As you begin to read these keep in mind that they are all loosely based off the myers-Briggs personality traits model , each woman on the planet is a beautiful and unique individual with unique inherent and charismatic traits. As we endeavour into the world of Femdom and BDSM /Fetish and sexual deviance or ( kink -sexuality ) it is important that we gain much self knowledge and understanding about our domination style , our own shadow and our talents that we naturally apply in our craft for it is our innate personalities in our gifts that we have been given that we apply to this work naturally .

Some of the following outlines are written after and inspired by dominants in my community that I love and cherish

These are by no means a finite label or a cookie cutter image of what a dominant should encompass , this is purely a fun and interesting concept I built around the many different personality archetypes that we all love and know well in our communities

Interpersonally these archetypes also align with the characteristics listed in my submatrix article on my website ( the different archetypes / traits of the submissive : sub / bottom / )

If you resonate with more than one that means you are just a fiery creature with many charisms and gifts ,it means you have evolved and learned many different facets to the work and the Phycological and Evolutionary processes they entail

Personality traits are a key factor in determining who you will fit with best as a play partner or D- Type ,may these magnificent characters inspire you and add depth to your experience as a Dominant ♥️

1 THE MATRIARCH

She is a leader by nature , a woman’s woman who magnetically attracts the attention of all that are near her , she is a glowing example of female supremacy and models this in her daily life , she gives her time and attention to building a community around her and educates with grace .

Her Domination style will likely span the spectrum from nurturing and sensual to sadist and deliciously sinister her methodology strict and consistent.

Her skills are unmatched and she has honed them with care and dedication over years of experience and commitment to the arts , her submissives are well trained ,obedient and she is high protocol . She will have a vast ammount of followers and devotees committed to servitude

Let’s all take a moment to appreciate the matriarchs , they are everywhere and they paved the way for others . ♥️ they are lights in our community 🔦

2. The teacher /Head Mistress

She is a natural teacher in everything she does , regimented and thorough in her daily life she has an insatiable appetite for knowledge and educational opportunities,Her Domination style incorporates her charism as an educator with the ability to direct her submissives with a deeply psychological approach , for it is in learning we open new doors to new deviant activities 👀, she thrives in knowing each one of her submissives is constantly engaged and learning in a scene , and there will always be a takeaway . pain and focus on discipline and self control are key factors in her play and who doesn’t like a woman in a pencil skirt and heels 👀

3.. The Baroness

The Baroness Archetype( originated 16th century )

The Og of Dominatrix Archetypes, she is a natural disciplinarian who commands respect from her sub-missives effortlessly and traditionally . Her domination style is reminiscent of the traditional baroness who emanates royalty and class , historically her methods go back centuries

The archetype is found worldwide because of her strong sense of lavish style and regimented ability to control her chattel effortlessly

She will keep a close eye on the ones she trains and her skills in training and impact play are advanced as she enjoys inflicting pain for the purpose of improving her submissives keeping them in line and disciplined . She is powerful beyond measure and strict specializing in discipline for the purpose of enlightenment

She is most likely high protocol

And enjoys tasking

Challenging her subs and making them work for every second of her time . .

All hail the Baroness

4. The Humiliatrix

This one gets off on pure raw humiliation of her submissives , her keen ability to hone in on their weaknesses and effortlessly charm them to let go fully in a scene will have any submissive kneeling in self pity as she pulls out the most sensitive of subjects for her entertainment. Humiliation fetish is a learned skill that takes time to master for it is in the understanding of humiliation physiologically and it’s impact on the male brain when in a controlled environment she will seek to break him and build him back up as she found him .

The Humiliatrix does not seek to destroy her submissive but to help him with his super ego . As she breaks him down to build him back up

Once the super ego is removed, a Humiliatrix’s work is done .

5. The Sage

The sage is a master at alchemy , her gifts are many in the world of magic, chemistry /botony and the metaphysical world.

She applies her skills and expertise in her craft by creating a unique s\D dynamic where her submissive is “under a spell “ or “mesmerized “ by her ethereal nature.

She radiates an aura of love and self confidence that attracts the kindest of submissives , for it is in her presence that they find awareness and comfort in whatever she desires , no matter what her desires in this world

Or the spiritual realm

She is a magnet for the ones that seek her divine feminine guidance and strength

6. The Mominatrix

The Mominatrix , a popular archetype within the craft and a sensual lifestylesque escape from the traditional latex clad Domina , She is a nurturing and caring Dominant with the acute and inherited ability to drive fear into any submissive that steps out of line , you don’t want to make mommy mad do you ?

👀

the dynamic she immerses herself in will often be one where the submissive can feel completely safe with her knowing that the instinctual drive she has as a dominant will always exist because it is in her nature to hold space , enforce and maintain dominance over her subs .

Littles and people who engage in age play are often for obvious reasons drawn to this archetype , make sure you don’t call anyone “mommy” before asking consent first.

7. The Manipulatrix

A mindfuck genius , this archetype has a diabolical and highly effective approach to creating a d/S dynamic for the consenting drones , the sexless hand fuckers , the lonely keyboard warriors , the rich simps and the online world of easily manipulated betas . Her best work is done online to create a world where she runs the show , device take over , babysitting cams , kidslox , teamviewer and other fun apps are a remote way for her to masterfully control her submissives wherever they are , they seek a skilled Manipulatrix like her to relinquish control to for they know she will push them to their limit and they love it .

The dynamic she creates is exciting , euphoric and terrifying at the same time . She creates Avis and devoted followers with her hypnotic and creative approach to mindfuck and dronification.

8..The Warden

This Dominant can be seen armed with a whip ready to punish her inmates , traditionally she will only be there to implement punishment or use them for her entertainment, her inmates have signed their own freedom away to be jailed by their dream warden . Her dynamic with her submissives will be most likely influenced by the way of the warden

Tactical , precise and accurate.

She relishes in the sound of her whip cracking against her inmates ass , and the rules and laws they must follow .

There is no bratting with the warden

Warden is boss , her laws and her principles are to be followed and those who do not follow and obey will be reprimanded

9. The fundamentalist

She is “classic Femdom “ incarnate , traditional elbow gloves , Leathers or tailored dress and reaking of feminine power , her style and strong presence are what make this dominant wildly popular among the traditional bottoms and subs that exist now , her work reflects a graceful combination of sadistic fun and high protocol grandeur , she at all times will be able to make her submissives push themselves for her for she is a magician when it comes to sensual and tactical domination . Shoes and stockings , garters and dresses are in her arsenal

But her mind is the sexiest thing she wields .

10. The Healer

This archetype is a natural empath , she heals wherever she goes , she is rare but present in the community , her holistic approach to BDSM is her speciality and to be fully immersed in her scenes often requires her submissives to have the objective of healing over instant gratification or worldly pleasures

For her healing takes place within the framework of her craft , the bondage methodical , her ability to guide through drops or other obstacles is ever present and she attracts the ones that want to learn about themselves . Her tasking will be a set of directions to create the best version of yourself

And with that comes trust

When you meet the healer

You will know

Immediately .

11. The Whipstress

This archetype is devoted to the art of flaggelation and traditional long range splayed whipping .

It takes a certain caliber of talent and skill to become a successful whipstress , the precision of her strikes and the strength of her whip strokes are reflected in the red scourged flank of her human canvas , cough …cough …

Her ability to dominant through the whip is a key factor in who comes to her , only the most courageous of submissives seek her for her aim is impeccable .

12. The Seductress

All this one needs is a new lingerie set and a strap on to own her submissive , her feminine and natural approach to Femdom needs no implements , no ropes no chains , all she needs is a good submissive slut to own and some good lube . She thrives in a bedroom setting and is very much focused on the textures the vibe and overall power exchange between her and her play. partner, she is soft sensuous and makes anyone she plays with melt .

She doesn’t need a paddle

Her seduction is her weapon

13. The Sadist

We all know a sadist , the one that laughs when people fall down , the one that has a dark sense of humour , the one that is most likely also the person in their friend group to be the antagonist and the critic , she revels in the strokes of her cane as her masochist play partner writhes in agony she can be seen giggling in the corner choosing her next implement

She builds a strong and beautiful connection with her subs , her sadistic spirit pushes them to end of their pain threshold as she enjoys watching . Her domination

Style is strict , high protocol and elegant .

She knows the masochist brain

She dabbles in it often

And pain is her paint brush

14. The Giantess

She exists to crush tiny men , hypothetically and figuratively. Her submissives fantasies are often more geared toward to shrinking and consuming of a tiny man , or woman . In her roleplay schematic she will shrink her submissives and play with them , threaten to destroy them and squash them like tiny bugs , ( yes this is a real fetish ) over the last 20 years this fetish has become wildly popular and many are seeking a giantess for that ultimate shrinking experience that only a giantess can provide

The necessary physcological guidance one needs to be shrunk only she will understand .

Female supremacy lives on with this woman.

15.The Weaponatrix

This one is all about the blades and the weapons , she is fueled by a disciplined spirit and a desire to break the stigma that exists around women and weapons .

Her demeanour is cold and dangerous, her domination style tactical and calculated , she will often be interested in Interogation , abduction , fear play , bondage , confinement

And intense pain training , or anything to do with shoring off her arsenal

She never uses the swords , knives , tasers , razor blades , needles , cattle prods and torture techniques,.. she just threatens to use them 👀

In a scene …..

Consensually and safely

16. The banker

This dominant exists everywhere because money exists everywhere, the dynamic she seeks with her submissives is one rooted in money , the financial power exchange is what interests her most

Money and it’s complexities are interwoven into a power exchange that exists for the purpose of financially benefiting her only .

The numerous arrangements I have observed over the years range from small tributes to large, however I truly feel that financial domination exists when a submissive fully surrenders his finances .

The “fin sub “ or “Paypig’” only function in the dynamic is to be financially controlled , she takes great pleasure in making him pay . Submissives that are drawn to this archetype often are looking for a adrenaline rush and a dose of self control that comes after when his limits are met , traditional old school findom ( financial domination ) is a very popular Kink and the banker has a role to play in findom

As a true preserver of the kink

She will not look to obtain tiny tributes she will look to obtain the full assets from a submissive in a contract or agreement

Tithing and absolute financial power are what she is seeking.

Menial and low wage subs are not her interest .

17.The Brat Tamer

This dominant is a true hero for she specializes in the role of brat tamer , the patience and determination to make a brat listen and “ behave” are not for the faint of heart , the communication and understanding that it requires is capacious , her presence and commanding authority will always remain strong even in the face of the most difficult brat , she will remain calm , steady and confident in her abilities, she will not react but respond with stability and assurance

Brats all over the world seek a dominant to “handle” them

In a non reactive way , as to suit their needs and desires.

God love the brat tamer

18. The sensualist / rigger

Rope and all things confinement are her happy place , she uses her submissives to make art , seductively wrapped and bound , contorted to her preference .

She has a creative flair for making her art methodical , satisfying and euphoric for her rope bottom ,

As she ties and pulls knots to affix her masterpiece she takes great pride in her work and the feeling it produces for both her and her bound submissive

When the knots come un done she relishes in the moment the submissive is in a euphoric state unbound and free .

Here are some historical facts about the Dominatrix:

Origins and Early References: The concept of a female figure embodying dominance has historical roots. In the 18th century, there were “Birch Disciplinarians” who advertised their services in books like “Fashionable Lectures” (c. 1761), where 57 women, including actresses and courtesans, offered birch discipline fantasies.
Golden Age of the Governess: The 19th century is often referred to as the “Golden Age of the Governess,” where flagellation practices were prevalent. By the 1840s, at least twenty establishments in London were documented as “Houses of Discipline,” distinct from brothels, and were run by women known as “dominatrix governesses.”
Victorian Era: The Victorian period saw an increase in the commercialization of BDSM practices. Women like Theresa Berkley, who invented the “Berkley Horse” for flagellation, were notable figures during this time, operating within a grey legal area and catering to a niche but growing clientele.
20th Century Evolution: The early 20th century saw the underground and secretive operation of dominatrices, with rare photographs surviving from the 1950s-60s showing real Mistresses like Miss Doreen in London. This era was marked by social stigma and legal ambiguity regarding BDSM practices.
Modern Times: The profession became more visible and somewhat normalized in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Anne O Nomis has been instrumental in documenting the history through her research, books, and courses, which highlight the cultural and historical significance of the dominatrix.
Cultural Impact: Dominatrices have left a mark on popular culture, influencing art, fashion, and media. The term “dominatrix” has been used in a broader sense to describe any woman who takes a dominant role in BDSM activities, although it is most commonly associated with professional sex workers.

These facts illustrate the evolution of the dominatrix role from secretive practices in historical contexts to a more recognized and discussed aspect of modern sexual culture that continues to evolve in present day .
