Skip navigation! Story from Sex. August 25, , AM. There's a converted barn in Northern California with a torture chamber inside. In place of turndown service, there are flogging tools. In lieu of a minibar, the rooms come with an assortment of leather masks, whips, and chains β and a bedside basket of safer-sex supplies such as lube, condoms, and nitrile gloves.
