___ girl in BDSM

Hopefully someone can save my sanity.There's a name for a certain type of girl who enjoys extreme BDSM activities-I've been racking my brains all night for it,but I just cannot remember it-all I know is that I'm sure it begins with D-it's something like Durcott girl or Dellcott girl .Trying to google it without knowing it is rather difficult-hopefully some one of you nice people can produce the name for me.Many thanks Lemon martini (talk) 01:27, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Dominatrix? --Jayron 32 01:55, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Only if she's the perpetrator. Or perpetratrix. But not if she's the receptrix. -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 05:14, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You've omitted the hostrix, the waitrix, and the bussor. μηδείς (talk) 21:11, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If she works in a museum, she may also be a curatrix. StuRat (talk) 00:41, 25 July 2015 (UTC) [reply]

Dolcett. No article, but perhaps that's for the best. Google the term, _carefully_. Tevildo (talk) 08:10, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, we used to have an article on the topic - see WP:Articles for deletion/Dolcett. Tevildo (talk) 08:16, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The article apparently was about a cartoonist who used that name. —Tamfang (talk) 23:30, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Dolcett! That's the one. Many thanks Tevildo. My brain can stop fretting about that and get onto other worthwhile things.... Lemon martini (talk) 08:57, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There's an Encyclopedia dramatica page encyclopediadramatica.se/Dolcett (unlinked due to blacklist). Apparently the name came from a user who made a bunch of art depicting these things. SemanticMantis (talk) 22:47, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The pictures in question are decades older than ED - they were certainly available (not necessarily on-line) in the early 80's. But this is perhaps going too far down the rabbit-hole that leads to the BOC-numerics, and similar things which should not be spoken of under the sun. If you don't know, you don't want to know.

An ironic name, considering that dulcet means "sweet and soothing". StuRat (talk) 22:20, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
