Pro-Dom

Name for Professional Dominant (for non-professionals see Dominant). Used for a man who dominates submissives or slaves against payment. Pro-Dom meetings are known as "sessions" and are usually of limited duration. They usually take place after a reservation and an interview in which BDSM practices and scenarios that can be played are discussed in detail.

Most Professional Dominants perform their sessions with clients in more or less equipped spaces known as "dungeons" or "basements". Many submissives turn to the services of Professional Dominants not so much because of the lack of a partner, but because of the opportunity to enjoy professional play and professional equipment, which in addition to popular BDSM furnitures, usually includes serious leather bondage gear such as BDSM hoods, strightjackets, whips and floggers , wooden and leather spanking paddles and many others.

Although there are women among the Pro-Dom's clients, most Male Professional Dominants specialize in the gay BDSM market.

For Female Professional Dominants, see Pro-Domme.
