An important point, and an addition:

1. Important point: these are not "types of dominas and dominant women". This is a list of women who offer domination as a service, in return for payment. Most women who are engaged in femdom are not professionals, just like most people who play baseball are not professional baseball players. Seems like "lifestyle femdoms, from novice to light & informal, to 24/7 lifestyle" is a the major category.

2. There are many sexworkers, besides pro dommes and escorts, who offer domination-for-pay. In my local area, there was about an 8 year stretch where my perception is that FBSM providers of femdom easily outnumbered both the number of pro dommes, and the number of escorts offering femdom. I've also had fantastic femdom with strippers. Perhaps this should all bundled up with #4: traditional sexworkers offering femdom services.

3. Another addition: sugar arrangements are sort of in a gray area between the non-pro femdom I mentioned in #1 above, and the various types of for-payment femdom in all the rest. Again, I've had some amazing femdom experiences with sugarbabies and suggest it as a fun way to go. One thing that this and the "femdom sexworkers who are not pro dommes" bullet above, is that there some form of explicit sex act as part of the femdom.


Ironically, perhaps in the "eskimos have 30 words for snow" category, it wouldn't have even occurred to me to separate out your list numbers 1-3. To me, they are all minor variations on "professional domination that does not include sex". The important distinctions -- at least for me -- are among "professional domination with FBSM/strippers/etc that includes sex" and "Domination as part of a sugar arrangement". Those are the three big categories that are waaaaaay different from each other. Probably illustrates what my personal interpretation of femdom lies lol
