Dom/Sub

Dom/Sub (Dominant/Submissive) describes a consensual power dynamic in which one person takes a dominant role and the other takes a submissive role. The dominant partner leads, directs, or controls aspects of the encounter, while the submissive partner yields to that direction. Dom/Sub dynamics can range from mild to intense and can be confined to sexual encounters or extend into other aspects of a relationship. All Dom/Sub dynamics must be fully consensual, negotiated in advance, and include clear safe words or signals to stop at any time.
