A professional dominant is a sex worker who performs the dominant role in BDSM activities in exchange for money. Most professional dominants do not have sex in exchange for money, and do not regard themselves as prostitutes.
Most professional dominants are female, as most customers of professional dominants are submissive heterosexual males who choose to be dominated by a member of the opposite sex. However, there are also male professional dominants serving gay men, and both straight and gay women can also be customers of professional dominants.
A female dominant is known as a dominatrix, and the term is often used as a synonym for a female professional dominant. A pro domme is another term used for a female professional dominant.
A professional dominant may either work by themselves (often with a maid or minder present) or in an establishment with other professional dominants. Professional dominants advertise in specialist contact magazines, as well as on the Web; there are a number of Web-based directories for professional dominants.
Services provided by professional dominants include:
Typically, the services of professional dominants are booked in advance, as with other professional services.
Depictions of professional dominants
The fictional film Maîtresse, starring Gérard Depardieu and Bulle Ogier, depicted a professional dominant.
Nick Broomfield's documentary Fetishes depicted the activities of a number of professional dominants at Pandora's Box, a professional domination house in New York.
Using the psychological and theatrical tools of the professionaldominatrix, Lisa Robyn shows women how to role-play their way to success by employing the tactics of the six mistress archetypes of The Corporate Dominatrix: Goddess, Queen, Amazon, Governess, Nurse, and Schoolgirl.
For a dominatrix in everyday life, the key to effectiveness lies in being switchable–knowing when to be firm and direct and when to be flexible and accommodating. A Corporate Dominatrixdominates without being domineering and is submissive to authority (when necessary) without being subservient.
She stands up for her rights in an open and straightforward way, and she is confident enough to intuit what her clients or colleagues want and she responds accordingly.
A dominatrix (from the Latin dominatrix, meaning a female ruler or mistress; plural dominatrices or dominatrixes) or mistress is a woman who takes the dominant role in bondage and discipline, domination and submission or sado-masochistic sexual practices, which are commonly abbreviated as BDSM.
The stereotyped image of a dominatrix is of a woman wearing a rubber or leather catsuit and thigh-length boots with high heels or, in a more elegant and teasing mode, fl lingerie, stockings and high heels, or some combination of these two alternatives.
The popular DC comic books character Catwoman bears a strong dominatrix motif: her stylized mask, the skintight outfit and the whip, in combination with her strong-willed and at the same time sultry personality are the most striking of these characteristics.
