In your opinion is Cersei a dom? I don't think I've heard that before!! (Tbf I'm really not well versed in things about the Lannisters) Would love to hear your thoughts on this!
Its actually sort of in the same realm of why I think Jon is, a lack of control in life.
Cersei has spent most of her life never actually in control of things, it's partially why I think her relationship with Jaime was as intense as it was, it was the one secret she had that was hers alone and no one had a say in.
So as an adult, Cersei is married to a man she hates, stuck in Kings Landing a city full of smallfolk she hates, and she is trapped within a system that looks down on her for being a woman. So what does she do? She uses it to her advantage, she takes that system of female oppression and twists it to oppress other woman so she can boost herself higher then them. She takes control of her life in ways most women in her position dont. She poisons her husband, places herself as Queen Regent beside her son in a coup, she starts sleeping with other people who cannot say no to her to feel powerful when she felt helpless when it was Robert she was with.
Cersei isn't really a dom in a kinky sense, but rather I think at this point in her life she refuses to submit to anyone let alone a man. She has worked to hard to use the system that opresses women to be able to stand beside men as powerful and thus she becomes almost addicted to that level of power.
She's not a dom because its naturally what she likes sexually, shes a dom because she refuses to go back to any version of her life where she did not have that power and control over other people. Cersei needs to be in charge in the bedroom because even when things crumble around her, thats still the ONE place that the outside world has no say in what she does and commands.
