dominatrix

Definition

A woman who assumes the role of dominant partner in sadomasochistic activitites such as dominance and submission. Typically, she dresses all in black, the color of things taboo: black bra made of silk or leather, spandex hot pants, patent leather boots with spiked high-heels, a leather mask for the sexual turn-on of anonymity, a braided whip to inflict pain and encourage discipline. A professional dominatrix is a woman (very rarely a prostitute) who is paid to act out an B & D fantasy with a client. Plural: dominatrixes or dominatrices.
