Thinking of becoming a dominatrix? Here at Off The Record Models, our female founded cam agency leads the way for women who want to specialise in niches on cam. BDSM is highly popular fetish. As cam girls ourselves, we know all the tricks of the industry to help you succeed as a domme. In this week’s blog, we detail how you can become a successful dominatrix.
What is a Dominatrix?
A dominatrix, also known as a domme or dom, is a woman, or woman-identifying person who takes pride and pleasure in physically, psychologically or even financially dominating their submissive, also known as a sub. On cam, dominatrix’s explore kinks within the BDSM (bondage, domination, sadism and masochism) genre.
Is This A Niche You’re Passionate About?
Before you branch in the world of domination, be sure this is a niche you’re passionate about and can commit too. You can learn the skills easily but playing this persona, delving into the world of BDSM and becoming a dominatrix isn’t for the fainthearted. It’s a role that requires dedication, but most of all, a genuine passion for what you do. A lack of sincerity means that your role becomes less authentic, which will affect your customer base. This is a role that requires you to immerse yourself fully when the camera is on.
This being said, it’s important to remember that your dominatrix persona is separate from your personality in day-to-day life. Ensure that your work-life schedule is firmly in place and that you have time to switch off, disconnect and clearly differentiate between the two. Working this niche can be intense and exhausting, so clear separation is a must.
Confidence is Key
As you would imagine, becoming a good dominatrix requires a lot of confidence and perseverance. Confidence comes with repetition. The more you do something, the better you’ll get and the more confident you’ll become. As a dominatrix, you must adopt the mentality of ‘what you say goes’. Your client’s book in time with you to be dominated, to be told what to do and to enjoy being in your presence! Remember, you are a goddess; believe every word you are saying to your clients. Don’t be afraid to experiment with boundaries and challenge yourself.
To further increase your confidence, make sure you dress the part for personal empowerment. Learn how to use props to incorporate into your sessions. Using them on cam will be different to in person and will further enhance your role online. To set you apart from the competition, look into specific kinks within the domination genre – for example, findom, roleplay, humiliation, orgasm control, punishment, to name a few. Experiment with what interests you and what you think you could play well.
Keep Lines of Communication Open
Becoming a dominatrix is as much about the listening and communication as it is the roleplay. Ensure that you clearly state what you offer in your profile, this helps to avoid miscommunication from the very start. Likewise, establish what your clients are after and where the boundaries are to ensure a satisfying, yet safe session every time. Clear communication is key to guarantee a successful dominatrix cam session. Remember, each session will have different requirements, so don’t rush, ensure you’re both on the same page and work your magic. Attentive and fulfilling experiences result in increased income!
