Here you will find some explanations on the words used

A Dominant man is usually called "Dominant", "Dom", "Top" or "Master".

A Submissive woman is either called "submissive" "bottom" "sub" or "slave".

Top/bottom originate from the gay world; Master/slave have their roots in pornography. You will note that the Dominant abbreviations always start with a capital letter, and the submissive abbreviations in small caps.

Sexuality is always understated in these words. And the words Master and slave used in these pages imply a sexual relationship to the benefit of both and not only the Master, as it is commonly believed.

"Sadist" and "masochist" are rarely used, although some subs may say they are "masochistic" as well, meaning they (predominantly) enjoy pain impulses.

The classic word we shall use for what we both are into, is some combination of "sadomasochism" S&M, SM or BDSM (Bondage, Domination, Sadism and Masochism). You may encounter all these abbreviations in these pages.

Abuse is when no consent is taken or given. I will only accept you as my submissive slave after you have given me your knowledgeable consent. Read more about abuse in the page "What you should know before getting in touch with me" at Master@mySexMaster.com
