I think in these forums dom is taken to mean the dominant partner in a loving, or at least mutually pleasurable relationship between consensual parties. If you love, or at least want to do no harm to the other part snuff is off the table. Even if the woman wants to be "snuff" we generally accept (in the US at least) that healthly, free people are incapiable of making that decision, and that if one does, they are somehow "unhealthy" and should not be allowed to make that decision. So I think most any normal dom plays by these rules. If such a person got turned on by fantasies of snuff, I don't think they would be very comfortable discussing it. To some much lesser degree, rape fantasy has the same stigma.

If you define dom just as someone who takes the domiant role in a sexual relationship (which might also be rape or murder,) you might get different answers. BUT, as I said before, you have a lot of news stories, documentaries, and true crime books covering people who rape and kill, but I have never heard of one who killed for sexual pleasure. So it seems to be that even guys who have no issues with raping and killing their victims, don't kill them for sexual pleasure. I'm sure it happens, but I'm guessing it is rare even among those who actually rape and kill a woman.
