It's written "domina". Period. Even in English. If you can't stand Latin endings, I'll grudgingly concede the androgynous abbreviation "dom". But a pseudo-French bastard "domme" really has no right to live, not even on a terminal screen.
A specific of the fem-dom, sub-male scene is that it is the segment with the highest presence of professional activity -- professional dominae abound.
Instead, Social Text "tarts up" the issue of sex work with sexy photos of dominas and cross-dressers, replicating, in a slightly more self-conscious and progressive way, the nineteenth-century exoticization[…]
Dominas therefore stress the emotional and physical skill, as well as the dangers, involved in commercial S/M[…]
I think that there is a reason why so many dominae are pro and paid: they don't get to do what they want. Maybe you talk to your pro dommes friends again and ask what they get out of it.

“Can you translate this invitation? I hate to display my ignorance around your Latin students,” Mrs. Dooley, who was attired in a royal purple gown as a Roman domina, graciously complied, so if you’ve been worrying over the translation to the first paragraph, here ’tis.
Flavius on the other hand holds the career of the gladiator in high esteem, as despite running the unavoidable risk of death at every turn, gladiators are the most renowned and admired of all men and are sought after by the most beautiful and wealthy Roman dominae. […] Though dressed like Roman patrician dominae, their height, features and hair colour show that they are young Briton girls.
The ancient historian Horace remarked once that respectable women should not draw attention to themselves by using cosmetics, perfume, or hairpieces. However, that didn’t last long with the Roman dominas.
The exotic mistress fulfilled the lust of his body, but her status came far short of entertaining him as he’d grown accustomed with fair Roman dominas, engaging their obscene wittiness and patrician prattle.
