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 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
I've made a change. Feel free to directly chip in on any of these pages now you see I've done the "first pass". After all, it's often easier to see what's wrong or missing that to come up with the original, so don't hold back. I've done I've done this page, Dom, Top (BDSM), Slave, Sub and Bottom (BDSM). I'll be moving on to the feminine form of these terms next. --Interesdom 22:30, 4 Apr 2005 (BST)
