Dungeon Masters

A Dungeon Master, "Dungeon Monitor" or "DM" is a person experienced in BDSM practice and safety who is appointed to oversee BDSM play in a Dungeon or at a BDSM party or event.

A DM's direction in a Dungeon is absolute and must be immediately obeyed, but is usually limited to requiring proper safety practices or to stopping unsafe play.

What training is required to become a DM varies from group to group, but the person usually has several years experience in the scene plus first aid and emergency medical training of some sort. Being selected as a DM is considered an honor in the BDSM community.
