Definition of Dominatrix & Femdom
"A Woman who physically or psychologically dominates Her partner in a sadomasochistic encounter." - Merriam Webster. However, many non-binary, gender-queer people or woman-aligned folks identify as Dominatrices as well.
​
​
Femdom refers to Female Domination. Other labels that surround Female Domination includes 'Mistress', 'Domme', 'Domina', 'Lady', 'Queen' and etc. Ideally, there will be Power Exchange which involves Mistress/slave dynamics. Without it, She is considered as a service top for the receiving bottom.
Is there a difference between Professional & Lifestyle Dominatrix?
They are different but none is better than another. Some factors to consider is the understanding of and attitude to one's own kink as well as personal life circumstances.
​
For some, professional domination is a career for them. A professional Dominatrix provides domination/power-exchange services to clients who seek for fetish gratification. It is a no-strings-attached tailored experience.
​
A client will hire a Professional Dominatrix typically by the hour to receive domination as and when they feel like it. There will be strictly no intimacy or sexual acts involved. Requesting for it will get you instantly blacklisted. If you're seeking for such acts, kindly search for fetish-friendly escorts instead.
​
On the other hand, a lifestyle Dominatrix, as the name suggests, is one that dominates as an aspect of their personality and as a part of their lifestyle. More importantly, a lifestyle Dominatrix seeks for compatibility, or in other words, whether he/she has the qualities that She seeks out for in Her submissive. However, She is compensated differently depending on Her terms.
