Female dominance (or Femdom) refers to BDSM activities where the dominant partner is female; the submissive partner may be of either sex. It can also refer to relationships that do not self-identify as BDSM, yet remain based on consensual power exchange or dominance and submission, with a female leading the overall dynamics of the relationship. Another common intepretation is to describe an entire belief system of gender discrimination associated with Female Supremacy. Female Supremacy is based on concepts such as the female being biologically or spiritually of a higher form or incarnation then the male. In the context of Ebony Femdom, Ebony or black pornography features the dominant person/s who are (or appear to be) black who is involved with other ethnicities such as caucasian, asian, latina, etc., or vice-versa with regards to dominance. They can be sub-divided into African pornography, African-American pornography or Caribbean pornography for performers who are (or appear to be) from the Caribbean islands that is involved in femdom or female dominance.
A female dominant is sometimes called a domme, femdomme, domina, or dominatrix. In the English-speaking world, "mistress" is by far the most common dominatrix title, while in most of continental Europe, the most common titles are maitresse, maid, maidress, matress, mother, mate, madre, or momina. The most common dominatrix title in the Spanish language is "ama." The equivalent Japanese term is 女王様 (joōsama, or queen).
Typical activities denoting female domination include required feminization of a male partner, strap-on dildo penetration (also known as pegging), as well gender-neutral practices of domination such as boot worship. Consensual cuckolding is also used as a source of erotic humiliation, focusing on the inadequacy of a the male partner's penis. The overall goal is to extract sensual pleasure from the submission of a partner, which may be demoted to a plaything for the domme. Light female domination scenarios may involve various forms of orgasm control, such as tease and denial and tie and tease, as well as ageplay, erotic spanking, cunnilingus and body worship, especially foot worship and ass worship.
Heavier and more intense female domination scenarios may involve facesitting or smothering, which tend to focus on the sub giving the dominant female oral pleasure, or the dominant female performing anal sex on the submissive partner. Other forms of more intense female domination can include face slapping, hair pulling, caning, dripping hot wax on the genitals and heavy whipping. For these purposes, note the issue of legal consent which may or may not represent a defense to criminal liability for any injuries caused.
In extreme scenarios, there is a focus on exchange of bodily fluids and total forfeit of rights from the slave (total power exchange), and acts may involve spitting domination, watersports, ballbusting, required chastity and required homosexuality (in which a dominant female requires a heterosexual male to engage in homosexual acts for her amusement, or as part of feminization; a literary example can be found at the climax of the novel Venus in Furs). Some dominant women expect to be served orally during their menstrual periods, a practice that is known as having a sub earn his "red wings".
Many participants in this lifestyle conform to the safe, sane and consensual and RACK models prevalent in the BDSM community.
A fairly common variation on this is a rape fantasy in which the female is the dominant partner, or wrestling/fighting in which the female is stronger than the male. This places an emphasis on emasculating the male, with him trying, or pretending to try, to take control, but failing..
