Behind the shoot retrospective- Spikey Step with Spring and Alexandra
Spikey step - Alexandra and spring
As previously mentioned the shoots at Spikey Step were very intense. About a year after my first shoot I volunteered to help Andrea with another NYC based shoot. Knowing a bit more of what to expect this time I made sure mentally I was prepared for a long day of ballbusting.
Similar to previous Spikey Step shoots, Andrea packed in a long day at a NYC dungeon, using four male models and a slew of mistresses to participate. I had gotten there in the early afternoon and the shooting was already underway. I jumped in to one of the shoots in progress with the bigger guy that everyone who watches Spikey step knows takes a ton of beatings. He was working with another male model and this model was definitely hurting.
Off camera, one of the mistresses was a little teary eyed saying she didn’t want to hurt him anymore. Which was a first dealing with hired professionals like a mistress/dominatrix. However the dungeon master (it was either Spring or another mistresses) gave her a pep talk and back into the room she went. At this point there were 4-5 mistresses and two of us male models (me and the big guy) and the mistresses were kicking the shit out of us. I definitely got thrust right into the fire with barely any time to get the tolerance going. I was definitely hurting but soldiered on.
The mistresses who was hesitant to hurt us any more was still a little distraught about it. I think she had other issues going on in her life that was making her very emotional. At one point I was on my hands and knees before her and I could tell she was upset. She was kicking me lightly and Andrea stopped the action and started to yell at her and yell at the other women to ratchet up the intensity.
I told the model to just focus on kicking me hard and don’t worry about hurting me. The cameras turned back on and she slowly started to kick away eventually kicking me so hard she started to cry and left the set.
Spring (the red head) and Alexandra (the tall blond, no relation to the other legendary Alexandra) were mad at Andrea for his reaction and insensitive comments as they were protecting their worker. However from Andrea’s side he was paying money for action and felt like he wasn’t getting what he paid for. That led to some heated discussion and ramped up the intensity further in the room.
Which led to Spring and Alexandra taking it out on the two of us males. I mean it was a brutal beatdown and there was nothing held back. Their anger with the situation with Andrea and their distressed friend was definitely palatable.
After about 15 minutes of getting my ass kicked, Alexandra took off her shoes and went barefoot which I thought would be a relief for me but turns out hurt worse than kicking with her shoes on. I had only done a few barefoot shoots before and only one or two while naked so this was a bit of a new experience.
I quickly got a lesson on how powerful a woman could be barefoot as Alexandra nearly broke my balls that day. I think I let out a high pitched scream at one point after she stomped me square in the balls. I had never had that reaction before so you know that I was hurt. They eased up a bit on me and went after the big guy before coming back to me. All in all we had about 30 minutes of non stop brutality at the hands and feet of 3-4 mistresses.
But Alexandra definitely destroyed me without mercy or pity. There was no thanking her either after as that was a pure annihilation of my balls. If you asked me to this day who hurt you the most in a shoot, Alexandra would definitely be in the top 5.
But Andrea wanted, if not demanded, more and all of the models were physically and emotionally exhausted at that point. I was hurting and I know the big guy was feeling it too. Spring was the leader (dungeon master) and decided she would give more to Andrea but told her girls to take a break.
Spring was mad at everyone and anyone and I really feared of what she would do to punish us. She worked on both the big guy and myself, both at once and alternating. At this point my balls were so tender and sore that even the smallest flick of her fingers against me felt like she was hitting me with a hammer. She had squeezed me so hard I could literally feel my testicles pulsing (I know that screen grab pic of me with pain etched across my face was used in their promo materials for the shoot.
I was definitely in trouble and told her I literally couldn’t take anymore. So she’d give me a breather and come back to work on me some more.
I always prided myself on taking whatever I could for as long as I could. But after about 2 hours of ballbusting I was definitely at my limit and begging her to stop. The big guy was hurting too as he had been filming for around 4 hours at that point. But Spring knew she could push us harder and he could see the agony on my face. I apologized to him as I needed some breaks so he was taking the brunt of it for me.
After dismissing me action wise she worked on him for an extra 10 minutes or so and he was close to being broken. At that point it’s more mental anguish than physical pain. Your body just wants to shut down and I could tell he was just mentally and physically exhausted.
Andrea had one of the other models come in with Spring to do some quick photos and staged hits for promo purposes as sometimes those worked better than using video stills.
I took a few pics and Spring was grabbing my balls for the picture and she wasn’t holding back. At that point I was practically in tears. She was unsympathetic for sure.
She went over to the big guy for a few pics and she was pinching one of his balls and holding it, and I thought his eyes were gonna pop out of his head. After that photo was done Andrea reminded him he still had one more shoot left to go that day with two new models (I gracefully bowed out from continuing much to Andrea’s disappointment).
I went over to him and gave him admiration for what he was able to take. I noticed he had a little water buildup in his eye as Spring had isolated and was squeezing his swollen testicle during the pictures we just took. I remarked how I rather be kicked a thousand times than have one testicle squeezed like that and he laughed and agreed. I told him that I don’t know how he does it and wished him well in the next shoot which luckily for him was more trampling focused.
It takes a lot of courage and a bit of stubbornness to do this films. But to do them, especially this intense, for 5-6 hours in a row borderlines on insanity. You need to be a glutton for punishment and push yourself beyond what you think you can handle. I know people say he was never broken in a shoot but trust me - you can see in a man’s eyes when they’ve been pushed beyond the point of their threshold and he was definitely at that point. And Spring wanted to be the one to make him say mercy.
It was the last shoot I did with Spikey Step. Not that they weren’t great to work with but the grueling days and just overall intensity of the day wasn’t for me. I much preferred the joy of the novice kicker discovering their love of ballbusting. But it was certainly an honor to work with Andrea and these top echelon ballbusting icons and the end result were some amazing videos.
