Single and Unapologetic

Being a single and unapologetic dominant in the BDSM lifestyle has often drawn criticism from those who claim that a “real” or “true” dominant would unquestionably have a submissive. To those who hold this narrow view, let me set the record straight: my singlehood is not a weakness; it is a powerful statement of empowerment.

Singlehood allows me to embrace my autonomy fully and unapologetically. Every day, I choose joy, explore my passions, and forge my path without being shackled by someone else’s needs or expectations. This freedom is not a compromise but a conscious decision to prioritize my growth and happiness above societal or community expectations. My dominance is not validated by having a submissive; it is demonstrated through my actions, integrity, and relentless pursuit of personal excellence.
