Is lifting always domination?

I personally would catalog domination as a fetish itself.

My thought on all this is that fetishes and practices have certain intersections, for example, domination has a lot to do with control and power, and physical strength -required in Lift and Carry- is an asset that can definitely impose control over someone else. Lift and carry and domination would be the fetishised practices, and strength the intersection in between.

I have seen scenes where a "mommy" carries a "baby", not in a domineering way, just a loving fetish scene (the domination part came after, but was completely detached from the carry part). ABDL intersects with Lift and carry here.
Also in my experience fetish can group in sort of families, but don't necesarily need them.

So I can imagine some like to feel the power from the person lifting underneath, but not to feel overpowered per se; and some do like the feeling of powerlessness on top of the strength.

Think about it as flavoured ice cream, you can totally combine them as you want, no rules!

Picking someone up and carrying them is whatever the person / persons want it to be. It might be dom or sub, just depends on what both parties want and expect.

I've never seen someone lifting somebody else as dominating. there's plenty of strength involved and they'll depict someone in the clip as dominating for a story or whatever. but i just like watching the lifting and don't over analyze it.
