Home-based businesses come in different varieties. Some are Internet-based, while others are product or service-oriented. So I suppose a bondage business can also be considered a home business!

One such business operated in a high-income section of Indianapolis has recently come under fire, and the city filed a lawsuit in order to close down the operation. The business owner is fighting the lawsuit, claiming that her business operated out of a dungeon in her basement where she “charges men hundreds of dollars to dress like women and be subjected to bondage and acts of degradation” has not violated any rules.

I frequently talk about zoning rules and how it affects home businesses. This one in Indiana has a different twist – it claims not to have broken any zoning rules and even neighbors have not complained about it. Of course, there’s the moral question and what-not. Read this interesting story.
