Interesting. Thanks for the insightful reply. I hadn’t considered Dommes having to walk that line between attracting new clients and scaring them off in terms of how they present themselves. I guess I’d forgotten that not everyone understands that a good pro Domme has the skills to provide everything from a “tie and tease” experience to severe CBT or a caning that leaves wheals and welts for a week.

I had wondered about your second point. With BDSM becoming so much more mainstream I can see where you’d have both far more untrained or inexperienced Dommes and subs who would tend to dabble.
