The Dominant is the person in charge of a D&S relationship.

D&S relationships are usually defined as a superset of Master/slave relationships.

A Master or Mistress is usually defined as the dominant person in a Master/slave relationship.

It should be noted that in general usage, the word Dom is a short, gender non-specific replacement for the word Dominant.

During the past few years, a new word, "Domme" (usually pronounced "dough-may") has come on the scene to indicate a female Dominant.
