Since romantic relationships frequently have a playful or thrill-seeking edge, aspects that have to do with power, subjugation, punishments, etc. have often been sexualized. The most extreme manifestations of this formed a subculture on its own, known as BDSMnote Bondage and Discipline (BD), Dominance and Submission (DS), Sadism and Masochism (SM), but milder elements have found their way into mainstream culture. The most common way to introduce this is an Unequal Pairing, for example, between an Emperor and a commoner, between a teacher and a student, between a mistress and her servant boy, or between a mortal and a powerful sorceress. For the trope to come into play, the inequality has to be lampshaded: for instance, the sorceress may jokingly tell her lover something like "If you upset me, I will put a curse on you". Formally equal pairings may also be subject to the trope, if, for example, a girl gives a Prank Punishment to her boyfriend or vice versa. The trope only comes into play when non-sexual power dynamics are being sexualized; for kinky erotic games in bed, see Casual Kink, Safe, Sane, and Consensual, and Kinky Role-Playing. Compare and contrast Romanticized Abuse and Fetishized Abuser, for when the relationship is clearly abusive and usually not enjoyable for the party on the receiving end, but is still intended as Fanservice for the audience. Also compare Friendly Tickle Torture and Kinky Spanking. For the most extreme version of this, when one party is literally a slave to the other, see Property of Love. If someone's fetish is powerful people in general (big bosses, politicians, etc.), it's Power is Sexy. This may be one of the results of Belligerent Sexual Tension. Also related to Romantic Ribbing, Weakness Turns Her On, Mischief for Punishment, Amazon Chaser, Crazy in the Head, Crazy in the Bed, I Love You Because I Can't Control You, Authoritative in Public, Docile in Private, Powerful People Are Subs, A Match Made in Stockholm, All Girls Want Bad Boys, and Aren't You Going to Ravish Me?. Milder versions of this may also overlap with Trickster Girlfriend. |

In The Alienist, Kreizler and his servant Mary have a very weird power dynamic in their relationship, where on the one hand, Kreizler is Mary's boss, but on the other hand, he is highly dependent upon her because of his bad arm. Mary seems to enjoy Laszlo's timidity whenever he needs her to do something for him. | |

BoJack Horseman: In a flashback, acclaimed television writer Cuddlywhiskers has a sexual relationship with his assistant Jill Filipowitz (later known as Jill Pill when she becomes a playwright). Jill disobeys his orders by throwing his bottled water on the floor, Cuddlywhiskers yells at her, and Jill boasts about how she's a "dirty girl" and implores Cuddlywhiskers to come to the bedroom and "punish" her. | |

In The Power of Seven, while all seven of the girls in Harry's "harem" recognise Harry's magical power, Demelza in particular is often shown fantasizing about how Harry could easily overpower her physically and with his magic but would only ever use that strength to protect her, reflecting more than once that she can surrender herself to let him take charge when they're having any kind of sexual encounter. | |

Secretary is a film about a young woman who gets a job as a secretary at a law firm, and ends up entering into a dom/sub relationship with her boss when they realize he gets off on her obedience and punishing her for her screw-ups, and she gets off on being punished. There's a fair bit of emotional strife, mostly related to her insecurity and him being deeply ashamed of his interests, but the relationship itself is fully consensual and gradually makes her feel empowered and more comfortable in her own skin. With The Power of Love, they manage to make it work. | |

The original Wonder Woman comics from the 1940s contain plenty of sub-dom undertones. This is a case of Real Life Writes the Plot: the comic's creator William Moulton Marston was in a submissive relationship with two women (his wife Elizabeth and their polyamorous partner Olive Byrne). He was also a believer in the superiority of women, and proposed the idea of submission to a "loving (female) authority" as a counterbalance to the "anarchic and violent" aspects of masculinity (as he put it, "give [men] an alluring woman stronger than themselves to submit to and they'll be proud to become her willing slaves"). | |

This caused JD to snap at her and demand she follow his orders. Jordan becomes turned on by this and had sex with him. | |

An oddly large number of the male heroes in Tolkien's Legendarium. Though perhaps the most well-known example is Celeborn. He's a renowned general in his own right, but Galadriel can and does kick Sauron's butt singlehandedly (at the end of The Hobbit she forcibly evicts him from Dol Guldur which the careful reader will note was not just his hideout. His spirit was actually connected to the tower). While they are presented as equals initially in The Lord of the Rings it soon becomes evident that Galadriel is the real boss in Lothlorien, when she chews Celeborn out for being racist in front of both diplomatic envoys, and his troops. Haldir seems oddly nonchalant about seeing his commander get publicly embarrassed, suggesting this happens frequently. She is also from a more highly regarded family than he is (and her other Big Damn Hero moment was attempting to defend his tribe, the Teleri, from her uncle Fëanor). But this also extends to the humans: most conspicuously, Faramir falling for Eowyn after learning that she took down the Witch King who had earlier defeated him and his men. | |

In Twin Peaks, the relationship between Benjamin Horne and Catherine Martell has a shade of this, involving him kissing her feet and her replying to his compliments with sarcastic quips. Then he's accused of murder and arrested, and she visits him in the jail. She takes off her shoe, and he kisses her foot, pleading her to confirm his alibi. | |

Better Call Saul: Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould have gone on record on having a female domination kink, and Jimmy and Kim's relationship is this all over. There's a season six joke that centres around him being willing to have something up his ass, they end up getting turned on by her as her boss bossing Jimmy as Kim around and they decide to have a shower, and she's slammed him into a wall to make out with him. It also has more of the emotional side, as she tells him there are lines they don't cross and she's not letting him serve her by feeding her when her arm is in a cast. | |

Sabrina Online: Carli Chinchilla and her husband Spike (a massive wolf) paired with the sheer size difference between the two. Carli with her constant Motor Mouth is practically begging for Spike to show off his physical power to shut her up, and while the Sabrina Online depiction is fairly humorous the author's NSFW spin-off material plays with the couple's imbalance more explicitly. | |

The Wheel of Time: The culture of Ebou Dar and other parts of Altara likely has a fair amount of this, since it's basically a sexualized form of Matriarchy. Every husband gives his wife a knife as a wedding gift, and the wife has the right to stab him if he displeases her (for this reason, in Ebou Dar "men walked small around women, and forced a smile at what they would kill another man for"). This is especially prominent in the relationship between Queen Tylin Quintara Mitsobar and Mat Cauthon. Tylin basically forces him to become her lover at knifepoint and constantly makes fun of him, calling him "little duckling", and treating him as her boytoy. Nonetheless, it is strongly implied that Mat did enjoy this at least to some extent, since he later admits some affection for Tylin, and is devastated when he accidentally allows the gholam to kill her. Nynaeve and Lan marry in a culture where the higher-ranking member of an Unequal Pairing is expected to take an obedient role in private for balance's sake. Nynaeve's only word on being "outranked" on her wedding night is "glorious". |

In Lancelot, the Knight of the Cart, one basic pillar of Lancelot and Guinevere's relationship is that Guinevere can ask Lancelot to do anything she wants and he will do it. When she asks him to lose The Tourney—a completely arbitrary request that will embarrass him up in public—he obeys, "like one who is altogether hers." | |

In Doctor Who, the Doctor's relationship with River Song also has definite overtones of this. She openly revels in her superiority to him in many aspects, including being better at piloting the TARDIS or knowing things from the future that he doesn't (when he asks her about those, she playfully answers: "Spoilers"). In two of the episodes, she handcuffs him to prevent him from ruining her plans, and when he asks about her reasons for doing so, she again replies "Spoilers". Also there was that time she tried to kill him... | |

V.I.P.: Implied Trope in the episode Hard Val's Night. When Nikki starts bossing the members of Lit around and engages in some Malicious Misnaming towards the group, drummer Alan Shellenberger is shown loving the hell out of it and asking his band mates if any of them are turned on too. Subverted at the end of the episode, when giantess Val is dangling him by the back of his shirt and about to devour him, rather than being happy, Alan is shown to be scared. Holding up his hands, kicking his legs, and begging for his life right as she pops him into mouth and swallows him whole. |

Implied if not outright stated to be the case of Superman and Wonder Woman's relationship in the universe of The Dark Knight Returns. In The Dark Knight Strikes Again, her response to Superman feeling down about Batman beating him (again) is to punch him in the face and say, "Where is the man who threw me to the ground and made me his prize?". In All-Star Batman & Robin, the Boy Wonder, she gets aroused and kisses Superman after he knocks her over by shouting and stomping the ground. | |

In Pokémon: The Series fic "Ash's Adventure: Girls' Hunter Edition", a key element of society in this version of events is that various female characters from the anime are now PokeGirls, humans who can use Pokemon attacks. Most of the time this transformation occurs after the girls are defeated in battle and captured by their opponent in human balls, but human balls can be used in other situations, such as Ash catching Misty because she was injured and he had no other way to help her. Later scenes confirm that PokeGirls instinctively want to submit to their owners, as shown when Jessie is instinctively disappointed at Ash rejecting her even though he only caught her when he had no other way to stop her attack and neither wanted her to stay on his "team". It's also noted that most PokeGirls immediately acknowledge their trainers' superiority due to the initial capture, requiring Misty to take steps to encourage Ash to "make" her submit to him in later sexual encounters, such as helping him be on top during their first time. May speculates that part of the reason Misty is so willing to submit to Ash is that she's been disappointed by authority figures such as her parents, older sisters and the League basically all her life, whereas Ash (in his role as her trainer) is the only such figure who's shown that he genuinely cares about her. On top of Ash's existing dynamic with Misty, a flash-forward reveals that a similar power dynamic will be at least a part of Dawn and Serena's relationships with Ash; Dawn initially called Ash "Master" when she first joined him (and still does it to tease him) while Serena will occasionally call Ash her King. |

Succession: Roman is treated as Ambiguously Gay in Season 1, as he never sleeps with either of his girlfriends but he has a lot of sexual tension with his (male) trainer, whose job it is to push him physically. Season 2 confirms that Roman has little interest in sex; he jerks off multiple times to Gerri humiliating him and verbally attacking him for being a loser and a dumbass, and he can only try to have sex with his girlfriend when she's pretending to be dead. | |
