It can be ethical when it adheres to principles of respect and consent. Both the dominant man and the person surrendering need to be fully aware of what they are getting into. They should be able to freely enter and exit the relationship dynamic. There should also be no abuse of power or harm caused to either party. When these conditions are met, the concept within these stories can be seen as ethical within the context of a consensual relationship.
One type could be the traditional gender - role - based dominant sex stories, where in a heterosexual context, the male is often portrayed as the dominant figure in the sexual relationship. Another type might involve power dynamics in more complex relationships, like in BDSM - inspired stories where the concept of dominance and submission is explored consensually.
One common theme is the transfer of power. The woman holds the power and makes decisions, while the man follows. Another theme is respect. Despite the power dynamic, there is often respect between them. For example, in a story where a dominant female doctor has a submissive male nurse, the nurse respects the doctor's medical knowledge and decisions.
In 'Moby - Dick', Captain Ahab is extremely dominant. His single - minded pursuit of the white whale drives the entire story. He rules over his crew with an iron fist, and his obsession is so strong that it overshadows everything else on the ship.
There are also some independent films that explore such themes. For example, 'Carol' has elements where one character, Carol, can be seen as having a more dominant role in the relationship at times. Her confidence and the way she initiates and guides the relationship in certain aspects can be considered as signs of dominance in their lesbian relationship.
One well - known example could be from the novel 'Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit' by Jeanette Winterson. It delves into the relationship of a young lesbian woman in a complex and often dominant - themed relationship within the context of her life and society. Another might be found in some works of Sappho's poetry, which, while often fragmentary, gives glimpses into relationships between women that could be interpreted as having elements of dominance in an emotional or physical sense.
One example could be in the story 'Fifty Shades of Grey' where Anastasia Steele shows dominance in certain aspects of her relationship with Christian Grey. For instance, she stands up for her boundaries and what she wants in the relationship, which can be seen as a form of dominance.
Sharing such stories is highly unethical. These types of stories often involve non - consensual and inappropriate content. Prison is a place where people are supposed to be rehabilitating, and spreading such salacious and improper tales violates the privacy and dignity of inmates and goes against basic moral and ethical standards.
Another example could be from some historical romance novels. Some male characters, often knights or lords, are depicted as dominant in their relationships with the female characters. They make decisions and are in control, and this can include sexual aspects. For example, in novels set during the medieval period, the male hero might be the one to initiate and lead in romantic and sexual encounters.
