Dominatrices

Watching Dominatrices gives a unique look into the world of a professional dominatrix. In this documentary five dominatrices each tell their own story, how they meet a client and share stories of their experiences. The ladies each have their own opinion on how they create a session which will be a good experience for both parties.

Whether you are just interested in BDSM or a seasoned player there are plenty of opinions and attitudes to reflect on.

And there are small sneak peeks from real sessions to illustrate the descriptions from each dominatrice.

A thoughtful, eye-opening portrait of a misunderstood profession-equal parts provocative and profoundly humane

The Mistresses interviewed are not reduced to leather-clad caricatures; instead, they are presented as articulate professionals who balance the physical demands of their work with the emotional intelligence required to safely guide their clients. Their testimonies reveal a careful choreography of boundaries and consent-concepts often misunderstood outside the community.

Too many movies (fact and fiction) portray BDSM for laughs or for pure titillation. Dominatrices, in contrast, introduces us to five professional dommes, each with their own perspectives on what they do, why they do it, and how it (ahem) impacts their submissive clients. Brief session scenes give a realistic flavor of each experience without succumbing to the easy out of a porn scene. For those curious, it provides a balanced introduction. For more experienced, it might expand your horizons and, at the very least, expose you to thoughtful professionals who seem to both enjoy and excel at their craft.

I think this is a great film for both those who are interested in BDSM but have no experience with it as well as those who are in the lifestyle.

The film did a fantastic job of showing you who these Dominas are, how they got into this line of work, and then the challenges that they face both in the work and in their personal lives. I think many people who are interested in BDSM get an unrealistic view of it from the online porn they see, so they may not view a Domina as a real person with their own goals, emotions, etc. As an experienced person in the scene, I know what a subspace is, which is a kind of euphoria after a BDSM scene, and I found it really interesting to hear the Domina's describe what their topspace feels like and what has made them experience it.

I also really liked how the film showed that BDSM is not about sex. The Dominas talk about how their clients come for life coaching, self discipline help, to explore there identity and perhaps soothe past traumas. If all you've seen is BDSM pornography, these are concepts you're highly unlikely to consider if you're thinking about seeing a Domina. There are excerpts of scenes with their subs, but they're not done in a way to make it feel like BDSM porn.

Finally, I liked how the Dominas did not push going to see a pro. They talked about things that you need to consider when making the decision to see one, but they also discussed ways to explore BDSM within the lifestyle scene. I think for people that want to try it out on the lifestyle scene, there is some very solid advice in how to approach a potential dominant.

All in all, a very interesting documentary on the subject. The production values and music were great. The film makers lined up some interesting Domina's who all had something different to share. I think the most value will come to those curious about BDSM, but for those experienced in the scene, I think it's a very interesting watch.

This documentary gives us an introduction to a handful of dominatrices, allowing them to tell their truths without fetishizing or glamorizing them.

The documentary manages to capture the sexuality innate to the subjects and their profession without doing so salaciously. Though, while artistically filmed, it could have done with a Steadicam for the session footage.

Overall it is an enlightening and educational documentary, made with love and respect. Deep enough to satisfy fans of the milieu yet accessible and intriguing for the merely curious.
