Definitions by Claudia Sky

Domsent

The active, ongoing consent of the Dominant in a BDSM or power exchange dynamic. Distinct from boundaries. Continuous throughout every interaction. Never implied by circumstance, transaction, or a submissive’s desire for more.

Portmanteau of Dominant and consent

Consent within BDSM Dynamics protects a submissive’s rights. Domsent is the rarely discussed equivalent for the dominant.

Safewords, limits, boundaries and domsent should be discussed prior to any BDSM play.
