[[Professional dominants]] are those who act in a dominant role for a professional session in exchange for [[Tribute]]. The gender neutral term is often "Pro Dom" while the female specific term is often "Pro Domme", "Dominatix" or "Mistress" and the male version is often "Master", though the specific [[Honorific]] chosen will often be left up to the pro dom in question and they may or may not follow this formula.
