right now. I haven’t yet had a reader reach out to give me their opinion on those stories, but they both sold quite well.
Sometimes I think I’m being a bad feminist writing like that. Megan and Riley are less interested in equality between the sexes than they are in subjugating men, and that makes them sexy, but it doesn’t make them right. They’re certainly not great examples of feminist thought.
But the hotter the topic, the hotter it is to play with it. It’s fun to set them up almost as a parody, as a representation of male fears around female empowerment. Does women’s freedom have to come at the expense of men? Absolutely not.
But in the world of my stories? Yeah, that’s pretty much how it works!
You have a new compilation, A Halloween Experiment, coming out just in time for the kinky holiday. Can you give our readers a summary of what they should expect?
I love Halloween! The costumes…
A Halloween Experiment is told from the point of view of Abby, a girl who just got her heart broken. She’s not ready to date, or so she thinks. But her friends, Shannon and Eve, don’t want to date her. Instead, they want to dress as mistresses for Halloween, and they need a slave…
It starts out as a game, but it doesn’t take long for straight girl Abby to start having some very un-straight feelings towards her friends. Along the way, there’s lots of latex, leashes, boots, corsets, and some very lucky guys who end up having some fun with the ladies…
Which of your books would you recommend for new readers to get started with?
Depends what they’re into. My best-selling book of all time is My Kinky Daughter-in-Law, about a guy who falls under the dominant spell of his son’s wife. But I can see how that might be a bit extreme for some people, especially if they’re not into chastity and cuckolding.
Teaching Him A Lesson is a fun one. When a guy falls hard for his son’s teacher, she quickly turns him into her slave. It’s one of my longest-ever stories because I got so into it, I couldn’t stop writing it. And, as kinky as it is, it’s a genuine love story.
What have you learned about publishing on Substack since you launched your Substack?
I’ve been publishing on Amazon for years now, but I’m new to Substack. It’s far more social than what I’m used to. On Amazon, the key is really to put out books as fast as you can. Substack is much more about interacting with other people.
However, it has helped me discover other writers. Your stories about Nazz are super sexy, and Giles English approaches femdom from a place of real insight rather than just selling smut like I do. It’s a very interesting place to be part of!
