A Dominant can be either gender Male or Female but female dominants are usually refered to as Domme, Mistress, Ma'am or professional Dommes choose to be called a Dominatrix. What the Domme is called is soley under her descretion and what suits her. Same goes for male Doms, some prefer to be called simply a Dom and others to be called Lord, Master or simply Sir once again is up to the Dom and what he desires for his submissive or slave to call him. Now back to the 24/7 aspect of the lifestyle many D/s couples do desire to live this lifestyle fully 24 hours a day is thier way of life and the commitment they enjoy together. Now no one can tell you whether you are one who can live a 24/7 D/s relationship or not. You have to be the one to decide that for yourself and how deep of a commitment to the lifestyle you wish to make. For many is just a bedroom thing behind locked doors just between a couple who wishes to spice up thier sex life. And there is nothing wrong with that at all! :) Is a very good and healthly way to do so if ya ask me. And for some is hard for them to let others know in thier circle of life and friends just how kinky they truely are. As well as employers some could not get away with wearing a collar to work for many that would be impossible. And yes we will get to collars soon enough *smiles* Ok now let's break down the roles of a Dominant and a submissive or slave.
First let us start with the Dominant and his or her role as the case may be. A Dominant has certain responsibilities to the sub they choose to play with or collar. Upon taking the role as a Dominant. A "true" Dominant will assume the responsiblity to care for the submissive or slave at all times during thier sessions play or otherwise. To make sure the submissive or slave is safe and not in danger at any time. To have full knowledge of what He or She is doing before even attempting to step into that role. Always putting the welfare and well being of thier submissive or slave FIRST and foremost. So many think they are a Dominant or it just sounds good to them. They fail to see the reality of the situation and the harm they can inflict upon the other if certain steps and precautions aren't taken. This would be my warning to ALL that wish to engage in any D/s and power play. Get to know the other person before engaging in any form of D/s relationship or play. So many out there claim to be and are what I consider to be and call "wannabe" Dominants. Continued
