I disagree with the dominants not being masochists - it is a fairly common type of switch. Think of a Venn Diagram allowing all possible intersections of sadist/dominant and bondage top. PallandoZi
My text allows that a Dom MIGHT be a masochist. A switch is not a dom and I think where my text falls down is not covering the issue of switches within a sentence under dom and top, or the See Also. I haven't touched the Dominant reference (yet) but see that does mention switches. --Interesdom 18:30, 4 Apr 2005 (BST)
I have moved the 'Context' section to a new page called BDSM Roles. --Interesdom 19:20, 4 Apr 2005 (BST)
I've done this page, Dom and Top (BDSM) and intend moving on to Slave, Sub and Bottom (BDSM) next. I'd prefer to have some discussion/edits before continuing, though. Unless someone else beats me to it, I'll move on to the feminine form of these roles after the generic/masculine form. --Interesdom 00:00, 3 Apr 2005 (BST)
I think we should give a lot more prominence to master being male, but note some female doms do use the word. In the UK scene, a very small fraction of female doms call themselves masters. --User:Tanos 4 Apr 2005
