Tibetan nun becomes fetish queen FROM OM TO DOM

FOR years Damcho Dyson’s only habit was her squeakyclean religious robe – now she has swapped it for something more... squeaky.

Damcho lived a simple life of chastity for a decade and was once an attendant to the Dalai Lama.

But she says a massage while on a trip to India reawakened her sexuality – and turned her into Britain’s naughtiest nun.

Now, after quitting her Tibetan Buddhist monastery in France, she spends her weekends cavorting in latex at fetish clubs.

Damcho, 45, said: “I’d been celibate for ten years and, as a nun, my practice meant my brain was able to override my bodily needs.

“But lying there having that massage I had an epiphany. I suddenly had a sense of the vitality in my body and decided the time was right to leave the monastery.” But it wasn’t until she was in London in 2011 and passed the window of a shop selling fetish clothing that Damcho

realised wearing rubber could be what was missing in her new life.

She said: “I’d been a nun for ten years and was open to new opportunities. When I spotted the shop I thought, ‘Why not?’

“The first time I tried on latex I felt empowered. It compliments the female form and felt reminiscent of the ritual wearing of Buddhist robes.

“The shop owner and I became friends and she introduced me to the latex scene.

“I went to a club feeling all risqué but I saw other people wearing top- to- toe latex and rubber masks and realised I was actually quite conservative.

Liberating

“I find the whole thing amazing and intriguing. It’s really liberating.”

Damcho, of Wandsworth, South London, was 23 when she first thought about being a nun. Six years later she l eft her native Melbourne, Australia, for Nepal.

Her vows meant she never had children. Damcho, who is crowdf unding her PhD e x p l o r i n g human rituals, says she has no regrets in life.

She said: “I travelled around the Himalayas. It was i ncredibly enriching and inspiring. Now I want to continue my contemplative adventure using a different medium.”

“I still feel a bit like a naughty nun.

“But I’m a middleaged woman who has always liked to express herself, so why not? “I’m finally letting my hair down when I once

used to shave it all off.”
