What do you think of when you hear....  

the image that comes to my mind is very common. a lady wearing an eye mask probably, tight, leather black or red skimpy clothes, boots, and a whip in her hand and usually with curly hair. hehehe

Hi Aingealicia,
Hmmm, I think someone that likes being dominant for sexual satisfaction. When I hear this term I in vision A lady wearing lots of leather, carrying a whip and a guy wearing ladies lingerie handcuffed to a chair. It also brings to mind a dungeon with lots of devices designed for torture. Sounds like an interesting concept that maybe someday I'll try.
Take care, Terry

Sexy woman in high-heeled boots and dressed in leather, perhaps a leather mini-skirt, or maybe just a bikini or thong bottom (black is my favorite). Leather bra...is nice too. Of course, the most important thing is the attitude. Confident with just a touch of arrogance, yet playful and seductive. A woman who knows how to own a man, by lulling him into her web with her sexiness and then tease him and handle him with a firm hand (perhaps a spanking, perhaps fondling him), truss him up like a Thanksgiving turkey, run her fingernails lightly over his body and verbally tease and humiliate him into ecstasy.

When I think of a dominatrix I think of a woman in a black vinyl or leather cat suit-like outfit with a long black whip and long black hair in a pony tail, wearing gothic like makeup. She would be wearing very tall black stiletto high hooker kind of boots. She could also perhaps be holding handcuffs as well. She would also be very demanding!

LOL honestly...I think of one of the greatest paying side jobs I ever had ;-)

an exceptionaly beautiful woman in 6 inch spike heels,black leather,don't know about the whip thing as is usually shown in illustrations and t.v.shows, party's,pleasure,excitement i am out of touch with such things,but each to their own if that's what turn's them on,what people do on their own or behind closed door's is no-one's business but their own.
