ORIGINAL: RedAnhedonia I have been reading a lot of different posts and threads about many different topics. I have also been talking with many different types of people. I have a question ... What are the different types of Doms?? I have talked to guys who consider themselves, Masters, Daddy Doms .... and being new ... I just want to make sure I have an idea of what is out there ... basically so I don't look foolish. Thanks any help would be totally awesome!! Hello RedAnhedonia. Now this is just an opinion on the subject. Strictly speaking about dominants, if one could be only one thing and not a mix of many (I find many lump in together style and ''substance'' in their ''labeling''): -Type of dominance: Leading (as in leadership), caring (as in nurturing), coercive-restrictive. -Styles of dominance: Traditional (reversed-traditional), boss-employee, daddy-mommy, owner etc. -Field of dominance: Sexual, non sexual. I compare it to dancers. The dance is power exchange. Dancers dance in many styles and at different formal and informal levels. They may do this recreationally or at a more or less full time endeavor. For me, all this discussion about the difference between a sub and a slave (dom master) is futile because the premise is flawed with a sophism. A slave is a sub, daddie's little girl is a sub, a traditional 1950s stereotype wife is a sub. It is like asking what is the difference between a Salsa dancer and a ''regular'' dancer. To me it makes no sense (I find it strange that few ask the difference between ChaCha and Ballet!). Another analogy (used in the OS computer world) is Ice Cream. At it's basic level Ice Cream is the power exchange. Vanilla is what we use for the non power exchange defined people. (I say non defined because there is dominance and submission in all relationships, but they may be of a punctual nature and very variable on a day to day basis.) The other flavors are just different styles. It is all Ice cream. It gets very interesting when ''you'' come up with ''your'' own flavor by mixing flavors. If you add candy,fruit and nuts? That's paradise! RL. Edit: Very bad grammar.
