"Commercial Doms"

Some differences between "professional" and "commercial" sessions people:

• Professionals tend to maintain safe, clean, play spaces instead of a hotel room.

• ProDoms usually play in their personal lives, and attend community events.

• ProDoms spend time talking to a client, as opposed to a "John" <g>

• Commercial Doms, as opposed to professional Doms, seem to have a "Get in, get off, get out" mentality.
