male dominance

In the context of BDSM (Bondage, Domination, Sadism and Masochism) relationships and erotic practices, male dominance or maledom refers to the dynamic where one male partner is dominant over another male partner, usually in sexual situations. The dominant partner (commonly known as 'Dom') exerts control, power, and authority over the submissive partner (often referred to as 'sub' or 'bottom'). This dynamic can involve various forms of physical and/or emotional dominance, as well as submission, obedience, humiliation, and other activities consensually agreed upon by both partners.
