The figure of the Voluptuous, or Curvy Domme, challenges the prevailing Western standard of the “androgynous waif” that has been the look of fashion and adult entertainment since the mid-20th century. But what the mainstream media portrays rarely encompasses everything, particularly when looking at the BDSM community.
Things have improved in the last decade, but the kink, fetish, and BDSM community is still misunderstood… characterized for humor, or for titillation, or to demonize, and almost never framed by an insider or someone who understands and appreciates the people or the truth. And there’s so much misinformation and ignorance out there, even among the community itself. The Voluptuous Domme deserves a fair hearing.
This article is meant to open a discussion on the topic of the Voluptuous Domme and hopefully give a better overall understanding, celebrate them for their power and passion, and also introduce the direct words from real-life Voluptuous Dommes who know better than anyone else what their experiences are like, how clients feel about them, and how they are viewed in the BDSM community itself.
The Perception of Women of Power and Substance Throughout History
The “Amazon” archetype from the ancient world is certainly relevant to the study of large dominatrices today. While not always “plus-size” they were known for being physically commanding and capable of overwhelming men. This ancient form of domination also carries over into “Giantess” fetish, superheroes, and much more today. Famous Amazon character, Wonder Woman, has a storied connection to the fetish and BDSM community directly from her creator William Moulton Marston, who was inspired by the feminist movement of his era.
The modern ideal of the perfect woman is a recent development. From the Venus figurines of the Upper Paleolithic, which emphasize large breasts, hips and abdomens, to the Venetian style of painting by masters like Titian, in the 16th century, to the Rubenesque woman of the Baroque period, there was a time where women of size was seen as a symbol of wealth and health.
More recently, fetish artists like Namio Harakuwa are well-known for creating work featuring Voluptuous Dommes engaging in facesitting, smothering, human furniture and bondage in his art.
Another example of a famous artist known for his BBW Dominatrix is comic creator Robert Crumb. Through his “Art & Beauty “ magazine series, he has long championed women who are “solid and strong,” with “thick limbs, bulging thigh muscles, and big bottoms”.
The Recent Voluptuous Domme in Modern Media
A pivotal moment in the representation of the BBW dominatrix was the character Kat Hernandez (played by Barbie Ferreira) in the HBO series Euphoria. Kat turns to online sessions as a virtual dominatrix to reclaim her sexuality.
The 2021 video game Resident Evil Village broke the internet with the character Lady Dimitrescu, a 9’6” vampire noblewoman. This giantess embodies all the characteristics of the professional dominatrix and lights the idea of the femme fatale on fire by making her imposing, scary, and sexy as hell.
The Thoughts and Experiences of Real-Life Voluptuous Dommes
So now that it’s established that both ancient history and modern history reveres the Voluptuous Domme, now it’s time to talk to several currently practicing and succeeding Professional Dominatrices who identify as curvy, BBW, or voluptuous.
What follows is a series of questions that I asked to a panel of Dommes who include Miss Betty Rage, Madam Cruella, Goddess Dahlia, Mistress Darren, and Mistress Simone Worthington.
Photos throughout this article were provided by the Dommes themselves. There is a list of links at the end of the article if you want to find out more about them.
Have you found that clients seek you out specifically because of your size? If so, what do you think draws them?
Goddess Dahlia
“Yes of course. I would say that most of my regulars are attracted to my aesthetic and then stay long-term because of my approach towards domination and our chemistry. In Southeast Asia (SEA), fat shaming is still very prevalent unfortunately. There is still an unsaid stigma towards embracing, condoning and therefore expressing attraction towards bigger women.
So to come across a BBW Asian Domina is a rare opportunity (specifically in SEA).”
Madame Cruella
“Not always but I would say 40/50% will at some point either in their application or at the session mention my figure/size. I think what draws them is usually two things, either they like how strong and imposing a bigger body is, making them feel small and insignificant, weak. Or they view a voluptuous body as the peak example of The Feminine, a body that speaks of experience and life.
I have heard the term “a real woman’s body” many times. This of course is not in any way said in any kind of way that is derogatory to anyone elses bodies but speaks to something many used to adore, especially when you think of statues like the Venus of Willendorf.”
Mistress Simone Worthington
“Yes, I do find some clients approach me due to my voluptuousness. They equate the body type to sensuality, strength or power, whichever feeds their desire/need.
Amazon, Goddess, and Giantess are words I often hear from clients. The towering over the weaker male, the ability to crush them, or being above them on a pillar to worship- I feel are the ideologies that come with the plus size Dominatrices.
While I do enjoy the power that comes from such concepts, I do wish these traits were associated with all women, not based on a stereotype.”
Mistress Darren
“Yes! Most of my clients approach me because of my size. They are looking for a larger, heavier woman to dominate them, or they are seeking a plus-size, voluptuous goddess to worship.
I believe that is a compliment to me and a reminder that being plus-sized is my “niche” in the area.”
Miss Betty Rage
“I have various clients mention my body shape, but it is not always a driver and if they do, it is always incredibly positive. Mostly it is in reference to my ass and my thighs specifically. I am curvy but strong.
I find most men contact me because I look like I could either crush them or beat them up. There is an element of fear and intrigue.
That’s what I thrive off most.”
Have your clients ever expressed how your body type affects their fantasies or emotional experience?
Madam Cruella
“Clients have told me that my physique makes them want to be overpowered and intimidated. It has made them want to be crushed and smothered with no chance of escape, they feel a larger woman makes them weaker as if we have the strength and power to do whatever we want and they will be powerless to stop us.
I particularly enjoy this type of narrative.”
Mistress Simone Worthington
“Yes, particularly when it comes to smothering/trampling and manhandling fantasies.
One of my long-time slaves loves my weight on him, feeling crushed like a bug underneath me. It is key to his experience.
Another enjoys lying on the floor, gazing up at his supreme Goddess while she steps on him.
My body size and shape can be key to a client’s fetish but it is also about the confidence, energy and strength a Domme exudes. This is often equated with a larger person.
Mistress Darren
“Oh, of course! The ones that like to lavish me with compliments are constantly going on and on about how attractive they find me and certain features of my body. It’s always either my butt, legs, belly or breasts.
They are either turned on and in reverence or feel small and vulnerable around a woman of my size.”
Miss Betty Rage
“Men contact me because of a mixture of things. From my perspective they are a little scared. They want a woman who looks like they can crush them and beat them up.
I think this adds to their fantasy and the realization that it could become a reality, or they can at least experience an element of what they desire, of being totally dominated, controlled, overpowered, and not standing a chance and knowing that you can deliver it.
I love seeing a man enter the dungeon slightly afraid…”
Goddess Dahlia
“Fantasies definitely vary but some examples of clients expressing utmost appreciation towards my body type would be scenes with body trampling, smothering and worship. It’s one thing to love the kink, but to be pushed to the limit with sheer weight and size in a session does make you feel more vulnerable mentally!”
Do you feel the industry is becoming more inclusive of different body types, or is there still a long way to go?
Mistress Simone Worthington
“Unfortunately I feel we will always be battling social stigmatization on plus-size bodies, especially when the beauty industry sells us an impossible social norm that has led to strong body dysphoria in our young people. This is the model we base beauty on. For a while, the body inclusion movement was making progress. I loved it. But now it seems like a backslide is happening, and that makes me sad/angry.
It has changed since the time a woman with large, natural curves was considered healthy, strong and vibrant. But that is exactly why many of my clients desire me. Let’s not forget the motherly aspect of our body type.
Ideally, I feel a society should not judge other souls based on a finite thing such as looks and body size. Instead let’s be attracted to the traits that hold true all one’s life: intelligence, kindness, humor and depth.”
Mistress Darren
“Yes, I feel the industry is becoming much more accepting of different body types. Perhaps this is due to the self-promotion that social media has had.
Average or “outside of the norm” ladies putting themselves out on the internet via OnlyFans and IG and getting a huge positive response from men….it tells you that while mainstream looks are very popular, there are plenty of people out there that find other looks appealing.”
Miss Betty Rage
“The most critique I have ever received with the way I look is from other sex workers and peers. Not clients.
I’ve been both fat and thin. Bodies change. But what’s interesting is people’s perspective on you and the value they place you as.
When I was thin and lived an unhealthy lifestyle, I was celebrated as being hot and attractive. As soon as I recovered and changed shape, I was told my body was inadequate, undesirable, that men wouldn’t find me attractive and if they did it was a niche.
I was told by a fellow sex worker that I would be lucky to even get one client a month with “the way I looked and how big I am”. Spinning it like anything that came my way would be purely down to luck. That’s not true. At least from a client point of view.
Clients come to you because you are specialist in what you offer, and you have charisma and charm. They feel safe with you.
I had never considered my body to be so political in its latest form nor so open for discussion. It’s a body and if we were all the same size and shape. Life would be pretty fucking boring.
So, in short. We have a long way to go. Other people’s bodies are still a topic of hot discussion for those who feel insecure about their own. Everyone deserves a place and everybody should be celebrated.”
Goddess Dahlia
“In Asia, we definitely have more to grow. I would personally like to see more body inclusivity in the industry, even in terms of toys and fashion. However in more Western parts of the world, I have had wonderful experiences interacting with both clients and fellow professionals.”
Madam Cruella
“Definitely! I think pre-Covid before OF and other similar platforms started flying ahead in popularity it was still the norm to see the stereotypical slim blondes and brunettes being pushed as the only acceptable face.
Being able to create and sell your own content and interact on a personal level with fans changed the landscape, suddenly it was an equal playing field and bigger and alternative people in the industry were being seen and appreciated.
I’ve seen lots of people right across the adult industry who had struggled to make ends meet before get bigger and finally become successful and thrive which has been great to see.”
What advice would you give to other curvy women considering entering this line of work?
Mistress Darren
“Be yourself. Be who you are because that is what is going to make you stand out from the rest. Be happy and do what makes you happy and that will attract followers to you.”
Miss Betty Rage
“Be confident in who you are and don’t listen to what anyone has to say about your body. Invest in yourself to feel good, feeling good about the way you look shines through in everything else you do.
If someone is making your body political. Harness it to your power. It is better to be different and stand out in the crowd, then get lost in a sea of bodies who look the same. Use it as your USP and don’t listen to anyone who dares tell you that you are undesirable. It is not true; you are desirable, and your body is beautiful.”
Goddess Dahlia Sin
“Don’t bother reading comments on social media unless you’re confident and steadfast in who you are. Whether good or bad, they are just projections from people you aren’t paid to handle.”
Madam Cruella
“Own every single thing you hate about your body because there are literally millions of men out there for whom it is the hottest thing on the planet. Every stretch mark, cellulite dimple, muffin top, apron belly, bingo wing is sexy as fuck.
It’s going to be hard at first to get over but the continual positive reinforcement of compliments from fans and clients will repair so much damage done over the years.”
Mistress Simone Worthington
“Stick to who you are in your style. Don’t let others change your style. Know that those lashing out about body size are small-minded and petty. It’s their issue not yours, even though it stings.”
What do you want readers to understand about the strength and appeal of dominatrixes who don’t fit conventional body standards?
Miss Betty Rage
“There is so much power being true to yourself, to harness the confidence to not conform and be different is incredibly powerful, I don’t want to look like anyone else, I want to be someone memorable.
Be the person someone has never seen before. Be the body that they have only dreamed of.
I would say I tick three boxes; I am curvy, I am tattooed, and I have a gothic/vintage look to me. I would say these are the points that make me at first sight seem more interesting.
Looking different and standing out makes you memorable and when someone is scrolling along a page full of people who look similar, stop at you.
The more you own the way and shape you are, the more powerful you will appear and that speaks through everything you put out there.”
Madam Cruella
“I would like the readers to know that most of the best Dominatrix in the industry are in fact not the prettiest, slimmest, cookie cutter image people created and pushed by a handful of men based on their own personal tastes and forced on the world of BDSM.
The best dommes are the bigger, weirder, more interesting women who live, breathe and love the kinks they engage in. We didn’t have the privilege of resting on the laurels of looks so we did the work and we know our stuff.”
Mistress Simone Worthington
“Trying to shove all of us into a set mold is to miss out on potentially meeting a fantastic Dominatrix. Open your eyes to the creative juices of these dommes. You could find your perfect match.”
Mistress Darren
“While I’m not trying to convey a message to anyone, I would simply say to readers that everyone has their “type” or their “thing” that turns them on. Both men and women have physical traits that they find attractive, and that’s ok.
I think as you mature and get older you realize that you’re into what you’re into and who cares what society or others think. Everyone’s allowed to be attracted to what they are attracted to!
And to some men… large, strong, authoritative women are sexy and appealing. And amen for that.”
Final Thoughts
The Voluptuous Domme challenges the narrow beauty standards that have been prevalent for the past century. Rather than conforming to what fashion or adult entertainment decrees, these women represent power, confidence, individuality and authenticity in the kink community… and beyond.
Voluptuous women, from ancient history to modern media, like Absolute Wonder Woman and Lady Dimitrescu, highlight how strong, physically imposing women have long fascinated culture and fantasy.
The interview with real-life Professional Dominatrices including Miss Betty Rage, Madame Cruella, Goddess Dahlia, Mistress Darren, and Mistress Simone Worthington, paint a vivid picture of how clients are often drawn not only to their appearance, but also to their unique skills, authority, and emotional experience they provide.
Despite ongoing challenges, both inside and outside the kink community, their messages are deeply empowering. Beauty, dominance, and success, are not limited to one body type.
