Faker

A faker is someone who pretends to be someone else within the BDSM world. The term is used for both fake subs (men who pretend to be potential paying submissives) and fake Mistresses (women who present themselves as Dominants without experience, knowledge, or sincere intention). In both cases, it revolves around deception, lack of authenticity, and often money, attention, or status.
