A dominant is a person who consensually takes a leadership or authority role within a BDSM dynamic. Responsibilities often include communication, planning, respecting negotiated limits, and supporting a partner's well-being throughout a scene. Dominance is based on trust and mutual agreement rather than control without consent. Healthy dynamics are built through honesty, responsibility, and respect.
