The Lexicon

The Lexicon preserves the language of the Lifestyle — its words, concepts and traditions. It records meaning; it never prescribes practice. Where usage varies between Houses or lineages, each is set down with equal respect.

Relationships

M/f

also known as M/f, Mf

Notation indicating a dynamic in which a male Dominant partners with a female submissive.

Definition

M/f follows the shared slash convention. It is often used together with M/s where an ownership frame is present, or with D/s where the dynamic is defined more broadly.

Discussion

M/f is common in mainstream heterosexual D/s writing and profiles.
