Master

Lifestyle Glossary · BDSM

Master is a title that some adults choose within a negotiated Dom/Sub or power-exchange dynamic. The title can carry personal meaning, but it does not establish authority over anyone outside the specific relationship or scene in which it has been agreed. It is also distinct from Dungeon Master, a title that may refer to a venue or community role.

Titles work only when the people using them share an understanding of their meaning and limits. Clear boundaries, ongoing consent, and mutual respect remain more important than any label.
