Agreed.

I would say my favorite has to be Mistress Georgia Payne; before she retired and after her recent return to the scene.

Also, Domina Ava St. Marks is great, but I have not seen her in 4+ years.

Thank you for the shout out, joe!

Yes, the one time I sessioned with Mistress Georgia a few years back it was an awesome and memorable experience.

This is the kind of question that can get guys like me in trouble. I am limiting this to real dominas (not bodybuilders or escort/dominas I have seen). And for me these are ladies I have seen at least three times. They were and are ladies who had me experience things I never thought I would. And the locations were unique: dungeons, hotels, homes, in public and once on video. All were and are open and giving. And I trusted them. All were/are gorgeous in their own ways. The ones with an * are retired. They are not listed in rank order but chronologically.
Here goes:

*Mistress Belle de Jour – The legend. My first… Need I say more?
The late Mistress Ava Taurel – Met her through Belle and another legend. Intense and trusting.
*Mistress Ava/Lady Emmanulle – We did outdoor sessions at dawn on the weekends, before cell cameras
Empress Dominique – Spellbinding… and demanding
Mistress Rachel Fine – Imaginative and open, but in complete control
Goddess Severa – Physically intimidating, but a kind person. She is listed on the wb270.com because of her physical attributes and athletic training, but a true domina
*Goddess Vegas – Also met Vegas via wb270.com site but she was not a bodybuilder. A dancer, yoga teacher and athlete she dominated me physically and mentally up close and via long distance. I slipped into the deepest subspace with her that I ever experienced.

In my 20's, when I was solely into wrestling and beatdowns, my best experiences were with Mistress Cassandra of LA (apparently retired). She - a 5' 2" petite but muscular black belt - beat the living hell out of me, and I think the final time was the worst. It reached a crescendo during which I forgot my safeword, and started crawling - naked - toward the door while she was still attacking me. I still don't know what I would have done had I reached that door...!? No worries - she dragged me back by the ankle, and hit me so hard that I started laughing.

In more recent years, I became curious about venturing beyond beatdowns, and started exploring the forums. I quickly developed a list of the top 10 dommes I wanted to meet, largely for very simplistic and superficial reasons, e.g., "Severa is the tallest domme I've ever seen. Gotta session with her!" Duh. But for some reason, I kept coming back to the idea of meeting Miss Troy Orleans. There was something less obvious, but extremely compelling, about her...that I just couldn't figure out. It was as if there were some secret that no other domme or sub knew, and she was going to whisper it into my ear. I had no idea what to expect, or how my inexperience would line up with her interests, but I had to take the chance and find out.

Curiosity killed Luke Cage. The first five minutes of our very first session made it clear that I was in the deep end of the pool. I haven't found my way out since.

hmmm, this is certainly an interesting question, and caused me to take a few and ponder. I agree with junglepet, that this is the kind of question that can get guys like me in trouble, but here goes. I assume the criteria to determine what attributes makes the best would be subjective to the reviewer. To this end, my criteria is how creative She is/was; how in control She is/was; and how She is able to take my kinks and preferences and twist them and mold them into something that She enjoys as much as i do.

Without a doubt in my mind is Mistress Ayn of Atlanta www.mistressayn.com . She is incredibly creative both in the course of a "normal" session and Her 'mind fucks" - which truly need to be experienced to be believed! She is ALWAYS in control, that is just a natural part of Her personality. She is loads of fun. She is deviously creative!

Aslo, in my lists of "the best" are:
Domina Rikka (sadly, retired)
Goddess Samantha -http://www.fetishgoddesssamantha.com/
Goddess Phoneix http://www.goddessphoenix.com/

These Ladies are all creative and fun.

Yeah, agree there is a lot of criteria to examine and it can be very subjective.

I used to travel globally every week and would see a Domme in each region I went to frequently.

The key characteristics I was looking for was:
- Trust
- Someone I can engage with that understands what makes me tick
- Based on that analysis push my buttons, expand my boundaries mentally and physically
- I was not really into the scripted scenarios or where I had to describe immense detail of a scene, I want the scene to be created for me and the experience to unfold organically.
- Diverse range of experience (I am not a rinse repeat type of person)
- But ability to explore depth in each area explored (I don't want a superficial experience)
- Adjustable demeanor (can be cruel/demanding, but sweet and affectionate when necessary)

To me that person was Domina Dia Dynasty (www.dominadynasty.com) in New York City.

I am just thrilled by the depth I was able to establish here and adjusted my schedule to see her on a regular basis accordingly.
