Duminant

Duminant (also spelled dumbinant) is usually a pejorative term for a Dominant/Domina who clearly operates past their knowledge and experience. It may also refer to a D-type who will not take advice, and who holds antiquated beliefs about the role of a Dominant. In some cases, it is applied to an inexperienced D-type who over-emphasizes their actual lived experience. A small segment of the community takes up the term as a rebellious term of endearment. ### Origins of the Term The world is a portmanteau of "dumb" and "dominant."
