It depends on how they are portrayed and the context. If all parties involved are consenting adults and the stories are about healthy, respectful relationships, then they can be considered ethical in the realm of fictional exploration.
Often, there is a theme of trust. For a wife to be submissive in sexual situations, there has to be a high level of trust between her and her partner. It's about feeling safe enough to let go of control. Another theme can be the enhancement of sexual pleasure through this dynamic, as some believe that the roles can add an extra layer of excitement to the sexual relationship.
There is a story where a wife is submissive and obedient in terms of supporting her husband's career choices. For example, when her husband got a job offer in another city, she immediately started to look for ways to make the move smooth. She arranged for the packing, found a new home in the new city, and was very supportive throughout the process, not being selfish about leaving her own social circle behind.
Yes, there are significant ethical concerns. The idea of a'sex slave' is completely unacceptable as it involves non - consensual and dehumanizing elements. In a healthy relationship, both partners should be equal, with mutual respect, consent, and freedom. No one should be subjugated in such a demeaning way, even in the realm of fictional stories.

No. These stories are not appropriate as they objectify and demean women. They promote an unequal and often disrespectful view of relationships, which goes against the values of equality and mutual respect that should be present in healthy relationships.
Fairy tales are also a great alternative. Tales like 'Cinderella' or 'Snow White' which have elements of magic, kindness and the triumph of good over evil. They are not only entertaining but also carry important moral lessons. Moreover, mystery stories are quite engaging. You can get lost in trying to figure out who the culprit is in a detective story, like Sherlock Holmes' adventures.
