A, female dominant or femdom mistress, refers to BDSM activities where the dominant partner is female. A female dominant is sometimes called a domme (pronounced "dom" or "dom-ay") or domina. A professional female dominant is often referred to as a dominatrix. Professional dominatrices (also called "pro dommes") in particular usually give themselves a named persona, with aristocratic or deific associations, thus "Mistress", "Lady", "Madame", "Goddess", etc. In the English speaking world, "Mistress" is by far the most common dominatrix title, while in most of continental Europe, the most common title is "Domina." The most common dominatrix title in the Spanish speaking world is "Ama."
Femdom scenarios are less common than maledom scenarios in BDSM fiction, but can be found in fiction such as Venus in Furs, The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty, and the works of the artists Sardax, Namio Harukawa and Bill Ward. Conversely, femdom scenarios are more common in visual pornography, either with a female or male submissive partner(s).
The work of the artist Eric Stanton frequently depicts situations where men are being sexually dominated by women. Bettie Page is a famous American fetish model who was often photographed posing as a dominatrix with a whip while wearing fetish attire such as stockings, corsets, and high heeled shoes or boots. Today, Bettie Page has a large cult following, particularly in the punk, goth and rockabilly scenes.
Naturally, femdom activities may draw on all areas of BDSM, but there tends to be an association with radical feminism, whether seriously or fantastically. This can lead to apparent paradoxes, such as the humiliation of men by feminization, though it is readily resolved by seeing this as disclaiming traditional gender associations, and transference of coded images of weakness onto men. Strap-on play plays a significant part in this as well. The inverse of this is of course to glorify the feminine, for example in panty fetishism and boot worship.
Similarly, erotic humiliation can focus on the inadequacy of a male sub's penis (small penis humiliation), demoting it to a plaything for the dominatrix, over which the male has no real control. Related femme domme activities include cock and ball torture (CBT), verbal humiliation, forced chastity, and orgasm denial or orgasm control.
Light female domination scenarios may involve ageplay, erotic spanking, and body worship, especially foot worship and ass worship.
More intense and heavier female domination scenarios may involve facesitting or smothering, which tend to focus on the sub giving the dominant female oral pleasure, or the dominant female performing anal sex on the sub using a strap-on dildo. Other forms of more intense female domination can include face slapping, hair pulling, caning, heavy torture, dripping hot wax on the genitals and heavy whipping.
In extreme scenarios, there is a focus on exchange of bodily fluids and total forfeit of rights from the slave, acts may involve spitting domination, watersports a.k.a golden showers, fart domination, brown showers and roman showers. (However, in practice fart domination, brown showers and roman showers are not very common).
Forced feminization is where the sexual fantasy takes on an intellectual/emotional component, with men either trying to, or pretending to try to, take control, but failing. A fairly common variation on this is a rape fantasy in which there is a female dominant partner, or wrestling/fighting in which the femdom mistress is stronger than the male.
