Dominatrix, Humiliatrix, Masturbatrix, Demonatrix, Cuckoldrix, Oh My!

I’ve noticed that within the greater BDSM community there’s a growing wealth of different “-trix” titles given to dominant women. Dominatrix being the classic and best known, but now there’s humiliatrix, masturbatrix, demonatrix and with slight variation in form, cuckoldrix. And I’m certain I’m missing a bunch more.

Each one is a dedicated title reflecting a specific area of fetish expertise.

Dominatrix, the most commonly used and linguistically acceptable, has become something of a general expression for dominant women in sadomasochistic relationships and BDSM inclusive sexual activities of a femdom nature. She is usually called a “Mistress” or “Domina” by her slave boys, and it would be a mistake to consider her form of domination to be purely sexual.

Humiliatrix and masturbatrix are variations on that form, both again being dominant women but with more specific specialties. This specificity also means these classifications fall almost exclusively within the real of sexual domination. The former specializing in male slave humiliation, and the latter being an expert in guided masturbation. While a humiliatrix will often be something of a dominatrix in terms of attitude and style (though not always, there is the “bratty princess” type that is more a spoiled girl who humiliates older men), the masturbatrix often has no BDSM-esque connection. Her focus is on controlling men as they masturbate, directing what they are to do, how long they are to do it, and when/if they are allowed to have an orgasm in the end. These are also usually dominant women but not always in such a pronounced form, and they can range from the classic dominatrix to a sexy teasing masturbatrix that’s simply a hot girl who loves to manipulate men.

The “demonatrix”, a lesser used title, is a more extreme form of dominatrix, one, that as the name suggests, usually has a more evil or cruel tone to her, taking the femdom sadism up a notch, and perhaps even adding an element of demonic horror to it. The word currently seems to be used predominantly in femdom stories, with real life examples found almost exclusively within the gothic subculture or similar circles. When heard, “demonatrix” can give the impression of a character or role played, but it’s unfair to generalize that way, just as goths and other subcultures are no less real simply for the unorthodix nature of their interests. While style takes a position of great importance here, substance is of no less worth than it is for any of the others who are serious about what they do.

Cuckoldrix is something a little different, seemingly more an online creation having to do with phone sex and sexual stories. The cuckoldrix specializes in sexual fantasies revolving around cheating wives and girlfriends. As is obvious, “cuckoldrix” comes from the word cuckold – meaning a man whose wife has committed adultery (another form is a “cuckoldress“. Men who enjoy this fetish are turned on by the idea of their wives cheating on them, and a cuckoldrix is a master at creating such sexual fantasies for men, building on the theme itself and the resulting humiliation these pseudo male slave types enjoy. Often, in addition to the shame of being a cuckold, a strong element small penis humiliation will be added to the fantasy, it being the motivation for the wife to cheat – he cannot satisfy her – while adding more shame to the event.

I know there are more titles than just this, because there are others I could already name. Seems like new ones are regularly appearing as people create them for themselves or the dominant women and respective fetish they adore. I left some of the more obscure options out for now because of their relative obscurity, but if anyone knows of any that are interesting and growing in use, feel free to add here through a comment.
