The idea of a Dom is old hat for the BDSM community. The Dom is the person in charge of a relationship, usually sexually, but often psychologically outside of intimate times, too.
While some people might be turned off by the idea of being controlled, many find relief in being told what to do in aspects of their relationship. Particularly the bedroom, where folks are often riddled with anxieties around performance and pleasing their partner. A good Dom makes sure to please everyone when they take the reins.
A woman in this role is often called a Domme and she is a highly coveted prize. Folks of all sexualities and genders can appreciate a woman in charge.
