BDSM Terminology...


In an effort to educate those that have some curiosity or that have stumbled upon my blog posts where I rant and rave over the ignorance of some of the guys here on Adult Dating zone that say they are interested in serving as a submissive or slave to my Dominant Woman role...here is an excerpt I found in Answers (dot com) that provides a better explanation of the differences in the roles of Dominatrix vs. lifestyle Domme. I will also note that I stand corrected in that there are several interpretation and like everybody else, I took what "I" wanted to label myself and role as a Dominant Woman and what "fits" what I enjoy personally. I'm a firm believer that it doesn't hurt to keep one's mind open and aware of the differences in the various roles and how others perceive these roles.

Answers:
Professional versus lifestyle dominatrices

The term<b> dominatrix </font></b>is often used to describe a professional dominant woman (or pro-domme) who charges money to engage in fantasy play with submissive . In reality most dominatrices are not professionals, but lifestyle dominants. A lifestyle dominant is a person who is assertive and in control of their relationships both inside and outside the bedroom.


As you can surmise, the terminology can be as vast and varied as the individuals. For some folks, the terminology tends to be a bit more brash in that the Pro Domme is called a or ...understandable for sure, though taking it a step further in explanation, a and is one that solicits SEX for money whereas a Pro Domme or Dominatrix does not...BDSM activity does not necessarily involve sex, though may incorporate sexual activities in the course of a scene...most of the time, and this is strictly my personal perspective, sex is not involved in a BDSM scene...BIG DIFFERENCE!!!!

It is all in the interpretation, as well as what one is seeking with regard to a partner to help realize what it is you're seeking...be it here on Adult Dating zone or the sister site, ALT.com...I don't force my interpretation and meaning on anyone and expect the same in return. If what I seek and offer isn't your cuppa, move on!!!

I will also point out that a measure of open-mindedness would be appreciated, though I realize that is virtually impossible for some self-righteous zealots. I have been pleasantly surprised at the number of open-minded, non-judgmental folks that I have encountered here on Adult Dating zone. While it may be totally against what they enjoy and perceive, they remain non-judgmental. As in my previous rant and rave post, I do realize that there are far more out there in Adult Dating zone land that are critical and very judgmental, especially of me and gals like me. While they are absolutely right that this site is not designed for solititations, it is a site that provides EVERYONE a choice. I point out that I don't solicit, I don't do the contacting, those that have an interest come/cum to me...I point out that there is a certain measure of reading between the lines of my profile to find if there is, indeed, a commonality in what I am seeking and to some extent what I'm about as opposed to what you're seeking and what you want in a partner. If I'm the kind of gal you're seeking, then you'll see it, if not, then a "no, thanks," is all that is in order.

Again, I point out that what works for one person, is not necessarily what works for someone else...remaining open-minded and somewhat respectful of another person is a small and simple act...yet, I realize, so very difficult for most folks.

Bottomline, keep your minds open to learning...a peek into someone else's life can be fun and entertaining, not to mention educational.

Pleasure's a sin, and sometimes sin's a pleasure...

I am curious to know "your" definition of a submissive.
I agree everyone brings to the table their own perception on things, exspecially the terms used in this lifestyle.

Then I Misunderstood The Question
