Maledom scenarios are common in [[BDSM]] fiction, including works such as the ''[[Story of O]]'' and the works of [[John Norman]] and Adrian Hunter. Maledom is a growing adult film genre.

Maledom fiction began with the works of the [[Marquis de Sade]] who wrote about sexual scenarios in which men tortured others, primarily women. The term ''[[Sadism and Masochism|sadism]]'' is derived from de Sade's name. Since then, the lifestyle around male dominance has grown into a large part of the [[BDSM scene]].

The [[Fifty Shades (novel series)|''Fifty Shades'' novel series]] by [[E. L. James]] is associated with the cultural mainstreaming and normalising of BDSM. The books achieved great commercial success, with the first volume selling over 100 million copies worldwide.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=mdyIEAAAQBAJ&pg=PT66|title=Sex For Sale: Prostitution, Pornography, and Erotic Dancing|first=Ronald|last= Weitzer|publisher=Taylor & Francis|date=2022|isbn=9781000643435|page=66}}</ref>
