Why Dominant Guide?

Dominant Guide was born out of a lack of reliable resources and community for the Dominant side of the D/s relationship. Joining the need for resources, community and support made Dominant Guide a possibility.

Through the strength in understanding and the power in knowledge we will help you learn more about dominance, submission and the play that we love so much in BDSM.

Enjoy the ride!
