When talking to people not in the lifestyle, I've found the term Dominatrix conjours up visions of a leather clad Goddess (who dresses like that 24/7), who is forever barking out orders. These Goddesses never sleep, smile, have kids or get colds, menstruate or have bad hair days.
In short, it most frequently refers to the fantasy, rather than the reality.
Which is not to say the image is unsustainable in the course of a session (who doesn't like to dress up a bit on occasion?), but I'm constantly amazed at the number of people who don't realize the amount of energy and planning that goes into pulling it off. I'd guess that is one of the (many) reasons people will hire the services of a professional: they get the meal, but don't have to do the dishes, figuratively speaking.
It's one thing to deal with a person who is at their peak and looking their carefully done best, in a controlled setting, and quite another to spend your time at the feet of a real, breathing human who will have good days and bad ones, variable interest in play, be tired from work, have to keep the kids shielded from part of her life to avoid the CPS, gets ill, gets sad, has PMS, and is sensitive to negative feedback.
Of course, one could always try to hire pro domme twins to work shifts... hmm... [;)]
Health,
al-Aswad.
