Dominance

Dominance is a personality trait of dominant and ruling individuals. Since playing with a power exchange is an important part of BDSM, dominant people are widespread in the scene. For dominant personalities, "Dom" is often the most common choice in the category of active roles. A Dom exercises control in a play or permanent relationship. This control can be physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, or a combination of several aspects. "Dominant" is actually gender-neutral, but the abbreviation is often understood to refer to a man, while the terms "Domme" and "Femdom" have been established for female Doms. Here at Deviance, you'll find everything about dominance in the context of BDSM.
