the opposite word of dominant












1















There is an opposite word of dominant in sexuality and otherwise which has the starting letters 'mas..........' but I'm not able to recall the word, can somebody help ? I just remember it being too long and not able to pronounce it properly.



While I have no sentence in my mind, I can describe an experience which lot of people probably have. It's like the one work that your boss, co-worker, girl-friend, wife, husband gives you that you absolutely abhore. You would only do it when you are feeling extremly guilty about something or in mood for some self-punishment. I hope I was able to describe the word I'm looking for.

    I don't have enough rep for my -1 to count but I downvoted because you're not actually looking for the opposite of dominant but the opposite of sadistic.

The word you're looking for is "masochistic". It's really the opposite of "sadistic" not "dominant", but it's close.
