Domination (psychological)

Psychological domination involves the exercise of authority over a bottom, submissive or slave.

Instead of involving any specific activity, domination is where a top or dominant takes charge and directs his or her partner. This may involve BDSM activities, or it could extend outside the dungeon to what the partner wears day-to-day, where they go for meals and other outings, choice of entertainment or food, etc.
