Power, Roles & Scenarios

Where other categories centre on a thing or a body, this one centres on a dynamic: who holds control, who yields it, and the roles and scenarios that frame the exchange. It spans dominance and submission, bondage and discipline, master/slave and ownership dynamics, caregiver/regression and pet-play, and negotiated role-play.

Dominance and submission is the single most commonly reported interest in this directory. The defining feature of healthy practice here is consent: limits, negotiation, safewords, and aftercare. Coercive or non-consensual analogues are treated under Clinical Paraphilias, not here.
