How to Be a Good Dom: BDSM Basics

Ready to bend your sub over and give them a good caning? 💥🍑 Wanna gag them and lock them up in chastity so they have to beg you to cum? 🥺💦 Pull their hair, spit on them, slap them across their pretty face? 🥵

Well, listen up, because we’re gonna tell you how to be a good Dom that leaves your subs squirming in ecstasy and pleading for more! 😛 Intrigued? Read on… 😏👇

It’s the attitude ⛓

If you wanna know how to Dom for your oh-so-obedient sub, you gotta sell the fantasy, baby! 😜🙏 Even something as simple as your title tells part of the story, before, during and after dominant sex. 😏 You could be…

  • Daddy 🧔🏻‍♂️
  • Mistress 😜
  • Sir 🥺
  • Supreme 🙌
  • Goddess 🧎
  • Master 🔥
  • Mr / Mrs “X” 🎭
  • Or simply Dom / Domme! 😈

And you don’t have to stick to one during sexual domination, so play around and see what makes you feel sexy and powerful. 🖤

💡 Dom Tip: You’re in charge here, so have your sub call you whatever you want during sexual domination. A Domme can also be a Daddy! A Master can also be a Goddess! Pick a few names, invent your own – there’s no limit to our kinky imaginations… 🤤☁️

You might have developed your own style when learning how to be a good Dom, but remember to be flexible and adaptable to the needs of your sub. 👌 Marry your desires with theirs – give them exactly what they want, just in your own way. That’s how to be a Dom the right way! 💪

Let’s say, for example, that your sub is eager to explore military roleplay, and your thing is inflicting punishment. 😈 Bring these two worlds together. 🌎🤝🌎 Dress yourself up and chastise them as you bend them over and give them a good spanking for being so naughty! 💥🍑 Ooooooh fuck, yes officer, I won’t do it again… 😩🤤

Ultimately, the most important part of your attitude as a Dom is your confidence, control and composure. 😉 This doesn’t mean that you have to know everything – you just need to stay calm, cool and collected. 🧘 And always be open to learning from your sub so you can better fulfil all their filthy fantasies and continue to learn how to Dom better for your sub. ✊

Follow the rules of safe sex 😘

Communication is the key to all great sex, so chat to your sub before the session and learn about their desires. 👅 Make comments, ask questions… Get horny together as you chat through all the kinky scenarios you’re gonna be acting out during dominant sex! ⛓

Even though you’re the one in charge, respect your sub’s boundaries and discuss safewords in advance. 👌 If in doubt, keep it simple with a traffic light system – yellow means “we’re approaching a boundary, so tread carefully”, and red means “stop right now”. 🚦❌ A safe gesture is a good idea too – who knows what your sub will be gagging on… 😷😜

Let your sub know before the session that you will listen to them and their needs. Make it clear that they can stop at any time, for any reason. 🖐️

💡 Dom Tip: Safewords aren’t just for your sub! Domming is an intense practice, so you’re allowed to use your safeword and take a break if you start to get overwhelmed. As always, just communicate your needs! 🙌

Wanna know how to be a good Dom? A good Dom can read their sub’s emotional and mental state easily during a kinky sex sesh. Ask yourself: do they look present, or do you think they might be dissociating? 🤔 If in doubt, just check in. You have an emotional responsibility to your sub as well as a physical one. 🥰

Trust is earned, not demanded. ☝️ Like in any relationship, the trust in a Dom/sub dynamic takes time to build up – so don’t expect your sub to be completely comfortable with you right away. 🤷‍♀️

Just keep showing them a good time! 🥳 Touch them exactly where they like, make their tender parts tingle, indulge in their filthiest fetishes… 😈 Let’s say they’re into erotic humiliation – tell them they’re a worthless pig, a pathetic brat, just a hole to be used by you… 🥺 They’ll be putty in the palm of your hand before you know it. 😜

Indulge 😈

Right, so you’ve created your character, you’ve found your subs, you’ve earned their trust, you’ve got safewords in place… Now it’s time to let loose. 🥵🌶

How to be a dominant isn’t all about being serious or rough – be playful with your subs! 😜 For lots of us kinksters, BDSM is an escape from the everyday. Sex should be fun! 😘

A common misconception about how to Dom is that you have to be stoic and solid, but in fact the opposite is true. 🤯 During sexual domination, every sub has different needs, and no two kinky sex seshes are the same, so enjoy the variety! Try out different techniques and approaches to sex – you don’t have to stick to exactly what you think you should be doing. 🤷‍♀️ Be authentic to your desires and great sex will follow. 💦 That’s how to be a good Dom.

One day you’re using toys to stretch your sub’s tight hole as they scream in erotic ecstasy, and the next day you’re laying down on the couch as they lick your sweaty feet clean. 👅🦶🤤 All in the life of a Dom! ⛓😜

Okay you horny sluts, who’s up for round 2? 😈💦
