I prefer to call it the “Massa’s” bedroom. Yezza boss.
Well, OK. I suppose “sex dungeon” is gender-neutral.
Owners are OK as long as the owned is not a living thing.
How about this?
Call it “largest bedroom in the house”
That way no way is offended except the children who have smaller bedrooms. They don’t count and should be lucky to be alive and not aborted
