Being prostituted

Being prostituted is a consensual role-play scenario where a dominant arranges for their submissive to provide sexual services to others in exchange for money or other compensation (which typically goes to the dominant). This creates a fantasy of forced prostitution within the boundaries of pre-negotiated consent.

The appeal lies in the extreme objectification and surrender of sexual agency. Submissives who enjoy this scenario often find intensity in the theatrical element of being "used" as a commodity, the humiliation of being "sold," and the ultimate expression of submission to their dominant's will. Dominants may value the profound control of directing their submissive's sexuality as a resource, the fantasy of profiting from their partner's body, and orchestrating complex scenarios involving others. This role-play requires extensive prior negotiation, clear boundaries with all involved parties, and rigorous attention to physical and emotional safety due to its psychological intensity.

About the category D/s, Power Play

Dominance and submission (D/s) and power play revolve around the consensual exchange of control between partners. This dynamic can manifest in countless ways—from bedroom-only scenarios to comprehensive lifestyle arrangements—all centered on one partner taking a controlling role while the other yields authority within negotiated boundaries.

People are drawn to power exchange for diverse reasons: the freedom found in surrender, the thrill of exercising control, the deep trust required, and the opportunity to explore aspects of themselves not expressed in everyday life. Unlike physical BDSM activities which focus on bodily sensations, D/s emphasizes psychological connection and the erotic potential of power differentials, creating experiences that many find deeply fulfilling on both emotional and sexual levels.

About the subcategory Power exchange / Protocol

Power exchange protocols establish formalized patterns of behavior between partners that reinforce and express their D/s dynamic. These may include specific language requirements, postures, rituals, or rules that symbolize and maintain the consensual power differential between participants.

People engage in protocols for the structure and clarity they bring to power exchange relationships. These practices create consistent reminders of roles, deepen the psychological aspects of submission and dominance, and provide a framework for expressing devotion and control. For many practitioners, the mindfulness required to maintain protocols creates a meditative focus that enhances connection and satisfaction beyond what more casual power dynamics might offer.
