[9] Male dominants are often referred to as dom, master, owner, sir, taskmaster, corporalist, boss or top.

Maledom fiction began with the works of the Marquis de Sade who wrote about sexual scenarios in which men tortured others, primarily women.

Since then, the lifestyle around male dominance has grown into a large part of the BDSM scene.

The books achieved great commercial success, with the first volume selling over 100 million copies worldwide.
