In our previous sex-workers relationship guide, we discussed the hardships of maintaining healthy relationships while being a sex worker. This week we’ll continue in a similar fashion, diving into the BDSM scene. Dominas are considered sex workers, even though sex isn’t always a part of their job. Today, we’ll explore how they can stay emotionally distant despite the bond this type of relation creates. Being a dominatrix involves a deep understanding of power dynamics, consent, and the ability to create a safe space for exploration. It’s important to remember that people can have different levels of emotional involvement. However, maintaining professionalism and boundaries is essential in this role. Not everyone can handle this, as an emotional bond of some sort is a vital part of most BDSM relations.
Who is considered a Dominatrix?
Let’s start with a simple definition: a dominatrix, or a domina, is a person who takes the female dominant role in BDSM activities. This can involve a wide range of things, from physical domination to psychological control. It’s crucial to understand that the role of a dominatrix is not about inflicting harm or exerting power without consent. Instead, it’s about creating a mutual power exchange where both parties feel safe and respected. Often, their job is sex-oriented, but it’s not necessary. However, as one may use different escorts each week, people usually tend to stick to one dominatrix for extended periods of time. A bond between a sub and their domina is strong and takes time to build, this is also why it’s important to maintain a certain mindset and level of professionalism. Typically, dom-sub relations are only applicable after using a special start word or in a particular room, to make a certain distinct between how you treat each other. This means, you can be a professional escort that doubles as a dominatrix, or just act like one for your partner.
Boundaries and expectations
One of the most crucial aspects of being a good dominatrix without the emotional involvement is setting clear boundaries and expectations. This involves open communication with clients (or even partners) about what is and isn’t acceptable during sessions. One of such things is establishing a safe word or signal that allows the submissive to communicate discomfort or the need to stop the activity. Some couples that partake in this kind of fun also have a secret word which marks the start and end of each session. The reasoning is that they treat each other very differently as a couple and as a domina and sub, it’s also a way of emotional detachment, just on a smaller scale. Before the very first BDSM session with your new sub, talk with them and make a list of all your desires, needs, deal-breakers, boundaries, and expectations going forward. This list can be expanded as you go on, but make sure it’s all discussed and agreed upon.
Emotionally emotional detachment
Maintaining professionalism is the key to being a professional dominatrix without emotional involvement. A clear understanding of the boundaries and expectations is essential, even if many people want to skip the boring parts. It’s important to remember that while the role of a domina involves creating intense and personal experiences, it should not lead to emotional involvement, of both parties, beyond the agreed-upon boundaries. At the end of the day, regardless of what you’ve done during your BDSM session, it shouldn’t mean anything outside of it.
These steps will help you access the situation and make sure you remain a fully professional sex worker:
- Boundaries: As we always stress, communication is of the utmost importance, that means establishing clear boundaries and expectations with your clients before each session is crucial. This ensures that both parties are aware of what is acceptable and what is not, that also includes possible contact outside the meetings.
- Detachment: A domina should maintain a professional demeanour throughout the session. This means avoiding emotional involvement and safeguarding both parties’ emotional well-being. Be clear about your emotions, and don’t be afraid to pull away or even stop seeing each other for a while if you think either of you is getting too attached. While the closure is good, too much of it can have dire consequences.
- Safety: It’s crucial to prioritise the physical and emotional safety of both yourself and your clients. This can be achieved by sticking to the agreed-upon boundaries and being attentive to any signs of discomfort. Furthermore, if the planned activities include more brutal methods, you should always keep a first-aid kit at hand.
- Consent: It’s a fundamental aspect of any relationship, including the BDSM agreements. Always prioritize the concept of safe, sane, and consensual activities. This involves respecting your client’s limits and ensuring that they are comfortable throughout the session.
- Aftercare: Apart from treating possible wounds and cleaning up, it’s also crucial to debrief. Debriefing, in the context of a dominatrix-client relationship, refers to the process of discussing and reflecting on the session. After each encounter, you should both talk and make sure that both of you are emotionally stable, comfortable, and satisfied. This can involve discussing any emotional responses that arose during the session and addressing them professionally.
How much is too much?
While emotional detachment is important, it’s also crucial to approach the role with empathy and understanding. A good dominatrix understands the needs and desires of her clients, or partners, and respects their boundaries. Remember that not only your feelings can get hurt.
You have to be sure that your submissive feels safe, in all ways, this is one of the reasons why consent is a crucial factor in every successful and fulfilling BDSM activity. Obtaining informed consent before engaging in any BDSM activities, discussing limits, and constantly checking on your submissive throughout the process is all part of this. Conversation and active listening are extremely vital, which you have to explain to your future clients.
Apart from mental well-being, physical health should also be strictly monitored. Keep a first-aid kit at hand and remember about regular doctor’s visits along with STDs checks for you and your clients. Don’t ignore it, even if your BDSM sessions don’t revolve around penetrative sex. Many diseases can be transmitted via other body fluids and are equally dangerous. In case you on your sub want to try some recreational drugs, or other enhancements, make sure none of you have underlying medical conditions and that they come from a reliable source.
Being a good dominatrix without emotional involvement isn’t an easy task, but it’s a must if you want to make it your career path. It’s essential to set clear boundaries, and prioritize the safety and well-being of both yourself and the submissive. Staying emotionally indifferent is hard for all sex workers, as their job creates a very intimate atmosphere, but without it, you can seriously hurt your feelings and mental health. We hope this sex guide proved useful to you, but remember that it’s not a magical recipe for success. A professional domina has to have a deep understanding of her emotional triggers and the ability to manage them effectively. If all else fails, join a community of other sex workers and create a support network. Don’t be ashamed, there are thousands of other people going through similar, if not the same, struggles. Acknowledging the emotional demands of your job and actively seeking ways to protect physical, mental and emotional health are all important steps in excelling as a dominatrix. We wish you all the best on your journey!
