In my personal life, sex is always part of BDSM play. In fact, I don't think I know any lifestyle people for whom that isn't the case. It doesn't take much imagination to see how sex of various kinds, and female domination can work great together. And in fact, the strong impression I have is that that is what the vast majority wants. You can see that clearly on ALL client-oriented forums. On pro domme oriented forums, they don't like discussing it, so usually this topic is forbidden, because they know they'll be inundated with discussion decrying the state of affairs from the '90s and '00s. In short, sex and female domination can go together, and I believe most pro domination clients would prefer it that way. Which answers the question you asked, but I'll keep going, which is probably a mistake
Which means, of course, that for years the pro domme community was offering a product that wasn't really what their clients wanted ... but those clients bought in anyway because there was no alternative, if you wanted great BDSM in a professional setting, you basically had to go to a pro domme. Nature -- and business -- abhors a vaccuum, so that's changed a lot in the past few years in SF. First, I'm seeing a good number of ads in the BDSM section from skilled pro dommes who also offer sex of some kind, even if it's just HE or body worship. Second, the FBSM community has developed a fantastic product, mixing FBSM sensuality with BDSM; many are very skilled, and ironically their product is so tight that most high-end FBSM+BDSM providers now command higher prices than our world class SF pro dommes. Lastly, we're starting to see escorts offer solid BDSM. I don't mean the "u will call me mistress and bow 2 me" ads, I mean escorts with legit skills, many who have training (e.g., at famed places like Cleo Du Bois' place). My prediction is the no-sex pro domme community will shrink to fit just the no-sex clients, and that pro domination clients will seek the other offerings I just described, all of which are legit pro domination offerings in every way, from skilled women.
