Detailed Explanation
A Toymaker is usually a Dominant role that treats their partners as a toy, or things to play with. They objectify their partner into becoming a perfect plaything that they can use for their own pleasure. The main focus of a Toymaker is to create "good toys."
This role differs from dollification (which is achieved through sadomasochism). Toymakers are more akin to life coaches who introduce someone to a new lifestyle, range of kinks, and fetishes to explore themselves. They do this based upon the varied appearances, action, and behavior of the current (mind/body) materials they have to work with when starting out. They coach the Toy into using the materials it has instead of forcibly reconstructing what they already have to fit a mold.
Toymaking is a long, deeply revealing, and empathetic process. The different elements of human dignity are revealed through the evaluation of a toy's emotional/psychological aptitude as well as physical capacity, constructing their sense of dignity to whatever finishing-point both mutually agree upon in terms of what is possible. This includes exploring, educating, training and introducing them to many areas of consensual play within the range of a “Built Capacity.”
Can also refer to: A craftsman or artisan who designs and creates toys for use in BDSM.
