Lifestyle vs. Professional

I am a lifestyle and professional dominatrix. What does this mean?

Lifestyle means that I enjoy many aspects of FemDom in my every day life because as I recently explained to a friend, Is there any other way?

A professional is one, who simply, like any other professional, e.g. a lawyer, gets paid for her time. You can find them via Eros, Pandemos and Maxfisch.

Sometimes people, okay, male submissives seem to be confused about the differences. Sometimes it's on purpose, sometimes it's accidental. As a lifestyle player, I do have people I play with personally, but I assure you, that I am the one picking them. I have never and will never personally play with someone who contacts me if I do not know that person and does not come with at least one good solid reference. If you are looking for a play partner, then please look at sites such as Collarme, Alt, and even FetLife. (Note: I personally use all these sites for both professional and lifestyle needs of a female dominant.)

I have met many who consider themselves lifestyle and professional. I have met those who are only lifestyle. I have met those who are only professional. I think it's important to distinguish the differences, but not necessary to discriminate against those who wish to tailor their involvement in the way that they see fit.
